We are listed in Green America’s National Green Pages here.  It is the nation’s only directory of screened and approved green businesses. 

Our Cold Pressed/Unrefined (Extra Virgin) Olive Oil (the main ingredient in each of our soap recipes) is certified organic.  It is the highest quality, from the first pressing of the olives, and we use it in our cooking as well as our soaps (kept in different bottles, of course!).   Our palm kernel oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter, are from the same supplier and also certified organic.  Our unrefined shea butter is certified fair trade.  Our essential oils are from reputable sources and are the highest quality available

We are very particular about what goes into each of our candles and soaps.  All of our palm products meet very stringent guidelines which adhere to the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil. No wildlife is endangered in the growth, harvesting, or production of our palm kernel oil or palm wax.  Read here for more on this topic.  If you have any questions or comments, please contact Wendy at BesemNaturalScents@mac.com.
