ESSENTIAL OILS

ABOUT OUR OILS

Michele Williams Esoterics are distributors to the Western Cape of the Zinziba Natural Oils range.

Zinziba Natural Oils was born out of a desire to meet the ever-growing demand for essential oils as well as carrier oils by therapists and members of the public alike. Furthermore, it recognized the need for more job opportunities in South Africa and we believe we have found a way to give something back to the community who lives among the rich plant kingdom from which the amazing South African essential oils are distilled. Other South African companies, like the Grassroots Group, manufacturers of the SA oils, have done pioneering work in this regard and Zinziba Natural Oils can only strengthen their purpose by stimulating an aromatherapy market to use and understand the South African oils. It has as its objective, therefore, to supply essential and carrier oils to the consumer in a user-friendly manner whilst at the same time contributing to improved circumstances for otherwise disadvantaged people, either directly or indirectly.

Zinziba sources oils from all over the world and is naturally proud to boast the South African essential oils in their product list. Zinziba Natural Oils is primarily a South African company and endeavors at all times to promote its own, while at the same time recognizing the fabulous oils that are distilled all over the world and the demand for these oils by a growing market of users of essential oils for various reasons. While the South African oils possess fantastic properties, there is such a rich and vast variety of equally amazing essential oils all over the world and we would like to think that we give our clients a wide and free choice. Zinziba Natural Oils has a close working relationship with the Grassroots Group, the largest manufacturer of South African essential oils and we can offer these oils with pride and confidence. We enjoy equally professional and trustworthy relationships with our suppliers worldwide.

Quality and purity are undisputed and we do NOT compromise on these. Zinziba Natural Oils will rather go without any particular oil if the perfect quality cannot be sourced for any reason. We do not believe in tampering with oils or offering inferior quality oil. We are concerned only with the correct properties of the oils that we market under our label and do not wish to achieve “better” fragrance profiles by adulterating oils. An analysis of Zinziba oils is available at all times to any person upon enquiry. Only the highest quality essential oils are suitable for the aromatherapy market, which is the target market of Zinziba Natural Oils.
