Born of Necessity…
Akhet Aromatics manifested out of a need for high quality cosmetic products made without harsh, synthetic chemicals. Just a century ago, these products were common place. But with the advent of synthetic fragrance chemicals, which are much cheaper to mass produce, quality has given way to the bottom line of the parent companies of health & beauty product lines. Their bottom line: Make it quicker, make it cheaper, and spend enough on marketing to deceive consumers into believing that they are receiving the ‘genuine article,’ and not an inferior and potentially dangerous imitation of it.
The perfume industry does not require disclosure of the chemicals used in their fragrances. Their ingredients label can simply read, “fragrance” (ref. Fragranced Consumer Products and Undisclosed Ingredients by Anne C. Steinemann, University of Washington). In our shop, you will find a complete ingredients list for every one of our products because we place consumer education & safety above formula secrecy. Akhet Aromatics was born of a necessity to be fully informed on what are putting on our bodies, and with this shop our goal is not only to offer a natural product line, but to provide educational resources for those seeking all-natural products.
