FairWild Foundation’s Post

🌿What are Asia's wild ingredients to watch in global aromatherapy markets?🌷 The aromatherapy industry is crucial in promoting sustainable and fair sourcing of wild ingredients and securing their supply chains. Deborah Vorhies, FairWild Foundation CEO, will speak at IFEAT - The International Federation of Essential Oils and Aroma Trades on Thursday, 14 November, about some of the wild ingredients trending in the Asian aromatherapy market. She will delve into the critical issues surrounding the sourcing of wild ingredients such as Jatamansi, Sandalwood, and Frankincense from Asia. Jatamansi is already a FairWild-certified ingredient through Himalayan Biotrade, as is Frankincense through Nature Connect India Pvt.Ltd. With market growth rates of between 4.9 and 8.2%, the pressure to sustain the harvesting of these plants contributes to the preservation of their landscapes and the rewilding of Asia. These markets also support economic sustainability in the rural communities that collect these wild ingredients for a living. This year, FairWild’s participation at IFEAT is kindly supported by the UK Government through the #DarwinInitiative. We’ll be making connections for two of our sustainable trade projects—promoting responsible sourcing of ingredients from Nepal’s Himalayas and sustainable Frankincense from Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia—as well as promoting our full range of certified sustainable wild-harvested essential oils and ingredients.
