*This article is a translated and re-edited version, by FUUKA, of De Groene Linde's official blog. When you want to trust and rely on the power of scent,
it's only natural to wonder, "Is it safe?" or "What kind of quality control do they do?" On this page, we introduce just how seriously De Groene Linde takes quality and safety.
This is well worth reading for anyone who wants to choose their scent with confidence.
A Scent Story That Started in a Small Kitchen
De Groene Linde began as a small effort out of a single room in someone's home, and has since grown into a trusted brand that follows laws and regulations closely.
Holding up that foundation are Lisa, the quality manager, and a team that takes real care in their work.
What Keeps Quality in Check?
Maintaining an essential oil's quality takes more than managing scent alone — it also requires keeping up safety data sheets (ingredient documentation).
By preparing full documentation for every product, whether a single essential oil or a blend, transparency and trust are maintained across the board.
Careful Checks on Raw Materials
Raw materials are carefully checked for color and scent on delivery, and compared against a reference sample.
The stance is strict: if anything falls even slightly short of the standard, that batch is not accepted.
Why Every Product Carries a Tracking Number
Every product carries a batch code, so that if anything were ever to go wrong, the raw materials and process can be traced back immediately.
Under Lisa's oversight, this kind of careful management system is firmly in place.
Labeling for Safety, and Care for the Environment
- Labels that comply with GHS (the international system for classifying and labeling chemicals)
- Clear warnings advising against applying directly to skin or ingesting
- Careful attention to ingredients and quantities used, with the environment in mind
Staff Safety Matters Too
Staff wear gloves and lab coats while working, and a ventilation system keeps the work environment clean.
