Looking to ditch the artificial scents and enhance your environment and health then we have you covered at Alston Wholefoods with a large selection of essential oils. We just added these beauties from Absolute Aromas. We also have one essential oil diffuser in stock.

“Absolute Aromas is now 30 years old and our high quality essential oil products have become a staple for many skilled therapists and aromatherapy enthusiasts around the world.

When I set up Absolute Aromas in a small flat in East London in 1994, I envisioned sharing my passion for exceptional quality, ethically and sustainably sourced essential oils with friends and customers all over the world. Kay, my wife, was pregnant with our first child at the time and joined the company shortly afterwards. Kay’s and my parents helped us out with bottling in the early days and now all three of our children have worked in the company for long periods during school and university vacations, making it a true “family” company.

30 years on, our high-quality essential oil products have become a staple for many skilled therapists and newbies to essential oils and handmade bespoke natural beauty recipes. Today, we try to put back into the essential oil industry through my board positions on IFEAT (International Federation of Essential Oils and Aroma Trades) and ATC (Aromatherapy Trade Council) in the UK.

Our commitment to provide genuinely “clean and green” products to our customers continues as we embrace all-natural plant-based options for clean beauty and health and well-being.”

If you enjoy chewing gum we have a plastic free version from Chewsy Gum at Alston Wholefoods.

“Chewsy is a 🌿 plant based 🌎 plastic free 🦷 sugar free chewing gum made with only the highest quality ingredients for the best possible chew. We use a natural, plastic free gum base which is 🍌 biodegradable and 🌎 planet-friendly. We are 🧪 aspartame-free, and naturally sweetened with 🌳 xylitol which is 🦷 tooth friendly.

Chewing gum is the second largest form of litter in the world, and the annual clean-up cost of chewing gum in the UK is £7 million. The plastic gum base in regular gum are the same as those found in plastic bottles and car tyres. And they never break down.
The plant based gum base that makes Chewsy natural and biodegradable is chicle, a tree sap from the rainforests of Central America.

Not only is our gum plastic free but so is our packaging. Our gums are packed in a flip box made of recyclable paper.

Xylitol, Chicle Gum Base, Natural Flavour, Gum Arabic, Sunflower Lecithin, Carnauba Wax”
