You say Auroma is TGA listed – what does this mean?

T.G.A is the Therapeutic Goods Administration, and they are responsible for maintaining quality, safety and efficacy of therapeutic goods used in and exported from Australia.

Essential oils are considered to be therapeutic goods, as research indicates they provide therapeutic benefit. In order for a company to make therapeutic claims, it must have a listing with the TGA. They must also be able to prove that the claims they are making are backed up by substantial evidence.

Auroma have gone through an intensive process to ensure that we meet the stringent requirements of the TGA, and that all claims made are genuine and provable. Technical requirements of TGA listed products include:
· AUST L or AUST R number must be displayed on the primary packaging
· Detailed and accurate labeling showing common name, botanical species and plant part
· Display of batch numbers and expiry date
· Display of storage conditions and product cautions
· Display of therapeutic use of the product

Auroma’s TGA listing means we have met strict industry standards and can be trusted to provide authentic products and realistic claims.
