Quality

Quality Matters

Are you buying 100% pure lavender oil? Be sure to check the label. Some manufacturers use lavandin, or synthetic lavender fragrance from linalool or linalyl acetate to make their products smell more like lavender. Only true lavender oil has the chemical constituents which produce its medicinal and therapeutic properties. Case-in-point: Lavender is a calmative that can be used directly on the skin to soothe burns. Adulterated lavender can contain camphor which is a skin irritant.

You can trust Frontier products to be the freshest, purest and most sustainably produced. Simply put, quality effects taste and efficacy. We never produce or market products that make empty claims or contain questionable ingredients.

Once herbs and spices arrive at Frontier, every aspect of their handling is done with quality in mind.

• Climate controlled storage (70 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% relative humidity) to preserve freshness and chemically active plant constituents.
• We use CO2 fumigation for insect control in herbs and spices, which enables us to avoid the use of chemicals or radiation.
• Strict sanitation rules enforced through regular inspections by Quality Assurance.
• Product handling, processing and packaging systems set up to maximize the quality of the final product.
• Exposure to moisture and heat minimized at all times. Grinding of spices and herbs is done cryogenically at temperatures below -20 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Herbs and spices are packaged in materials which ensure the optimum quality of a product -- foil laminate pouches, glass bottles, or plastic bags double-bagged in paper.
• We use a sophisticated computerized inventory system that allows any herb or spice, even a minor ingredient in a blend, to be instantly located or traced back to its origin.
