Aura Cacia was founded in 1982 in Weaverville, California. The founders realized the power of essential oils and began spreading the word about aromatherapy. The more people learned, the more they demanded essential oils and other natural aromatherapy products -- a process that is continues today.

When Frontier Natural Products Co-op purchased the company in 1993, Aura Cacia was well-established as the market leader in aromatherapy. Frontier had been selling essential oils in response to member requests since 1978 and already had expert quality testing and sourcing capabilities in place. The combination of established quality expertise and the market leadership of the Aura Cacia brand melded into a popular, premium-quality aromatherapy line.

Aura Cacia continues as the quality leader in aromatherapy today via our Source to the Shelf™ Strategy. Our ethical and sustainable sourcing program, Well Earth™, and our in-house sophisticated testing capabilities, allow us to guarantee the purity of our essential oils. In the face of increasing adulteration and quality exaggeration in the marketplace, this is peace of mind for our customers.
