THE MISSION OF ALCHEMIA
AlchemiA (formerly Holy Wood) is a wholesaler of natural wellness products such as palo santo, natural incenses, essential oils, florida water, oil crystals and much more.Characteristics here are: sustainability, purity, Fair Trade, natural raw materials and above all joy in life. Our mission is to bring Western consumers and non-Western producers together with passion and joy. Let's Celebrate life!
Some of our packaging is biodegradable. In addition, only chipwood is used for the Palo Santo sticks. The wood is sourced locally with respect for nature and according to the principles of Fair Trade. Only branches that fall naturally from the trees are used, and for every kilo of wood used, a new Palo Santo tree is planted, thus helping to preserve the rainforest.
AlchemiA's incenses are made only from the best and natural ingredients such as plant extracts and essential oils. We do not use chemical dipping incense as 90% of the incenses on the market do. Dipping incenses are neutral sticks dipped into a scented and chemical solvent.
AlchemiA's incenses are handcrafted in accordance with the strict standards of the IFRA (International Fragrance Association). Our incenses are not made with ingredients that threaten plant and animal species. No tests are performed on animals.
AlchemiA has a strong ethical commitment. We work with our suppliers in developing countries on the basis of structural cooperation and with respect for a social, ecological and Fair Trade working environment. In addition, our business operations allow us to fund humanitarian projects such as Doctor Dolkar's clinic in New Delhi and the V.G.K.K., a humanitarian organization supporting populations in southern India.
Our incenses are made without the use of synthetic or chemical ingredients/glues. The dried herbs we offer (such as sage and cedar) are harvested preserving the plant. We use only plants that grow in the wild.
Our vision is to join forces across all continents. With the goal of bringing the people who make the products, the people in the supply chain and the ultimate consumer closer together. We believe in the power of people, nature and the cooperation between all parts of life. Let's celebrate life. Let's celebrate life!
