Frequently Asked Question's
Is Organik Wellness & Co. an Australian Company?
Yes, Organik Wellness & Co. is proudly Australian Made & Owned. All our products are developed by our team in the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia. Established in 2016 our team is committed to delivering innovative, high-quality products, all whilst seeking to use the best natural and organic ingredients Australia has to offer.
Why should I choose natural and organic?
Organic produce is becoming more accessible thanks to consumer demand. With GMO’S and heavy pesticide use, it has never been a better time to choose natural and organic. Pesticide exposure, either directly or via mamas during pregnancy and breastfeeding, is linked to declining cognitive function in children.
However, many cosmetic brands are still using synthetic ingredients with misleading marketing information to allure the consumer into thinking their products are safe. These brands are also large contributors to environmental damage and continue to test on animals. We encourage consumers to opt for brands that use natural and organic ingredients for the benefit of their health and the future of our planet and children.
Are Organik Wellness & Co. products certified organic?
Organik Wellness & Co. used to be certified with ACO (Australian Certified Organic) which is Australia’s leading organic and bio-dynamic certification body. Due to COVID-19 we had to look at ways to save costs to ensure our business could continue to trade. In 2020 we made the decision not to continue with our certification. However our manufacture is certified with ACO and we continue to use the same quality ingredients and hope that in the near future we can sustain our certification once again. All organic ingredients listed in our products are certified. If you would like more information regarding this please contact us directly at hello@organikwellness.com.au
