In 2009, I didn’t start Edens Garden to build a company.

I started it because people deserved more transparency.

After nearly a decade working in the natural products industry, I fell in love with the power of Essential Oils and their ability to support wellness, encourage relaxation, and bring the beauty of nature into everyday life. But I also saw something that didn’t sit right with me.

Many Essential Oils were sold through MLM Essential Oil companies. That meant inflated pricing, confusing compensation structures, and, at times, limited ingredient transparency. Customers were often paying more because of the sales model, not because of the quality of the oil.

I believed in something simple:

Purity and affordability shouldn’t depend on a business structure.

People deserved access to 100% pure Essential Oils without overpaying. They deserved honest labeling, transparent testing, and fair prices. No recruiting required.

So, from a tiny garage, Edens Garden was born.

From a Garage to a Global Essential Oil Company

I started Edens Garden in a small garage with one clear mission:

Pure essential oils. Fair prices. No MLM.

That mission still defines us today.

We built Edens Garden as a direct-to-consumer Essential Oil company so customers could buy high-quality Essential Oils online without middleman markups. No distributors. No downlines. No hidden costs. Just affordable aromatherapy products backed by integrity.

In the early days, I personally searched for the highest quality Essential Oils available, sourcing from farms and distillers around the globe. I refused to compromise. Even if it cost us more, our customers’ trust came first.

That foundation of transparency, quality, and education is still at the core of who we are.

A Defining Moment in New Zealand

Years before launching Edens Garden, I was on a mission trip in New Zealand. I remember sitting on a hillside, looking out at untouched countryside as the sun glistened across the landscape.

The air felt pure. My mind felt quiet. My soul felt restored.

That moment shaped me.

Later, when I studied aromatherapy more deeply, I discovered Essential Oils carry that same experience. The concentrated essence of plants, the therapeutic aroma of nature, the calm and grounding that comes from something pure and untouched.

I knew more people deserved that feeling in their daily lives.

That belief became the heartbeat of Edens Garden: making the benefits of aromatherapy accessible, affordable, and trustworthy.

Why “No MLM” Matters

Let me be clear. This was never about criticizing people. It was about creating an alternative.

The essential oil industry had become dominated by multi-level marketing. While that model works for some, it often leads to:

• Higher essential oil prices
• Limited transparency
• Sales pressure instead of education

I wanted to build a non-MLM Essential Oil company rooted in education, safety, and integrity. A company where customers could shop confidently, knowing they were paying for the oil, not the structure behind it.

Today, when people search for:

• “Essential Oils without MLM”
• “Affordable pure Essential Oils”
• “Best Essential Oil company not MLM”
• “GC/MS tested Essential Oils”

I want them to find Edens Garden and feel relief.

Our Commitment to Transparency

Transparency isn’t a marketing term for us. It’s a responsibility.

We provide GC/MS testing reports for every batch of Essential Oil we carry. That means each oil is third-party tested for purity and composition. Nothing added. Nothing taken away.

When you purchase a bottle of Lavender, Frankincense, Peppermint, or any of our Blends, you deserve to know exactly what’s inside.

Transparency builds trust.
Trust builds relationships.
Relationships build companies that last.

What I’ve Learned After 16 Years

A Company Is Made of People

Edens Garden is 100% people. Our chemists, aromatherapists, customer care team, warehouse staff, every single role matters. I’m endlessly grateful for the passionate, intelligent, and dedicated team that brings our Essential Oils to life.

Build on Values, Not Trends

We’ve held the same values since day one:

• High-quality Essential Oils
• Reasonable pricing
• Safety-first education
• Honest sourcing
• No shortcuts

The Essential Oil market has exploded since 2009, but our foundation hasn’t shifted.

It’s a Small (and Beautiful) World

Essential Oils unite the globe. Lavender from Bulgaria. Frankincense from Somalia. Tea Tree from Australia. Each region’s soil and climate create something unique. We rely on farmers and distillers worldwide, and that interconnection is something I deeply cherish.

Family-Owned, Woman-Led

We didn’t set out to be a majority woman-operated Essential Oil company–it simply happened. We’ve always hired based on passion and purpose. I’m proud of the strong women who lead within Edens Garden and the culture of collaboration we’ve built.

Even through seasons of rapid growth, including welcoming four children into our family in just a few short years, we’ve remained grounded in faith, perseverance, and gratitude.

It’s in the Details

Every single Essential Oil Blend has a story.

From Single Oils to Blends designed for sleep, stress relief, focus, or immune support, we obsess over formulation details. We test. We refine. We study aromatherapy safety guidelines. We consult experts.

Because quality isn’t accidental.

When customers search for:

• “Best Essential Oils for sleep”
• “Pure Essential Oils for diffuser”
• “High quality Essential Oils”
• “Safe Essential Oil Blends”

I want them to find education, not hype.

Passion Over Profit

I love building a brand that means something. Edens Garden has always been about more than selling Essential Oils online. It’s about creating a trustworthy aromatherapy company that puts people first.

We are still family-owned.
We are still values-driven.
And we are still committed to keeping essential oils affordable and accessible.

Even as we’ve grown and reached millions of customers worldwide, I still sit with our team dreaming up ways to make Edens Garden more valuable to you.

Blessed to Bless

I truly believe it’s a blessing to give.

If Edens Garden has brought calm to your home, supported your wellness routine, or helped you feel more connected to nature, then every late night, every risk, and every tiny-garage beginning was worth it.

Lastly, You

Without you, there isn’t an us.

You, our loyal customer, are part of the Edens Garden family. Your trust means everything. Your questions push us to educate better. Your support allows us to keep our promise:

100% pure Essential Oils. Transparent testing. Fair prices. No MLM.

That was the mission in 2009.
It’s the mission today.
It always will be.

With gratitude,
Grace
