NEW AT NATURE'S FORMULARY.....
You expressed a preference for buying goods that are 100% natural or organic. We know you are also concerned about the impact that consumer packaged goods are having on the environment. We hear you!
Nature’s Formulary recently announced that going forward all of its products will be manufactured from organic or wildcrafted herbal raw materials. To support this change, we recently launched new initiatives under a program titled “Sustainable Cultivation • Best Practices”. The objective of the program is to establish criteria for working with suppliers of the company’s natural materials. Nature’s Formulary will give preference to suppliers who support these initiatives:
- All plant based materials will be either organic or wildcrafted.
- Organic agriculture will support sustainable cultivation.
- Wildcrafted materials will be sustainably collected with strict compliance to government regulations. Support of wildcrafted materials provides collectors with a means of livelihood. Provide collectors education on responsible forestry practices.

- Preference for family farms. Support fair prices for farmers. We will work to reduce the number of intermediaries between ourselves and the farmer and work together to encourage fair trade practices.
- Support gender equality for workers throughout the supply chain; from farm to factory. Educate growers about child labor.
- Support local communities near growing areas with activities such as aid for education, school supplies, internships, assistance in medical care.
- Manufacturers with established policies and engage in best practices such as: Recycle herbal/agricultural by products by offering it to farmers as livestock feed, compost for use as fertilizer, as fuel for thermal process equipment
- Minimize use of water and recycle as much as possible
- Use solar or wind energy.
Nature’s Formulary is also stepping up internal practices that have been in place for quite some time. Here are some examples:
- Our product label is made from material containing recycled paper.
- All of our packaging components have been and continue to be completely recyclable
- We will use solvent free inks; minimizing VOC emissions. These inks eliminate drying equipment, reducing the carbon footprint.
- Use recyclable and biodegradeable packaging materials in our warehouse operations.
For centuries Ayurvedic philosophy has advocated for humans to live in harmony with nature; with respect and reverence for the resources she provides. Nature’s Formulary has always believed in this philosophy; but the time has come for us to expand our activities. Our commitment to the program is reflected by the display of the seal of the program “Sustainable Cultivation • Best Practices” on a redesigned product label to be introduced on all products shipped starting November 2009. As this country’s most experienced Ayurvedic line, we have always believed in on-going product improvement so that customers can purchase the best we can offer.
