HBTL and it's village enterprises lead the way in producing and marketing the only FSC, Organic and Wildlife Friendly certified essential oils in the world. The aromatic plants are harvested from responsibly managed forests and organic farms by villagers, distilled by local communities and quality controlled and packaged by HBTL for sale to national and international markets.
Vegetable oils are the source of personal care products and cosmetics ingredients. In Nepal, these oils have been used mainly for cooking purposes. Vegetable oils are expelled from wild plant seeds, using a traditional and mechanical oil expellers and a thorough post filtration or purification process.
