SIMPLES is the acronym for Syndicat Inter-Massifs pour la Production et L'Économie des Simples. The organization and their seal were created in 1982 by a group of artisans living in remote mountain regions of France. Today there are more than 180 member producers gathering organically grown wild plants across the French mountains and isolated plains.

The group created a professional status for gatherers of wild plants. It safeguards and enhances the uses, knowledge and traditional know-how related to these treasures.

The mission of SIMPLES is to raise awareness about environmental protection and alternative approaches to agricultural production as well as meaningful health and lifestyle approaches (wild foraged food, phytotherapy, etc.). It promotes the sharing of their experience with producers of aromatic and medicinal plants around the world.

We have decided to feature our latest distillation of Atlas Cedar as the first in a series of SIMPLES certified oils. If you are looking for the ultimate in true artisanal, non-industrial production, the essential oils worthy of SIMPLES designation are the most genuine and authentic you can experience.
