Khaty's is a Swiss company that works with small family businesses and cooperatives to produce essential oils according to organic quality. They also work with non-organic-certified businesses, as test seals are often a high cost, especially for small businesses. They include these products in their assortment after they have been checked by their experts and at the same time grant the producer an interest-free loan so that he can have his product officially certified if he so wishes. They also agree annual purchase quantities with the producers so that they have the financial means to renew their organic certificates independently every year.

Every year, Khaty's assesses the growing areas of the manufacturers: Among other things, the nature of the soil, the origin of the irrigation, the neighboring fields and the bio-diversity are checked.

All of their oils are vegan and not tested on animals.
