About Us - PerMax®

Our Story

Founded in 2008, PerMax®’s mission from the beginning was to share the highest quality essential oils with the world. Having seen the incredible benefits of using these precious resources, a group of healthcare and business professionals set out to make that mission a reality. They formed a company and named it PerMax®, Maximize your Perfection.

The first hurdle they needed to overcome was to establish a quality standard in an industry that had never had one previously. The PerMax® founders were committed to providing only the purest, highest-grade essential oils. This commitment led to the creation of a new standard of quality: CPG Certified Pure Grade^TM. Every PerMax® oil is held to the highest possible level of purity.

PerMax® Today

PerMax® sources, tests, manufactures, and distributes essential oils and related products to over five million PerMax® Wellness Advocates and customers. Company products are sold in international markets and counting.

Through industry-leading, responsible sourcing practices, PerMax® maintains the highest levels of quality, purity, and sustainability in partnerships with local growers around the globe.

Through the life-enhancing benefits of essential oils, PerMax® is changing the world one drop, one person, one community at a time.

Explore our Philosophy

Pure

The purity of an essential oil is its most important characteristic. When an essential oil is adulterated or contaminated, it becomes less effective and can even be dangerous. Above all else, purity is PerMax®’s first priority when producing essential oils.

Scientific

The CPG – Certified Pure Grade® quality testing process includes eight main steps to guarantee that every batch of PerMax® essential oil is pure, unadulterated, and safe for use.

Maximum

The AromaTherapy Technique® is the application of essential oil to the back and feet. This technique combines the unique benefits of human touch with the power of essential oils to create an overall wellness experience.
