Our Story

When our founders met in 2002, two vastly different yet complementary energies came together. She was a graphic design and advertising executive in the music industry, with a friend network of healers and nurses; he was a former industrial chemist and metallurgist, with 20 years of involvement in research, development, production, and international marketing of Australian native essential oils.

To create a life together they established a US-based essential oil business focused on use of these natural materials in wellness and health care settings. Compliance with FDA requirements was foundational, which dictated a significantly different approach from other essential oil marketers.

Plant Extracts International was incorporated in 2006; its goal to bring essential oils and plant extracts into health care environments where their benefits could be best utilized, by encouraging practitioner education in properties and safe use, and in compliance with already-established institutional protocols. PEI now provides trusted, innovative products to hundreds of practitioners and hospitals across the US.
