Reviewing the Formulation.
Aroleva selects products under a three-stage sourcing review. Each item in the catalogue — whether a body cream, body butter, daily vitamin or supplement complex — is assessed for ingredient origin, supplier documentation and formulation integrity before listing. The following notes describe the review process in full.
Aroleva selects products under the following principles: each item in the catalogue is reviewed for ingredient transparency before listing, supplier documentation is requested where available, corrections are noted in the catalogue record, and the selection team discloses any commercial relationships that could influence inclusion.
Three Stages. One Standard.
Origin & Ingredient Assessment
The first stage reviews where each ingredient comes from. For body care formulations, the origin of plant-derived components, cold-pressed oils and botanical extracts is assessed against supplier documentation. For supplement formulations, nutrient sources — whether botanical extracts, mineral complexes or vitamin derivatives — are identified and documented.
Products without adequate origin documentation at this stage are not advanced to the following review stages. The origin assessment establishes the foundation for ingredient transparency across both product lines.
Formulation Review
The second stage reviews the formulation itself. For body care products — including body creams, body butters, body lotions and body balms — each formulation is reviewed for ingredient concentration, compatibility with everyday application and daily routine suitability. The formulation review for vitamins and supplement complexes focuses on nutrient concentration and compatibility with a daily supplement schedule.
Products in this stage are reviewed based on published ingredient research. The catalogue does not conduct its own laboratory testing. Independently reviewed formulation data is prioritised where available.
Catalogue Inclusion & Documentation
Products completing both prior stages are assessed for catalogue inclusion. At this stage, the selection team prepares the catalogue entry: ingredient breakdown, sourcing notes, product description and key nutrient or botanical notes. The entry is reviewed against the catalogue's vocabulary standards — descriptions reflect formulation composition rather than outcome claims.
Included products are logged in the internal catalogue record with the review date and reviewing team member. Periodic re-review is conducted for listed products when supplier documentation or formulation notes are updated by the manufacturer.
Ingredient Transparency Standards
Plant-Derived Priority
Both body care and supplement product lines prioritise plant-derived, botanical and organic extract ingredients. Ingredient sourcing is reviewed for plant-origin confirmation where this is relevant to the formulation category. Cold-pressed oils, herbal infusions and active botanicals are prioritised in body cream formulations; botanical extracts and plant-sourced nutrients in supplement formulations.
Supplier Documentation
Supplier documentation — including ingredient origin records, formulation notes and independent quality certifications — is requested for each product at the time of initial review. Documentation is retained internally and is available on request for catalogue enquiries. Products without adequate documentation do not advance through the review process.
Periodic Re-Review
Products listed in the catalogue are subject to periodic re-review, particularly when supplier documentation is updated or a formulation change is disclosed by the manufacturer. Corrections to listed entries are noted publicly in the catalogue record. Products that no longer meet the selection standard following re-review are removed from the catalogue.
What the Catalogue Documents
Body Care Ingredients
Body care formulations in the catalogue are reviewed for the following ingredient categories. Documentation for each category is assessed at the origin review stage.
Supplement & Vitamin Ingredients
Daily vitamin and supplement formulations are reviewed for the following nutrient and ingredient categories.
What the Review Does Not Cover
The Aroleva catalogue review does not include laboratory testing. Ingredient assessments are conducted against supplier documentation and published ingredient research, not independent laboratory analysis. The catalogue does not hold testing certifications.
The catalogue does not make claims about what any listed product does for the body. Product descriptions document formulation composition. Individuals with specific personal requirements are encouraged to speak with a qualified wellness professional before introducing any new routine.
