Are you interested in essential oils but are confused about which company to buy from? It can be frustrating to navigate through thousands of blog posts and articles about essential oils.
What Makes Essential Oil Pure?
Many companies claim to sell 100%
pure, natural, therapeutic-grade oils. They may even say "certified or “therapeutic-grade”
and “pure” and apply those terms to their marketing strategies.
It is often understood that
"pure" essential oils are those that contain only fragrant compounds
from the plant without dilution. Additives and adultery can be harmful to the
body and greatly reduce the effectiveness of the oil. They are usually added to
essential oils as a way to reduce production costs and can include: chemical
dilutants, synthetic oils, blends of cheap and expensive oils, and alcohol.
Quality Issues to Consider When Choosing a Company:
In addition to oil production, it
is also important to consider two other factors when choosing an essential oil
company:
How the plants are grown: Basically, you can think of this in the
same way as buying organic/local foods compared to conventional ones. Organic essential oil is better than usual because the effects of chemicals affect the
reliability of the oil. Buying essential oils from local companies is much better
than buying organic because of the high quality and personal care of the plants
planted.
How oil is distilled: The best processes are the ones that change
the most essential oils, thus preserving the value of the most effective
treatment. This means no additional pressure or heat. In general, the best
distillation methods aren’t ideal for large crops, and so quicker methods are
usually employed.
Checklist for Selecting Essential Oil Company
After considering all this
information and much more, I came to the conclusion that I just needed to do my
best to choose a company that seemed to offer the best price. However, my
research has revealed some important things about Essential Oil companies that
should be considered. I have decided on the following as my checklist.
Purity: I want to choose an oil that I feel good about using with
my family, so I want to buy crude oil. To me, this is like buying more natural /
local food whenever I can (which is not always the case). I would like to get
the purest oil I can afford.
Price: I don’t have the money to just throw it away. However, if I
am going to do this EO thing, I agree that I would have to pay more to get
quality information with the customer.
Quality: Keeping the price point in mind, I would like to find a
valuable oil company with procures oils locally and produce the highest quality
oil. Ask for certificates or reports to ensure the quality of oils.
Service: I have a lot of questions and I am looking for a company
that can provide good customer service and education on how to use my oils more
effectively. I also want them to be real professionals who shoot straight
instead of retaliating. Did I point too high here?
Reputation: Choosing a company with a reputation for all of the
above is very helpful. Getting news of company contacts and valuable oil
experiences helps me make the best choice among the many good options.
There should be a price difference between Oils
When choosing an essential oil
product, look for one that has a variety of costs. If you find a range of
essential oils all the same price, that probably means they are spoiled by
cheap aromatic oils, vegetable oils, or similar cheap oils. Now to be clear, it
is not a bad thing to mix essential oils and vegetable oils. But that's just
the way it is: mixed. You will see more expensive essential oils like Rose otto
often come in with jojoba oil to lower the price. All right! You wouldn’t just
use it as if it were 100% pure olive oil, and the brand should be marketed
appropriately.
The reason is that some essential
oils are more expensive than others related to the production of essential oils
from the plant. When oil glands are present in a plant, the yield of essential
oils increases, and the cost of extracting them increases. It is therefore not
the most expensive essential oils that are used more or of higher quality than
the less expensive ones. It’s just hard to pull off the bulk (Rose otto is a
prime example).
Avoid words like "Perfume" & "fragrance" or additional ingredients
If the bottle is labeled
"essential oil perfume," "the scent of essential oils" or
"potpourri essential oil," it does not matter if the words
"essential oil" is there - the thing is a synthetic one. Nor does it
mean that if there is something in the bottle list other than essential oils,
it is not 100% essential oil.
Organic is best
If possible, look for certified
essential oils. the quality of the growing conditions of the plant (soil,
environment, etc.) affects not only the quality of the oil but also its
chemical composition. There is also the issue of allergies and sensitivity.
Sometimes when a person has an allergy to essential oil, it is actually a
reaction to the pesticide or plant residues used in the plant, not the
essential oil.
