Buy Aromatherapy Oils |
 | Sidebar I see the difference in price between cobalt blue bottle and amber dark bottle. It appears that cobalt blue bottle is more expensive than the amber dark. Since it's not make a big difference in their quality to use amber dark bottle for the blends, some of the essential oils suppliers use this bottle for their custom blending. This will make their selling price more cheaper. |
Noticing the label of the essential oil. Pure essential has a therapeutic value sold as therapeutic grade. Not all essential oil has a therapeutic value. Fragrance oil, hydrosol, absolute, are not essential oil. These oils are sold less expensive than the one has therapeutic value. Essential oils has different grade which is different from one another supplier. Low prices may also mean the oil is a second or third distillation of the plant material, in which case it will have far less therapeutic value.
It’s important that we should know the Latin botanical name of the plant material. It is also helpful to note the country of origin for the oil. Most good essential oil sellers will readily supply the botanical names and country of origin for the oils that they sell. When comparing one company's with another, also pay attention to if either company's oils are organic, wild-crafted or ethically farmed.
If you use the recipe in this site, Please read the botanical name of the plant before you buy aromatherapy oils. It should be the same as I recommended.
Find a reputable supplier. Especially when you buy aromatherapy oils online. Read their refund policy and shipment term. You can ask the seller if he/she has the oils tested by an independent lab using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) to verify their purity and authenticity. Those sellers who have close communication with their suppliers, and have their oils tested, will be more likely to provide a pure product.
What is Gas Chromatography?
Chromatography in which the substance to be separated into its components is diffused along with a carrier gas through a liquid or solid adsorbent for differential adsorption.
GC is used to measure air pollutants, essential oils, gases or alcohol in blood, and composition of industrial process streams.
Test Your Essential Oils For Purity
A simple test will tell you if your essential oils are pure or if they include petroleum-based solvents which can cause environmental health problems.
Petroleum-based solvents are often long-lasting in the environment, are stored in our fat, and are a source of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that negatively affect indoor air quality.
Here's the test:
Put a few sample drops of your oils on a blotting paper.Pure essential oils will not leave any residue once they have evaporated. Petroleum solvents will.
