Sweet orange: A calming yet uplifting addition to your home kit, sweet orange can enhance emotional well-being Our bottles dispense measured drops, not too fast or too slow - just right. Always in blue/brown glass to minimise the exposure of light to the contents, and so preserving the authentic aromatics and properties of the oils. If a label outright says “fragrance oil” and there’s no Latin name present, it’s not an essential oil.A household name for self-care products and dietary supplements, Now Foods was founded by Elwood Richard in the 1960s with the intention of creating affordable, high-quality nutritional products. Today, the brand’s vast catalog includes pure essential oils (though there are some exceptions, like the synthetic jasmine, which is labeled such), blends, and USDA organic-certified essential oils. Neeti Mehra writes about sustainability for The Spruce. As a researcher and consultant, she has edited three magazines during her career covering a broad range of topics. She is committed to sustainable, slow, and mindful living. She personally uses essential oils as a mood booster and particularly enjoys tea tree, rosemary, lavender, and lemongrass, using them in baths, a diffuser, or applied on her skin after diluting them. Some plants aren’t even capable of yielding an essential oil ­— like violets. If you see a bottle labeled “violet oil,” sorry to break it to you, but there’s no violet essential oil from the plant Viola odorata (aka sweet violets). They’re too small and delicate to extract an EO from using traditional methods.

Shopping for essential oils is like shopping for diamonds in that you have to shop from quality vendors and they’re both precious commodities that aren’t always the real deal.The label should also specify that it is “100 percent pure essential oil” and list the net contents (including metric measurement). If it says “essence oil,” that’s not a pure essential oil but typically a premixed blend of essential oil(s) in a base of carrier oil (like jojoba). This is great for certain applications but is not a pure essential oil. Expression: This method is also known as ‘cold pressing’ as no heat is involved. It is most commonly used to extract essential oils from citrus fruits. The method involves mechanically puncturing the rind of the fruit to release the essential oil. Water is sprayed over the fruit to collect the oil and this solution is then filtered and centrifuged to extract the pure oil from the water and other solids. This method produces high quality oils with aromas that are almost identical to the fruit itself. Massage is one of the most effective ways of using essential oils, as the power of touch actually enhances the healing potential of the oils. The essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil prior to application. Other popular uses include: baths or showers, vaporisation (in a candle burner or aromatherapy diffuser), inhalations, or in creams, lotions and gels to improve the condition of the skin.

The label should clearly list all ingredients in the formula, and if you’re shopping for a pure EO, it should have only one ingredient. Verify the source Suppliers won’t claim to sell low quality or adulterated essential oils, so it’s important to learn to see through clever marketing. Pure essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants that produce fragrant essences located in tiny secretory cells in various parts of the plant. These natural essences can be found in flowers, leaves, twigs, berries, seeds, roots, peel, resin, bark or wood. Tea Tree for example comes from leaves and twigs, Lavender from flowers, Lemon from peel and Sandalwood from wood. The plant uses these magical essences for many of the same things that we use them for, such as fighting infection, healing wounds and repelling insects. They are therefore often described as the aromatic heart, life force and soul and spirit of the plant! You should be able to easily find out where it was sourced from. If the label doesn’t outright mention country of origin, you might see a “lot#,” which you can then look up.

Not all essential oils are created with utmost purity and authenticity in mind, and unfortunately they’re not regulated by the FDA. This means you must be your own advocate when it comes to sourcing the good stuff (same with cosmetics, folks). Since they first started practicing aromatherapy in the 1970s, Geraldine Howard and Sue Beechey fell in love with essential oils. Wishing to help others explore the sensorial world of essential oils, they opened the first Aromatherapy Associates store in 1985, specializing in handcrafted intentional and purposeful blends created by a master blender from the company’s London-based laboratory. For instance, Deep Relax is a restorative blend of grounding vetiver, soothing chamomile, and relaxing sandalwood that will lull you to sleep. Essential oils can be used in myriad ways. Add a few drops to diffusers, dabble in DIY laundry detergents and home cleansers, or massage it onto your skin. Essential oils do need to be diluted to prevent possible adverse skin reactions and toxicity. Shutes recommends diluting them with a carrier oil, unscented cream or lotion, or aloe vera gel. “For adults, a 2.5 percent dilution is good. This means adding a total of 15 to 20 drops of essential oil into one fluid ounce of carrier liquid or cream. For children under the age of 5 and over the age of 3, use a 0.5 to 1 percent dilution.”

Sadly, that means some of those brown bottles you see on shelves are filled with cheap synthetic fillers, extenders, or even just “fragrance oils” in efforts to simply turn a profit. Sometimes they’ll come with an eyedropper cap, but more often they’ll come with an orifice reducer (the round, plastic part fitted into the bottle’s opening that helps meter out one drop at a time). You can also add a drop of essential oil to water. “If the water becomes discolored or turns milky, then it has been diluted with water and an emulsifier has been used to keep the essential oil and water together,” she says. Poor quality essential oils do not have the same therapeutic effects as high quality oils. They may have been distilled from poor crops, they may have been handled incorrectly, they may be old/oxidised, or they may have been adulterated in some way (this means that distillers or essential oil suppliers may have added chemicals or other oils to make them cheaper or easier to supply). Oils that have been adulterated or tampered with are no longer pure, whole, natural substances and will therefore not work in the same way as a 100% pure, high quality oil. They may even cause harmful side-effects.When using essential oils therapeutically it is crucial that you only buy 100% pure, premium quality, essential oils from a reputable and established aromatherapy supplier such as Base Formula. We guarantee that all our oils are 100% pure and unadulterated and will always detail the botanical species, chemotype and country of origin. As members of the Aromatherapy Trade Council our oils are subject to random testing at independent laboratories to ensure they're of the purist quality. We can also provide Gas Chromatography Analysis on request (subject to availability). Using essential oils safely
