What to look for in an essential oil

 The use of essential oils is becoming a popular practice. It is a natural and less expensive way to care for your health. In Europe you can purchase essential oils at the corner pharmacy. With the popularity of essential oils growing, so are the number of companies distributing them. However, not all essential oils are created equal. Here are three questions to ask as you look for the highest quality essential oil:

• Does the label state that the oil is Certified Organic or Certified Wildcrafted? Organic plants have been grown on unpolluted land without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fumigation or genetic alteration. Wildcrafted plants have grown without human intervention and are harvested from their natural or "wild" habitat. One drop of essential oil is 100 times more concentrated than the plant it came from. Essential oils from non-organic plants contain chemicals and pesticides that are also 100 times more concentrated. The chemicals and natural plant oils cannot be separated during the distilling processes. If the label does not state that it is certified organic or wildcrafted, than it does have chemicals and pesticides in it.
• Are the oils sourced by a Certified Medical Aromatherapist? Certified Medical Aromatherapists supply medicinal grade essential oils. It is the highest quality of essential oil available containing more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals than lower-grade oils. Medicinal grade oils heal the body more quickly and safely.
• Every company says that their oils are the best quality, how do I know which oils really are? A high quality supplier will have each batch of essential oil gas chromatographed (tested for quality). Every bottle of Purify Skin Therapy essential oils contains the batch and lot numbers, providing proof that it has been tested for quality by an independent lab.

As a privately owned small business, when you purchase oils through Purify Skin Therapy, you are paying for the highest quality oils and not for high commissions and company consultants.
