Tips on Buying Essential OilsPossibly the most important thing to remember is that anyone, no matter who they are, trying to sell you essential oils, is trying to make a profit. That's okay, as long as you get what you pay for. The problem is that some unscrupulous vendors will try to sell you substances that are not truly pure essential oils. The labeling may tell you what you're actually dealing with. If it says "natural identical oil," then it clearly is not the actual essential oil you are looking for. When the label tells you it is "fragrance oil," or "perfume oil," you can be sure that it is not one single essential oil. It is at best a mixture and at worst a chemical concoction. The containers your essential oils are bottled in are important to consider. Plastic containers can melt into the oil, destroying the effectiveness and sometimes the safety of the oils. Clear bottles let the light ruin good essential oils. Try to get essential oils in dark glass bottles. One thing to look for in a vendor is good customer relations. If a seller gives you a chance to try their items before you buy, it gives you peace of mind that they are offering a quality product. When they are happy to communicate with you to answer questions and give information, it only shows that they are more reputable. You should be given information about the particular essential oils you are looking into before you buy. You should know where they are from and what distillation method was used. If you know all that, you will have an idea of what to expect the price to be. When a vendor sells all of their essential oils for the same set price, you will know something is wrong. The oils made from more exotic plants, or plants with little oil, should cost more. Either the vendor is charging too much for some of them, or he/she is not supplying a quality product in all cases. Essential oils used in the food and beverage, or the fragrance industry are treated differently from pure essential oils. They usually undergo more processing. This often lessens their effect for physical or psychological healing. Ask if this is the source of the essential oils you are buying. When you are fairly well satisfied that a vendor is offering a good product along with good customer service, you will probably be ready to buy. Take it slow. Don't buy very much on your first order. That way you can make sure this is a company you want to do business with. Whether you buy your essential oils online or at a local aromatherapy store, you will need to exercise good judgment in making your purchases. The most important things are to get a good quality product and to deal with a company that gives good customer service. Comments |
