FAQs

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural aroma and beneficial properties of the plant. They are commonly used for aromatherapy, skincare, massage, and wellness purposes.

How are essential oils extracted?

We use two main extraction methods: steam distillation and cold pressing. Steam distillation is typically used for most plant oils, while cold pressing is used for citrus oils. Both methods preserve the integrity and potency of the oils.

Are your essential oils pure and natural?

Yes! All of our essential oils are 100% pure, natural, and free from artificial additives or fragrances. We source our oils from reputable suppliers and ensure they are unadulterated, preserving their therapeutic benefits.

How should I store my essential oils?

Essential oils should be stored in a cool, dark place in tightly sealed glass bottles. Avoid exposure to sunlight and heat, as these can degrade the quality of the oils over time. Keep the bottles upright to prevent leaks.

Are your essential oils safe for use on the skin?

Essential oils are safe for skin use when properly diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut or jojoba oil. Always perform a patch test before applying any oil to larger areas of skin to ensure there are no allergic reactions or sensitivities.

Can I ingest essential oils?

We recommend not ingesting essential oils unless under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Some oils can be toxic if consumed in large quantities, so it’s important to consult a qualified professional if considering internal use.

How do I use essential oils for aromatherapy?

To use essential oils for aromatherapy, you can diffuse them into the air using a diffuser, add a few drops to a bowl of steaming water for inhalation, or use them in a relaxing bath. They can also be used in massage oils for topical application.

Do you offer essential oils in different sizes?

Yes, we offer a range of bottle sizes to suit different needs, including small 10ml bottles for personal use and larger quantities for businesses or those requiring bulk quantities. Check our product listings for specific sizes.

Are your essential oils safe for use with children orpets?

Some essential oils are safe for children and pets when used in moderation and appropriately diluted, while others can be harmful. Always check specific safety guidelines for each oil and consult a professional if you're unsure.

Can I use your essential oils in my skincare routine?

Yes! Many essential oils, such as tea tree, frankincense, and rose are commonly used in skincare products due to their antibacterial, anti-aging, and healing properties. Be sure to dilute oils properly and avoid direct application of undiluted essential oils on sensitive skin.

How do I know the quality of your essential oils?

We conduct rigorous testing to ensure the quality and purity of our oils. Each batch is GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) tested for authenticity, ensuring the oil is pure and free of contaminants or synthetic additives.

Do you offer custom essential oil blends?

Yes, we offer custom essential oil blends tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a signature scent or a unique therapeutic blend, our team is happy to create a custom formulation for your brand.

Are your essential oils organic?

Many of our essential oils are USDA Organic or EcoCert Certified, ensuring they are grown and processed without synthetic pesticides or chemicals. Check the product descriptions for specific certification details.

How can I buy essential oils in bulk?
