Almost every company has an essential oils line now.  BUT not all essential oils are created equally, no matter what the bottle says.  When you decide to start using essential oils, it is so important to make sure you are choosing truly pure oils.  You are defeating the purpose of using essential oils when you don't know the company you are using.  We use essential oils to have a better life and eliminate all of the toxic chemicals we use on a daily basis. When we use these cheap, diluted oils, we may as well continue to use all the toxic products we were using before.   

 

But don't worry!  I'm here to help and make it super easy for you to weave through all the nasty and toxic essential oils on the market.

All oils in the world fall into one of 4 categories: Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and Grade D.

​

Grade A: Therapeutic...

Made from organically grown plants and distilled at low temperatures.

​

Grade B: Food grade... 

May contain synthetics, pesticides, fertilizers, chemical extenders, or carrier oils.

​

Grade C: Perfume...

Often contain adulterating chemicals.  They usually use solvents, for example hexant, to gain a higher yield of oil per harvest.  Solvents can be cancerous, and are in many store bought oils.  They may also be diluted 80-95% with alcohol.

​

Grade D: “Floral water”...

Aromatic only and is usually a byproduct of Grade A distillation.  After all the oil is pulled out, the leftover trash water is sold to companies which will fill 5% of the bottle with this leftover trash water, fill the rest with carriers and label them “pure”.
