About our Essential Oils
Our Essential Oils are 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade natural plant oils, cold-pressed or steam-distilled from the first distillations. They are wholly suitable for aromatherapy, cosmetics, cooking and body application. They are free of added water, alcohol, carriers and other diluents. Most are USDA & OTCO Certified Organic.
We never use essential oils extracted with chemical solvents, absolutes or CO2 distillations. No chemical solvents are added during distillation, and nothing is added to the oil after distillation.
If you are sensitive to artificial fragrances, you may want to try our 100% pure essential oils. Some individuals may also be sensitive to essential oils.
Note: Essential oils do not have the same fragrance throw as synthetic candle fragrances because they are pure and natural, and are not formulated for candle making. They also tend to lose their scent faster.
Women who are pregnant should consult a doctor before using essential oil aromatherapy.
