How to Buy Essential Oils

When you buy the aromatherapy products, your shopping will be much better easier if you follow these simple tips.

• Buy essential oils from companies with established reputations.
• Be on the lookout for synthetic essential oils such as carnation, lilac, strawberry, rain, or cucumber. These scents are always synthetic, so if you see them, chances are that all the oils in that line may be synthetics.
• Check for purity. Put a drop of essential oil on a piece of paper. It should quickly evaporate, leaving no oily mark (an oily mark indicates it's cut with vegetable oil).
• Check for quality. Sniff out full, round scents. A little should go a long way.
• Test the quality of any new company you try by purchasing only a small amount of essential oil the first time.
