There are so many essential oils on the market it can be overwhelming, especially since they are not all created equally. When looking for a quality oil, there are a few things to look for.
Dark, Glass Bottle - Light can damage oils, and EO’s compounds don’t mix well with plastic, therefore a good quality oil will come tightly sealed in a dark (usually amber) glass bottle with an orifice reducer top.
Quantity - Typically quality EO’s will come in quantities less then 4oz, but usually half this size (15 mL or less).
Does the Label and/or Website Include...
The common AND Latin name of the plant used to make the oil
The plant parts used
How it was extracted (distillation or expression)
Does the label state that it’s 100% pure EO (not essence oil)
The country or origin of the oil
If you don’t see this, sometimes they’ll include a lot # that you can verify
