The choice of Essential Oil quality   by Vladimir

One of the most difficult aspects of Aromatherapy for me – this selection of high quality essential Oils. To begin with, only that this oil should be used and it does not matter whether you are going to make cosmetics, scented room or taken orally (here, of course, demands the highest).

Natural Essential Oil has a high penetrating power. Thus it contributes to the penetration into the body of related components. It is therefore important that all components of the funds were natural.

The choice of Essential Oils – it’s not an easy thing.

First, I suggest reading online reviews and, thus, to weed out the most obvious low-quality products. For example, everything that is sold in our pharmacies (excluding oil Styx) at a price of 70 – 150 rubles. 10 ml. Especially in the case when all the flavors are absolutely identical.

The first and most important indicator of the quality of essential oil – is its price. You have not yet opened a bottle, do not spend money, so keep in mind that this is the case when the miser pays twice. Retail prices of Essential Oils In the stores, of course, must be higher than, for example, when buying online. By the way, natural essential oils not produced in Russia (at least that was the situation until recently). What is sold in the domestic online stores, it’s just purchased abroad raw materials which we have poured into bottle. What is the seller must inform.

The second factor, which influences the selection of essential oils – the ratio of prices for certain types of essential oils from the same manufacturer. Surcharge may all be different. It depends on the eminent firm of cost, logistics, etc. But the initial price of raw materials is approximately the same at all. For example, essential oils of ylang ylang, geranium, strike should be once every 3 – 4 times more expensive than orange or tea tree. Sandalwood oil or essential oil of chamomile will cost you another 5 times more expensive.

The third factor influencing the choice of high quality essential oil – it’s registration of the product. The label must contain the Latin name of plants, as well as label 100% pure, 100% artifisches, 100% essentail oil. Bottle itself should be made of a dark dripping as natural essential oils are very light sensitive and can react with plastics. Usually it is a bottle of 10 ml and equipped with a dispenser.

It is also good if your selected product will be the information: Country of the firm manufacturer, supplier company, shelf life, storage conditions.

With the price and design of natural essential oils understood, now a little on the evaluation of the product itself, ie what’s inside. In this regard, the best assistant – it’s your own nose. If you bought an of the plant that you are familiar (lemon, tea tree, orange or rose), listen to him. Try to determine whether it artificial, alcoholic impregnation. Perhaps even better if you start your acquaintance with a particular brand is a selection of the (fragrance, which you well know).

Natural flavor is always slightly changing. At first light vaporize the high notes, the scent goes from fresh and sharp for a more tart, and then it manifested severe balsamic, notes. In contrast, the same natural of synthetic smell will simply fade. Of course, that for the first time such nuances are revealed with great difficulty. So you can try a test with three sheets of paper. Drop on each of them one and the same oil with a delay of 30 minutes. Each leaf should smell differently.

Another test with a piece of paper – an assessment of the quality of by means of the spot. It is believed that the Natural Oils to evaporate completely, leaving no stains on the paper. Whereas artificial flavors, divorced in fatty oil, always leave a stain. But the test still does not give us 100% guarantee, as even natural products sometimes leave a slight oily stain. In particular, myrrh, frankincense, sandalwood, etc.

Remember that it is better to get 1 – 2 bottles with natural and high-quality products than to buy cheap synthetics. The choice of should, first and foremost be based on those goals that you pursue. For example, a great benefit to our hair can be quite affordable for the money esters. After all, their price depends not only on, and sometimes not so much the effect, how much of the cost of production. Hair accessories.
