Young Living OilsDo Your Essential Oils Make The Grade?

You may be buying lavender essential oil to treat dermatitis or tea tree oil to help with blemishes, but are you sure you are getting the real deal?  Up to 90 percent of products sold as pure plant oils actually contain synthetic ingredients. To be sure you are using unadulterated essential oils and essential oil products (and therefore getting the full healing properties), take a closer look:

1. Do a water check. Add a drop of essential oil to a tablespoon
of water. If a milky slick appears, the oil is likely synthetic and mixed with other ingredients.

2. Take a blot test. Place a drop of oil on paper. If the paper has
a grease stain after two hours, the essential oil probably has been diluted with vegetable oils. This test is for oil singles. Blends usually have a carrier oil which will leave an oil stain. Oil singles, such as lavender of tea tree oil should not have vegetable oil in the bottle.

3. Read the Label. You are NOT looking for the word PURE” or “100% PURE.” Pure just means the oil was not diluted with a lesser quality essential oil.

For example: lavender oil is often cut with lavendin, which has very little therapeutic quality. “Pure” does not mean it has no chemicals added to it.

In the U.S., all you need is 5% of essential oil in the bottle in order to label it “100% pure.” You are looking for the words “GRADE A” or “GENUINE & AUTHENTIC”
