Why Source Matters for Quality Essential Oils

Essential oils act like concentrated plant pharmacies. If the crop is sprayed with pesticides or stored in sunlight, purity tanks and potency nosedives. We demand:

• Single-origin fields—no mystery blends.
• GC/MS testing to verify chemotypes and detect adulterants.
• Fair-trade & ethical harvest that pays farmers living wages.
  
  The Family- and women-owned suppliers we work with in the U.S. share those values. Their small-batch distillation keeps active compounds intact and aroma profiles bright.

How We Keep Our Quality Essential Oils Skin-Safe

1. Low-heat infusion—we swirl oils into butter bases below 95 °F to preserve volatile actives.
2. Photoprotective jars—amber glass blocks UV degradation.
3. Patch skin test panels—patch testing confirms zero sensitization at formula percentage.
4. All-natural pledge—no synthetic aroma boosters, ever.
   
   

Result? Legitimate aromatherapy benefits without the irritation spiral.

Why “Natural Fragrance” Isn’t Enough

Brands toss “natural fragrance” on labels without disclosing sourcing, leaving you guessing. We openly share all the sourcing information we have for every ingredient and source we use, so you can see the info yourself. Openness builds trust—and trust smells sweeter than any mystery blend.
