What to Look for When Purchasing Essential Oils

When purchasing essential oils, it is important to choose a reputable supplier that provides clear and transparent information about the oils they sell. Quality can vary between suppliers, so consider the following when making your choice:

• Check the Botanical Name: The botanical (Latin) name of the plant should be clearly stated on the product. This helps to identify the exact plant species and distinguish it from other plants that may have similar common names.
• Check the Country of Origin: A reputable supplier should be able to provide information about where the plant material was grown or sourced. The country of origin can be relevant to the characteristics and quality of an essential oil.
• Check the Plant Part Used: The part of the plant from which the essential oil has been extracted should be clearly identified, such as the leaf, flower, peel, root or wood. Different parts of the same plant can produce oils with different chemical compositions and properties.
• Look for Batch or Lot Information: Essential oils should have a batch or lot number where possible. This allows the product to be traced back to its production and supports quality control and traceability.
• Ask About Testing and Quality Control: Look for suppliers who are transparent about their quality-control procedures. Where appropriate, information about analytical testing, such as GC/MS analysis, may be available. This can provide useful information about the chemical composition of an essential oil and help identify potential adulteration or contamination.
• Check the Labelling: Product labels should provide clear and appropriate information about the essential oil, including its botanical name and relevant safety precautions. Depending on the intended use and market, additional information such as dilution guidance and allergen information may also be provided.
• Consider the Packaging and Storage: Essential oils should generally be supplied in suitable, well-sealed dark glass bottles to help protect them from light. They should also be stored appropriately, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight, to help maintain their quality.
• Be Cautious of Marketing Claims: Terms such as “pure,” “natural,” “therapeutic grade” or “100% pure” should not, on their own, be taken as a guarantee of quality. Instead, consider whether the supplier provides meaningful information about the oil’s botanical identity, sourcing, production, testing and quality-control processes.

Ultimately, choosing a supplier that is transparent about the origin, production and testing of its essential oils can help you make a more informed purchasing decision.
