Is it safe to buy essential oils on Amazon?
Don’t purchase your essential oils from Amazon. Fake and adulterated essential oils are very common, and Amazon sellers do not supply the documentation we need to work with essential oils safely. Some bottles cost $5, others $50, for what looked like the same thing. Buy essential oils from reputable retailers offering transparent sourcing, third-party testing, and clear labeling to ensure safety and quality for family use.
How to tell if essential oils are 100% pure?
To check the purity of an essential oil, place one drop of the oil on a piece of paper and wait 30-45 minutes. If you notice an oil or grease ring after the product dries, it could indicate an impure product. To check, you just have to pour a drop of the oil on a piece of paper, if the oil does not leave a mark and evaporates quickly, then it is a pure essential oil. If the mark remains on the paper, it shows that the essential oil has been mixed with vegetable oil.Look for a trusted producer that makes pure oils without anything added. You’re more likely to have an allergic reaction to oils that have other ingredients. Not all extras are bad. Some added vegetable oil may be normal for certain more expensive essential oils.
