Where do they come from?
A global network of artisans provides the raw materials—sourcing—used for essential oil production. Where a plant is grown has a major impact on its constitution, which in turn determines its potency. Using local artisans who have grown the source plants for generations ensures that the plants are not only properly cared for, but also grown in an environment that maximizes the essential oils’ potential.
What about quality and testing?
Every batch of the essential oils I use and recommend is subjected to requirements set forth in a strict quality control protocol. This protocol ensures potency, purity, and consistency batch to batch. The testing begins immediately after distillation with each oil being reviewed for its chemical composition. A second round of testing is carried out at a production facility to ensure that what was distilled and tested is the same essential oil as was received. A third review of the chemistry of the oil is conducted in a three-phase procedure as the oils are packaged into the bottles we use as consumers. Each of these tests confirms that the essential oil is free of contaminants and unexpected alterations during production. By the time you get your hands on the oil, it has been subjected to the following tests:
-
Organoleptic testing
-
Microbial testing
-
Gas chromatography
-
Mass spectrometry
-
Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
-
Chirality testing
-
Isotopic analysis
-
Heavy metal testing
