Essential Oil Quality, Standards, and Safety Part 2: The Regulations, Standards, Quality, and Purity of Our Aromatic Allies

Finding “Good Quality Essential Oils”

Finding high quality essential oils can be a complex process and confusing to the new oiler. This is because individuals have different preferences and beliefs about the “best oils.” Furthermore, what is deemed the most important aspects for selecting our aromatic allies varies between essential oils users, clinical aromatherapists, and practitioners.

Unfortunately, these differences of opinions have prevented many potential users from using these holistic healing tools. Polarizing this topic even more are the misleading headlines regarding the dangers of essential oils. These are often misconstrued from poor research methodology and isolated compounds.

These factors have resulted in many people missing out on the healing potential of these holistic tools. Furthermore, not obtaining pure quality essential oils can impact the safety and effectiveness of aromatherapy as a therapeutic tool.

For these reasons, I have started a series on what constitutes good quality essential oils, including highlighting their regulations and standards.

In Part I, we reviewed:

• The various factors related to how people choose their selected essential oils brands
• My intent to stay brand neutral to reach a wider audience about the science of essential oils, without distraction or biases
• How the essential oils used in research are based on active constituent percentages, with little information on quality or purity

Now, in part 2, I explore the standards and regulation of essential oils and how this impacts their quality and purity.

Topics covered include:

• The regulation of essential oils
• Essential oils standards
• Standardization vs. quality essential oils
• Essential oils vs. fragrances

In Part 3, we’ll discuss what characteristics I deem essential for finding quality essential oils and how I vet the ones I choose.

After reading the blog or watching the video, I’d love to hear from you on how you feel about essential oil quality and what your favorite oils are!

If we all join together to aim for high standards, better accessibility, environmental sustainability, safety, and education of essential oils, oilers can be a united powerful force of healing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn how to nurture your mind, body, heart, and soul.

Sending you many blessings. ❤
