WHY ARE SOME ESSENTIAL OILS SO EXPENSIVE?

why are some oils so expensive?

I used to wonder why some essential oils were so cheap, and then, another of the same oil from a different company were so expensive. Why such a range in price? Surely there wasn't much of a difference? Or so I thought! That was, until I looked into what makes a high quality essential oil. Here are some of the reasons you will find for price difference...
​
NUMBER ONE REASON: The quality. Some essential oils have fillers, or are made from a synthetic, or are sourced from non-ethical sources, which means the oil can be  produced very cheaply.


Problem is, you just don't know what's in it! It ends up being not even the same product at all, so you just can't compare. Think of any "replica" product. A Prada rip-off, or fake Rolex... it just doesn't compare to the real thing! The replica product is always significantly cheaper, as are these fillers and synthetics, but they can also be dangerous to your health. This is why it's important to chase a high quality oil product- especially if applying to your skin, adding to a bath tub, or inhaling. You want only the pure, natural goodness of the original plant distilled in its purest form possible. No chemical additives. No exceptions.

NUMBER TWO: Supply & Extraction. Some essential oils can be produced more easily than others. Citrus oils are an example. You will find they are some of the cheapest essential oils. Some oils require more of the original botanical product to produce the oil or essence. Rose Oil has to have almost ten kilograms of rose petals distilled to make one bottle of 5mls of oil! This makes it our most expensive oil at just under $400. The scent from the pure essential oil versus the fake "rose" smelling candles you will find in a store just doesn't compare. Try smelling any of our pure essential oils and you will see what I mean. The aroma from just one drop is so strong. 

Long story short, you get what you pay for. Our essential oils have been overseen from the very beginning: From the seeds planted on the farm, distilled from sustainably sourced botanicals, quality tested in independent labs, with the final pristine product sealed in the bottle. This way you know you are getting the best quality essential oil available. We believe in keeping the quality of our essential oils to the highest standards, especially as you may be using them for topical use in massage, or even culinary use with our culinary oils collection. Good enough to eat!
