The Therapeutic Essential Oil Question…….Again !!!






This question comes up repeatedly from consumers.

“May I know whether the essential oils available for purchase on your website are of therapeutic grade or aromatherapy grade?”

And my reply……

In the essential oils industry there are no such grades as “therapeutic” or “aromatherapy.” These are terms are invented up by advertising people or dishonest traders. This terminology is not  scientifically supported. Nor does it have any support in the commercial essential oil field.
As a buyer, you should ask suppliers about the quality of their essential oils. The important things to know are the methods of extraction (some methods can contaminate the essential oil), safety information, and the laboratory Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with Lot #. In Malaysia, some suppliers will try to pass the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) off as a CoA, and you should never accept this.

At Indochine Natural we only import essential oils that have a clearly marked Lot # on the bottle. They must have a  CoA.  We also require an analysis of the allergens. We are the only company in Malaysia that demands these standards. Anyone buying our essential can have this certification on request.
