Essential oils are an indispensable part of aromatherapy. They are oil extracts from different parts of plants. They have a strong odor. When buying them, it is necessary to know about the quality of these oils and a few details need to be considered before making the purchase.

It is always advisable to buy essential oils from reputed companies. Their prices may be a bit higher than those of the lesser-known companies, but the reputation of the company and the quality assurance is worth the extra money. If the origin of the oil is known, along with the botanical name, this helps to prove the oil is authentic and not a cheap knock-off. It is always better to initially buy a smaller quantity, from a new company, to test the quality of the oil.

There are many sources of essential oils available. The decision as to where to buy them from should depend on the personal budget and the quality available in that budget. Essential oils are available online, as well. Dealers offer competitive prices and prompt delivery. In the case of jasmine oil being sold at the price of lavender oil, even though it is more expensive, the quality can be questioned. Since both are quoted the same price, there might be a shortfall in the quality. Research can help the buyer to find the right supplier for essential oil.

Synthetic essential oils, such as lilac in the list of products, can be misleading. The supplier may be dealing with synthetic products and trying to sell them to the ignorant first-timer, as an essential oil. To check the purity of the product, a small quantity should be taken on a piece of paper. If it leaves an oily residue, it is edged with vegetable oil. This is the sign of impurity. Necessary research on the quality of the essential oil should be done to ensure good value for the money spent. Many genuine suppliers do a quality check and guarantee the quality of oils.
