How to buy essential oils? These three tricks work great!
Because of the complex extraction process and the consumption of many raw materials, essential oils are mostly expensive. For hundreds or thousands of clearly priced products, female friends may wish to learn more about the purchase and preparation of essential oils in advance, so as not to spend money to buy home "shelved products" that make them feel at a loss, which will only increase depression.
1. Look at the essential oil packaging
First of all, essential oils are very expensive because of their unique aroma, but the aroma of essential oils is volatile. If you see dust on the bottle caps of essential oils, try not to buy this essential oil, because it is likely to be a product that is about to expire. Secondly, dark glass bottles should be used for essential oils, because dark glass bottles can prevent strong light from penetrating the glass bottle and causing the essential oils to chemically react. Such as plastic bottles, transparent glass bottles, rubber bottles, etc., will cause the properties of essential oils to change, and should be rejected when purchasing.
2. Look at the price of essential oils
Because essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants, the difficulty of extraction and the amount of raw materials consumed determine the value of essential oils. For example, it takes about 5 tons of roses to extract about 1 kilogram of rose essential oil, so pure rose essential oil is very expensive; and tea tree essential oil is rich in extraction resources, so the price is relatively cheap. In addition, the price of essential oils varies depending on factors such as how the raw materials are harvested, when they are harvested, and where they are harvested.
Therefore, if you want to buy genuine essential oils, you must do background homework on essential oils before purchasing. It is worth reminding that regular essential oil manufacturers will provide the plant parts from which the essential oil is extracted on the essential oil label, as well as the exact dose when using the bottle of essential oil, which can also become one of the conditions for you to decide whether to buy the essential oil.
3. Smell the scent of essential oils
If you want to buy a bottle of genuine essential oil, you must smell the smell of the essential oil. Otherwise, how will you know if you are allergic to this kind of smell, or if you like the smell of this kind of essential oil? Of course, when smelling essential oils, don't put Meizi close to the bottle mouth of the essential oil, so as to avoid the oil on the nose from contaminating the bottle mouth and contaminating the essential oil in the bottle. It is best to keep the distance within 10 cm when smelling.
