ARE MY OILS SAFE?

A LOT of people these days are all about essential oils. Which is AWESOME. However, so many people don't understand that there are many, MANY different kind of essential oils out there and they are all classified under different "grades". Please make sure you do your homework when buying essential oils because they aren't all the same, and some of them are just no bueno. 

I'm going to take advantage of this blog post today by explaining the differences between each kind of essential oil grade. Hopefully this helps when you go to purchase your oils!

PERFUME GRADE -

1. This grade is the kind you will find at grocery stores, etc..

2. This grade is STRICTLY made for its scent qualities and that is IT. If you're looking for a nice perfume to use very lightly on your skin, then this will do just fine for you.

3. You will see that this grade of oil is MUCH cheaper. This is because it has been distilled at a HIGH temperature (all benefits from the oil is now lost), fillers have been added to make large batches (which mean chemicals have also been added), and it is NOT organic or safe to ingest.

4. You do not want to much of this oil on your skin, diffuse, and definitely DO NOT put in food or water.

5.  FOR EVERY KILOGRAM OF PURE ESSENTIAL OIL THAT IS PRODUCED, AN ESTIMATED 10 TO 100 KILOGRAMS OF SYNTHETIC OIL ARE CREATED

FOOD GRADE -

1. This grade is usually safe to ingest and may be organic

2. This grade may have been distilled and processed at a HIGH temperature which means it has lost some of its neutral therapeutic benefits.

- Think of eating a RAW green bell pepper. This raw green bell pepper has so many nutritional benefits and loaded with enzymes and other things that are great for the body. If you were to cook the bell pepper at a high temperature, while its still delicious and good to eat, your body is missing out on some of those RAW key nutrients. Same goes with oils, if you are heating oils at a high temperature, the oil will lose some of its natural therapeutic benefits that the body would have taken full advantage of.

THERAPEUTIC GRADE -

1. This grade is distilled at a low pressure to ensure that the beneficial plant compounds in EACH batch remain safe and noncompromised. 

2. This grade is never altered, no fillers ever added, NEVER any chemicals

3. This grade is safe to ingest and to be used on all humans at any age

4. Young Living prides themselves knowing that they only give their customers the best therapeutic grade essential oils possible.

Again if you are looking to purchase oils, please make sure you know which grade that oil is and make sure you are buying something that is SAFE for you and your family! Young living has 20+ years of experience in producing therapeutic grade oils and we stand behind them firmly.

We cannot attest to other brands whether they are 100% pure or not. Remember, if the oil is adulterated at all it will not provide the same results as discussed and very possibly can cause harm.
