What is the Best Essential Oil Brand?
I've been working with essential oils for over twenty years now. It's understandable why I'm often asked what the best essential oil brand or company is considering the number of not-so-good and bogus essential oil companies in existence.
Although there are indeed some problematic essential oil companies that you need to watch out for, be assured that there are many wonderful, reputable essential oil brands available that are owned/managed by ethical and knowledgeable essential oil professionals.
There is no one company that stands out as being the best essential oil brand much like there isn't one single company that stands out as being the best automotive company, etc. (This is a loose example, but please bear with me here.) I know that may not be what you're hoping to hear as it would be so much easier to just be told where to shop to get the best essential oils. But that wouldn't be fair to you in the long run. So many factors come into play, and a number of them are subjective and are based on your own personal needs. The criteria that is the most important to me may not be as important to you and vice versa.
When you begin shopping for essential oils, you'll begin to notice and learn about the pros and cons of each brand that you purchase. You will likely learn that you prefer certain essential oils from one company and other oils from another. Over time, you will discover the brand(s) that you personally consider the best for your own needs. And that's how it should be. Your needs and what is important to you when selecting essential oils and a brand is unique to you.
