US Organic 100% Pure Lavender Essential Oil
This Lavender essential oil seems very pure in aroma, consistency and color. It does have the botanical name Lavandula Angustifolia on the bottle and the USDA Certified Organic seal. If you want to know why I believe this to be 100% Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) essential oil then read on. I am not an expert and I do not have expensive lab equipment to test the ingredients in the essential oils with but I have years of experience with essential oils. I want people who buy them to be safe, so I make sure I check everything I can before I give a final rating. To me it is either a 100% essential oil or it's not. The three things I check when I get an essential oil is first is the aroma, second is the consistency of the essential oil and third is the color. I do not rate an essential oil on if I like or don't like the aroma. I do rate an oils aroma on the way it should be. With all natural essential oils, the aroma can be slightly different from batch to batch, even from the same distiller, depending on when it was harvested or many other factors but you should still know that it is Lavender essential oil. If I write a review on an essential oil, it will be an essential oil that I have years of experience with, I read about that essential oil and know what to expect, and I have bought this essential oil with the same botanical name from more than the source I am reviewing. I have bought Lavender essential oil (Lavandula Angustifolia) in the past from many companies but now I have seven others besides this one. I did check to see if there was a carrier oil in it and I did not find any oily substance in this Lavender essential oil. Essential oils are not really oil or a fat and to test for an oil or a fat, I used a very easy method of evaporation. With this test, you need to know that some essential oils evaporate within minutes and there are some essential oils that can take days to evaporate and with citrus oils that are cold pressed, you need to know that sometimes they can fail this test and can leave small amounts of non-volatile compounds that can leave a mark but should never leave an oily mark. Also, this “test” is only valid on essential oils that have been diluted with an oily compound. This does not mean that the essential oil if it passes this test is pure because many essential oil companies cut their oils with alcohol, or other solvents that will leave no oily residue behind. Please learn everything you can about the essential oil you are going to buy and if you can buy up to four of the same botanical name essential oil from different companies. Remember there are many companies that dilute their essential oils with either carrier oils or solvents and alcohols and they are hoping you do not know enough about that essential oil. I depend on reviews myself when I order products and will only write an honest review with the knowledge that I have about a product. I receive this product for a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.
