What is an essential oil?
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Some important information that you should know about an essential oil is the botanical name, chemotype (if applicable), origin of plant (this can drastically change the chemical constituents percentages) and extraction method. It is also important to note if the essential oil has been diluted with anything (EVEN if it is a natural dilution).
Are Prime Natural’s essential oils organic?
All of Prime Natural’s botanical oils are 100% pure, free from any additives or adulterants. We work very close with our suppliers to provide oils that come from organically grown plants. However, Prime Natural is not a certified organic reseller through the USDA.
Can essential oils be ingested?
All of our Essential Oils are 100% pure free from any chemicals or pesticides. However, we do not recommend the ingestion of any essential oils. They are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists.
Why should certain oils be avoided during pregnancy?
Certain essentials oils are considered too powerful for use during pregnancy as they may stimulate the production of certain hormones and can encourage bleeding. Please consult your physician or a reputable aromatherapist before using any essential oils while pregnant.
How should I store my essential oils once I have purchased them?
It is recommended that oils be stored around 68 degrees Fahrenheit (room temperature) and out of direct sunlight. Refrigeration after opening is best.
What is the shelf life of essential oils?
The shelf life of an essential oil depends on how you store your essential oils and specifically what essential oil you have. Citrus oils have a shorter shelf life of about 1-2 years where as other essential oils can be good for many, many years. Prime Natural guarantees all of our essential oils to last for one year if stored correctly.
What is a carrier oil?
A carrier oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fatty portion of a plant, usually the seed, nut or kernels. Carrier oils on their own have different therapeutic properties. The choice of the carrier oil will depend on what therapeutic benefit you are looking for. A carrier oil is used to dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin. A carrier oil will also help “carry” the essential oil into the skin.
How should I store my carrier oils once I have purchased them?
It is recommended that carrier oils be refrigerated after opening.
