Quality Assurance: Selecting the Best Essential Oils in Canada

Some things to look out for when shopping for essential oils in Canada, include selecting only products explicitly stating that both the essential oil and the carrier (if applicable) are organic and 100% pure. This is key because many essential oils are synthetic and many are also sprayed with pesticides, so they may contain pesticide residues (hydrocarbons and other chemicals). You should also ensure no additional ingredients or additives, such as low-quality filler oils, have been added and that the manufacturer uses only plants that follow exemplary farming practices: indigenous sourcing, as well as growing and harvesting at the appropriate times. A quality essential oil should also come in a dark-coloured glass bottle to protect the oil(s) from the effects of light exposure and extend its shelf-life. This is especially important when buying larger value sizes that you may not go through as quickly.
