How to Find High Quality Essential Oils

December 08, 2020

If you’re an essential oil lover, then you know that there are tons of different terms used to describe the quality of oils. What you might not know, is that some of these regularly used terms don’t actually carry any significance. A lot of essential oil brands use these terms regularly in an effort to make their oils seem better or higher in quality, but the truth is these terms don’t mean anything at all.

Let’s dig deeper into two of these terms that we see misused and misrepresented on a regular basis: “Therapeutic grade” and “Food grade.”

Guide to Essential Oil Shelf Life

May 21, 2020

Essential oils do not expire. They do not grow mold. They also do not grow mildew or even yeast. But that does not mean they will last forever. Why not? Oxidation—a chemical reaction where electrons are lost that can change the constituents of the oil. Oxygen, heat and light all contribute to oxidation.

Sunscreen 411

July 02, 2018

Radiation energy emitted from the sun is a form of ultraviolet rays (UV). There are two types of rays that reach earth, UVA and UVB.

UVA rays (the dominant tanning ray) have a longer wavelength and can penetrate two layers beneath the skin into the dermis. UVA have long been known to play a major part in skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging). Recent studies, however, show that UVA damages skin cells in the basal layer of the epidermis, where most skin cancers occur.

UVB, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, tends to damage the skin's more superficial epidermal layers. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and a contributory role in tanning and photoaging.

Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. Lack of water can lead to dehydration—a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.

Carrier Oils

April 26, 2018

Carrier oils are fatty vegetable oils used to dilute the essential oil, so it can be applied easily and safely to the skin. While they dilute the essential oil, carrier oils do not eliminate their positive properties.  In fact, they can even enhance the effect of the essential oils and alter the absorption rate.

Gemstones: Nature's Gift

March 27, 2018

Gemstones represent energy in its most solid form. Each gemstone has its own energetic characteristics that allow us to distinguish one from another as do each of us have our own electro-magnetic fields that are in turn impacted by the energetic quality of each gemstone. When selecting gemstones, the most important guideline is that the stone is appealing to you. The body has a way of being attracted to a gemstone that is appropriate for use at the time, whether you consciously realize it or not.
