Anyway, where is the herbal essential oil counter?

If you look for the criteria for judging the quality of essential oil from the Internet or books, one of them must be to look at the label to judge the origin, extraction method, main chemical components, varieties marked in Latin and so on.

But the label is only a reference, and the quality needs your own judgment. For example, individual brands not only labeled all the above information, but also labeled spectral analysis, but the quality of my actual experience was not enough.

Each essential oil has its own characteristics, and some have some identification methods, but it needs professional aromatherapy knowledge.

For example, if there is a bad manufacturer of happy sage, it will be replaced by sagebrush. You can put it on perfume paper and smell it after 24 hours. Happy sage is not volatile, because it contains macromolecular diol, and it still has a taste after one day, but sagebrush does not contain this ingredient. For another example, the main component of lemon and sweet orange is small molecular monoene, which volatilizes quickly. If the volatilization is slow, you will question its quality. Pay attention to the difference between lemon and lime. The more sour lemons taste, the better. Lime is a little sweet.

In fact, the best way to identify it is how your body feels. Beginners are strongly advised to use the highest quality oil you can buy first (recommended by international brands such as Profant German Crescent Tisserland), and oranges must be organic. After your sense of smell and body remember what high-quality oil looks like, try to choose other brands or channels, and you will have the ability to distinguish. This is an expensive process.

I now use oil mainly in three ways:

1.Profang uses foreign brands most, relying on purchasing.

For example, AZ NG is not recommended. It can be used for aromatherapy and making soap.

2. If you have a certain ability to distinguish the quality of essential oil, and the quantity is large, you can find a reliable supplier of essential oil raw materials. Recommended channels: Alibaba Li Po and Park Jin International, no matter where you get the goods, you can try 3ML samples, but the samples are all in transparent bottles and need to be taken back in hidden bottles.

3. The most commonly used brand is Taiwan Province brand Aliz, the brand of Mr. Shen. Teacher Shen's family is the largest supplier of essential oil raw materials in Asia, with reliable quality. It only started to enter the mainland market last year. People who know are basically aromatherapy circles, and follow her to learn solar terms, meridians and aromatherapy. I have to buy three kinds of oils from her house, namely citrus: because they are squeezed from the peel, they must be organic and easy to oxidize, so try to buy fresh oils. One advantage of her oil is that it is all 5ML. Rare species: such as magnolia officinalis and geranium. Sesame oil: I have used four brands of sesame oil, but the teacher's variety is the best and the price is affordable, around 70 yuan 100 ml. Channel: You can search the official WeChat account yourself. There is a mall in the official WeChat account, but if her students buy it at a 30% discount, it will not be discounted or cheap.

4. If it is not far from Shanghai, there will be an international fragrance exhibition from April 12 to April 14, and you can go to Taobao. Relevant information can be searched for the most essential oil in the official WeChat account.

Finally, I attach a collection of some essential oil brands I have used. There are more than ten kinds, all of which are accumulated experience of silver.
