Are those essential oil 100% pure and high quality? are they pure enough for perfume making?

I have been happy with the quality. The only way to tell the chemical content and purity is to obtain a GC/MS report from the manufacturer. I don't have experience in making perfume but I use these oils in aromatherapy and have had good results with them.

The company's www and the bottle both say this EO is 100% pure. As for the quality, I think it smells pretty much as black pepper should. I use it almost exclusively for making cologne.

I bought this product and use it for scrubs and add it to other oils for lotions but the Aftelier Chef's Essences Black Pepper is incredible. Also it's on sale now at Williams Sonoma.

They are 100% pure, therapeutic grade. I'm not a perfume maker, but I would think that due to the "warmth" of this oil, it would not be necessarily one you would want to use in making perfume. But as I said, I'm not a perfume maker - I basically use the oils for salves, lotions, and in place of medications. However, I know I mix some of the other oils in my salves for scent - just not black pepper.

Most essential oils should never be used on the skin undiluted. To use as a perfume, they should be combined with "carrier oils" (like almond oil), waxes, butters, alcohols, or other diluting media. Because they're so concentrated, if you use them without diluting, they can irritate the skin (with some exceptions, like tea trea and some others). But it's very easy to mix this oil with a medium and use it as perfume - the internet is full of recipes. I put this in homemade lotion, and it smells great.

It is as good as it gets. I want to let you know that the "pure Essential" is a registered trade mark, that cannot be used by most manufacturers and the ones using that label charge you an arm and a leg for a product that is as good as the brand NOW, that I have been using for years with excellent results as an aroma and in small doses to flavour foods!! It has also helped to keep my wallet full...

No this is not 100% pure and the scent is more tolerable and not so strong - I have a bottle of the pure 100% and that's how I realized the difference.

The therapeutic grade claim is a scam. The best quality you can get and you should look for is 100% pure and organic. You can't really tell by looking at labels so you need to find trusted brands. Now Foods offers great quality essential oils.

Not that I see. I have been using them consistently for air fresheners and never had any kind of issue (essential oils and water, etc.)

the bottles say 100% pure oil, having the word organic on the bottle does not mean a whole lot, but only words to make you buy it...

I will order this product again because it was 100% pure. It can be refined but I didn't take time to do that. I used it as is. I gave some away and it was the best Shea butter I have ever bought and it had no smell (I had for a couple if months). It is truly pure!

Here is a response to the same question asked on the Now Foods facebook page...'Our Essential Oils are 100% Pure, Undiluted and of the highest quality. Often called "therapeutic grade" by other companies, they are appropriate for use in all aromatherapy applications. A lot of people ask if our essential oils are edible. The answer for most is "Yes, but..." Essential oils are typically labeled For External Use Only as a warning to use them very cautiously, even such pure edible oils as those from lemon or orange peels. Essential oils are very strong and even non-toxic ones may be irritating or uncomfortable if not used carefully and sparingly.'

I'm sorry. I only use it to disperse in the air, as a fragrance. So I don't know. I only have ever used essential oils for room fragrance purposes.

It says "100% Pure Essential Oil" on the bottle, but there's no way to know for sure. I will say however, that I really enjoy this Clary Sage from this particular manufacturer. It's the best I've found in the price range I can afford.

Some yes, some no. It's very important to research all essential oils to know which are safe for topical use. It has nothing to do with the company, it's the make-up of the plants that determine the safety.In general, Eden's Garden products are very high quality. I've purchased oils from dozens of companies over the years and They are my favorite.

Yes! Young Living oils are amazing - I use them personally and in my therapy practice. You do NOT want to use a synthetic grade oil - they may smell good but have no therapeutic properties. In fact, you may be inhaling very concentrated chemicals. Young Livings oils are 100% therapeutic grade. Don't be fooled, as long as an oil contains 5% true oil - it can be called therapeutic grade. You can order them from me. Go to youngliving.com and enter distributor #1755990.

It is pure! I've used a few different Dr. Adorable oils in my cosmetic products with great success. This one in particular is great as a carrier oil for perfumes, serums and massage oils. It's odorless too, which is nice!

Yes! They are wonderful! High quality. I have really sensitive skin and they work well. A few drops go a long way.

I think it is 100% pure! However, I truly have nothing to go on, but I did a ton of research and found the company I bought from is a great supplier. As one of the other posters said maybe ask the seller and see what else you can dig up.
