Which of your oils are GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the FDA?

Just because the FDA calls something safe, doesn't mean it is. Like most things, essential oils are safe unless you misuse them.

Doterra essential oils are the best ones that I have found to use. The processing of therapuetic pure ungraded oils are the best on the market. The company is based on integrity and ethical foundation. I have used many different brands of oils and these are excellent. Go to their website and take a look, just google doterra international oils.

Hi Nikki . Well , although these oils are 100% pure and certainly there is nothing about them to harm you , they are also certainly not created as a food flavoring . They work as a fabulous ingredient in all of my home made skin and hair care products .

I really have no idea, but I can tell you it is some of the best oil I have ever used. That is good enough for me. I don't even know if the FDA approves of cooking oil.

GRAS status means - Generally Recognized As Safe. The ingredients are water and pure probiotics. It does not list what kind of probiotics or how many. The mouthwash has a light scent of spearmint which obviously is not listed in the ingredients. It foams just a tiny bit. One time I got confused with my water bottle and drank some of it and it tasted like stale water. I did not have any ill effects from drinking it.

I checked the box, there are lots of oils. To be on the safe side I'd go to nioxin.com and ask them

On the pkg. it says to go to natures-oil.com for safety & uses. I just know you don't need very much at all. I have not gone to that website yet.

Most essential oil companies/distributors carry disclaimers which state the oils are not intended for internal consumption (external use only). As such, they are are not regulated by the USDA. Truth is, the purest forms (used for medicinal purposes) of essential oils are not sold to the public. They are sold exclusively to pharmaceutical companies and the very rich. For example, the purest form of Lavender is Lavandula viridis. Young Living is the most popular essential oil distributor, however I recommend you google the owner "Gary Young" before you trust anything even remotely related to Young Living products. I hope this helps. Most essential oil companies/distributors carry disclaimers which state the oils are not intended for internal consumption (external use only).

this is fromthe Coromega website ( http://www.coromega.com/faq/). I believe you can submit more questions there... What can you tell me about the purity and safety of Coromega? I've heard that fish oil can contain mercury and other toxins. Coromega fish oil is proven to be 5X's more pure than the industry standard.** Coromega is committed to providing safe and pure products for you and your family. The oil used in Coromega comes from small, deep, cold-water fish that are less likely to be contaminated. The oil then undergoes molecular distillation, which removes toxins, heavy metals and PCBs. Coromega is manufactured in our state-of-the-art GMP compliant facility. Sophisticated testing methods assure that the purified fish oil used in the manufacture of Coromega is of the correct composition of fatty acids. Coromega is tested by third party laboratories and certified by NSF and consumerlab.com. ** Current GOED Voluntary Monograph vs. Coromega fish oil purity testing

I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "Ingredients considered potentially hazardous are listed on the product label and on the MSDS. The unlisted ingredients are generally regarded as safe by the United States EPA. Unlisted ingredients are considered proprietary and are not generally disclosed. Complete formulation may be released directly to a doctor and/or medical authority when/if required. " To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You dilute it, just as you would this product concentrate. Neem oil is the only active ingredient here anyway. This way you do not have any undisclosed ingredients to deal with. I have obviously passed on purchasing this product.

In general, there is no need to take both, flax oil and fish oil. That would be too much, because both contain Omega3 fatty acids. Barlean's is a good company, which supports the I-522: Your right to know. They are for the GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) labeling. I assume you would like to know if you are taking GMO products. Having said that, I personally prefer Krill Oil. Krill Oil has the highest concentration of Omega3. I always buy Dr. Mercola's Krill Oil. You can trust Dr. Mercola's products. Please, google Dr. Mercola. He has his own website. His clinic is in the state of Illinois.

The only way to know if they are pure is to buy oils that are certified organic with certification information on the label. Be wary of those labeled 100% organic but no certifying information. Otherwise it is a crap-shoot as to the quality you are getting.

There is no organization that oversees therapeutic quality grades. So therefore this question cannot be answered. However, it is not Food grade (re distilled to be of the utmost purity for ingestion). This is a very strongly scented (true to name) %100 lavender officinalis oil. It is not weak in scent like the other lavender essential oils I've purchased in the past. I use it for aromatherapy, among other things around the house.

I've not used this particular brand, but I have used other water soluble oils in the past. A mild petroleum odor seems to be the norm. And the rate or degree of spoilage seems to depend on who makes the stuff. I've solved that problem by mixing only what I need at the time I need it.

Yes. We use doTerra oils which are great! You can order them on mydoterra.com/wilsonoils

Are essential oils FDA approved? I don't know . . . It's not intended to ingest as a food or drug anyway.

Many companies with oils that are safe for ingesting will still tell you not to ingest them. They have to pay for insurance to tell people that. It's best if you do the research yourself. All oils are fairly good, you just have to research which ones are safe for consumption.
