What is the difference between this-"pure", "uncut", and the "therapeutic grade" oil? Why are the labels not shown?

This is kinda complicated. You need these 4 "P's"; Plants, Preparation, Purity and Potency as the main determining factors. Oils need to meet all or a combination of these factors for their classification. Pure is just that pure without additives. The better the numbers of the 4 "P's" the higher the oil quality. This can be a complicated factor involving how plants are treated for harvesting. Essential oils have a high oil concentration but are cut with varying amounts of things like alcohol. Pure and uncut are not the same. Pure usually usually applies to plants, their soil, leaves, stems, flowers are not chemically treated to assist with oil removal. Pure oil plants are treated like royalty. Grown in top soil for its kind, chemicals not used and so on. In addition preparation is done to a standard. Sanitation, ultra filtration and such does not influence its purity rating. I'm not sure what the industry setting are. Uncut seems to mean that while the oil is pure the plant has had methods done to aid in oil removal. These can involve chemicals placed on leaves or other methods. NOW for the complication. The oil must meet a minimum of the 4 "P's" listed to qualify for it's kind to meet a therapeutic rating. Therapeutic oils may not need a high rating of those 4 "P's". Some oils can be therapeutic and be cut with multiple items (other oils, alcohols, scents etc). This factor is what effects product price. Now for the best answer, get the best oil you can for your intended use. I add a few drops of pure uncut citronella oil or lemon oil to a cotton ball then swab kennels, dog collar and bed for a safer flea repelling. I use the same technique with oils to treat sachets, pillows to aid in sleep or relaxation or what ever. I feel comfortable with less is best method. Others may not believe this works so an oil with extra added for volume is the answer. This stops waste or potential danger with over use. Hope this helps. I had looked this up to aid in my purchases of oils.

The label doesn't say whether or not it is "unrefined". It just says "white raw". I assumed that raw by definition was unrefined. I've used it in creams, lotions and cold process soaps. I'm very happy with it.

The oils I ordered were not watered down. I can't verify they are certified but mine work beautifully! I normally do order through my representative.

I would say that it's more pure than a lot of the other oils. To truly get pure oil you would have to buy organic vitamin e oil which is generally much more expensive.

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.

lable saying 100% natural, which mean no addictives or chemicals so this product is cold pressed. To verify contact the manufacturer to ask questions about the oil or to clarify any of the qustion you have.

I do not know the label is worn off due to constant use. The certification was not the main reason I purchased this oil. Sorry I couldn't of been more help.

Yes all of my oils are therapeutic grade oils. I was taught that if you couldn't safely ingest the oil you should not put it on your skin as your skin is the biggest organ. This particular frankincense is steamed distilled. For more info on it look at the plant therapy site. I generally use young living products as I know they are all very good quality or go to a local shop that specializes in essential oils and have them mix me up something. Remember to look at where the plant is coming from when ordering because they smell differently. For example my YL frankincense is Boswellia carter and the Plant Therapy is Boswellia Serrata. Though the smell is similar I think the plant therapy has a little lighter and sweeter smell.

That's the terminology they use for their own internal standards. FDA doesn't monitor essential oils. You could check to see if the plants used are certified organic. I bought a couple of sets but the only thing that worries me about this company is how little information is provided about who they are and what they do. You can't even navigate their website properly, and their facebook page has not been updated for a while.

Got the magnifying glass to see and I did not see that printed anywhere on my bottles. I did see it says, 100% pure essential oil.

The label says Active Ingredient = 99.9% mineral oil. There is a section that says Inactive Ingredients, but someone put a sticker on top of that and I can't see what is printed there. When I peeled off the sticker, it ruined the label. Now that you asked, I'm anxious to know the answer myself.

Hello, It contains pure coconut oil and for me pure means high quality. I am satisfied with these drops , using it every day. I got the Carlson one but my baby boy had allergy cause it contains cherry flavor. So I got this one.

As I researched the essential depot sight I found that this oil is said to be cold pressed, usually cold pressing is hexane free, they were helpful with my soaping questions so if you contact them I am sure they would be happy to help.Their catch phrase is greener life essentials so I hope it would be hexane free.

I'm using capsules these days but I believe the oil was pure when I used it.

Unfortunatly most oilive oils sold today are not pure . Nobody monitors the industry. In reality only God knows whats in those bottles. Some of the oils are actually toxic to your body. You HAVE TO RESEARCH. Hope this helps. Trader Joes Kirkland are two good ones

I just read the entire label and the only text I see that is even close to descriptive about process is "Expeller-Pressed and Hexane-Free". For what it is worth, the picture on the front of the bottle shows both the flesh and the nut/seed but that could just be a graphic showing what an avocado looks like. There is a website listed: www.nowfoods.com. I use the oil on my face and hair about once a month and really like how it leaves my hair and skin.
