Does Nubian Heritage use only pure therapeutic grade essential oils in their products?

I wouldn't call what it containers as therapeutic oils. It's just Shea butter with a light scent. Because it was raw Shea butter, by the time I got the two I ordered, they must have been sitting in a hot warehouse and the butter separated and even oozed from the lids. They were wrapped in plastic, so they didn't leave a mess on the other items I bought, but it was a mess when I unwrapped them. I tossed them in the trash right away.

The only FDA requirement is that an oil must contain 5% of the pure ingredient listed, to be marketed as a "100% therapeutic grade oil". The other 95% of the product could be anything.

According to the package insert from Eden's Garden: "We take great pride in providing 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. All of our oils are pure which means no additives, bases, fillers, or synthetics... nothing added, nothing taken away." and "WE source our products from organic growers and distillers and all of our oils are from pesticide free plants."

There's no indication on the bottle for where its producer - Seychelles Organics - is based but it uses the Heritage store address - Edgar Cayce's institute - (www.heritagestore.com) so you might be able to find out through them. They are a very responsible organization - usually their products are excellent. The bottle bears the "eco-friendly/cruelty-free" label. But if you are concerned about the oils seed workers - who in some places are exposed to dangerous substances in the oil refining, you will have to research this with the Heritage people. 1-800-862-2923. BTW: This is the finest castor oil I've ever used.

of course. doTerra, Young Living and Aura Cacia are all great oils. There may be others who claim they are pharmaceutical grade... not sure where their oils are coming from...

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.

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.

Our Essential Oils are Pure and are mostly classified as Consumable Quality. Nonetheless, we DO NOT recommend the Consumption of Essential oils. They are very potent and are able to cause crucial/severe situations if consumed without the necessary expertise. Except, under the Supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also an accomplished aromatherapist.The International Federation of Aromatherapist backs this Statement.

No, it mentions you may use it when diluted but it is intended for auromatherapy. If you mean therapeutic in terms of using it for buety products or internally you will want therapeutic/food grade oil, its harder to find and more expensive.

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.

I'm not a DoTerra representative, but all of the DoTerra essential oils are only pure oils, nothing else.

I just emailed them and this is their response: 100% Pure Peppermint oil. Food grade. Considered Therapeutic grade by many companies. Top quality Peppermint and other Essential oils such as this are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of peppermint oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop with a carrier oils like olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil. Very little is required in most recipes. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly.

No, I have used this product and it is only mineral oil, beeswax, rosemary and lemon essential oils. It smells wonderful when you apply it due to the rosemary.

Dr. Christopher's uses herbs, and natural products only. Fragrance oil is synthetic, and not used in this product. From their website, "We are 100% Pure. We do not use chemicals or chemical clones, added fillers/flow agents, or genetically modified ingredients". http://www.drchristopher.com/the-difference/overview-of-how-different/

I contacted the company with the same question and here is their answer: "Yes Food Grade. These are the highest grade oils. Top quality Lemon and many other Essential oils are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of lemon oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop in a carriar oil like olive oil or grapeseed oil. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly."
