Essential Oils: Organic

Organic essential oils are obtained from plants that have not been chemically treated, and the soil is usually certified to be chemical free for a certain number of years. Many oils are organic by nature (conifer oils for instance), however, they may not be backed by certification. This does not mean the oil is poor quality. It simply means that the producer did not have the oil certified as organic. The certification process is quite costly. Organic oils, therefore are more expensive than conventional oils. With some oils, using conventional instead of organic oils may not pose any concern. With other oils, however, you may want to make sure the oil is of organic quality, especially when the plant/fruit is known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides. Citrus fruit, for instance, is usually sprayed with pesticides that are readily absorbed into the rind. The rind is the part of citrus fruits that are pressed to obtain the oil. The resulting essential oil can have high concentrations of pesticides if non-organic fruit rinds are used. If you are using citrus essential oils in skin care products, you may want to select organic oils.
