A selection of essential oils for Russian market is large enough, the assortment is represented by many domestic and foreign manufacturers.
At the same time, aromatherapy lovers find it difficult to find a quality product due to the range of prices and lack of awareness... Is it possible to determine which brand's essential oils are of high quality? Quite if you learn a little more about the product.
We define quality
The production of essential oil is not legally regulated in any way, there is even no clear definition of it. Under the guise of natural products, dishonest merchants can legally sell ordinary flavored oil, which is completely useless for health. There are several criteria for determining a quality product:
- The oil is produced from essential oil plants. These include umbelliferous, rosaceous, myrtle, labiate, coniferous and citrus fruits. Cucumber or, for example, watermelon oil cannot be essential.
- The cost of different oils from the same manufacturer varies. The most inexpensive because of the cheapness of raw materials and ease of production are conifers and citrus fruits. It takes a ton of flowers to make 50 ml of rose oil, which is why it is the most expensive.
- According to the international standard, oils are packaged in dark glass bottles equipped with a dispenser with a volume of 6-15 ml. Elite products are available in containers from 1 ml.
- There are no marks on the label: "environmentally friendly", "aroma oil", "100% essential". For domestic producers, the quality indicator will be the inscription “100% natural essential oil”, for foreign producers - “100% essential” or “pure and natural”. The botanical (Latin) name of the plant from which the oil is produced must be indicated.
- Price good product cannot be low. Cheap oil is either synthetic or made from low-quality raw materials, in violation of technology.
To determine which company has high-quality essential oils, you should carefully study the information about the company, its range, production features. Reviews on the Internet are often false, aimed at promoting a product or discrediting competitors.
Reliable data can be obtained on the official website of the company and thematic forums of aromatherapy lovers. Let's take a look at several popular manufacturers as an example.
An Austrian company with almost a century of history is directly involved in the production of oils. A serious international corporation has grown from a small family business. Production points are located all over the world - from Europe to Australia. Styx has been present on the Russian market since 1994 and operates through official distributors.
Essential oils firms "Styx" are of high quality, certified according to the international standard. They can be used for aromatherapy, cosmetology. According to some reviews, oils are imported to Russia that cannot be used in medical purposes, that is, for oral administration. Products suitable for such treatment can be purchased in foreign (European) online stores. The prices of Styx oils are not very affordable. This is an elite product of high quality with a corresponding value.
Russian company, more than 20 years on the market. It is engaged in the production of aromatherapy, perfumery and cosmetic products. All raw materials, including ready-made oils, is ordered from trusted foreign suppliers, production is carried out in our own laboratory.
In addition to the production of its own products, Iris offers a number of unique services: aromatherapy diagnostics, aroma peeling, professional aromatherapy services. We have our own clinic The company conducts aromatherapy training on paid basis... All of the above facts characterize Iris as a serious organization with a responsible approach to business.
Iris essential oils have Russian and European certificates. The products are positioned as absolutely natural and safe even for medical use. According to many buyers, the price of oils is too high for a Russian manufacturer. Meanwhile, "Iris" keeps the quality bar high, professionally organizes the accompanying service (consultations and training), so that the cost of the products is fully justified.
A relatively young company, established in 2001. It produces cosmetic and perfumery products, raw materials are purchased abroad. The company is quite respectable, at the All-Russian exhibition in 2014, Botaniki massage oil won first place in its category. Aromatherapy products are more complicated.
The first thing that attracts buyers of Botanica essential oils is the price. It is, on average, 10 times lower than that of competitors. A natural product as difficult to manufacture as real essential oil cannot be so cheap.
The label contains the botanical name of the ether-bearing plant, there is an inscription “Essential oil” and is separately designated “100%”. The information speaks in favor of the natural origin of the raw materials. At the same time, the inscriptions indicate that the contents of the vial are not real essential oil produced by traditional method extraction.
Oils of the "Botanica" company, most likely, are produced synthetically from low quality raw materials. They can be used for air deodorization, for wet cleaning, in home experiments with perfumery. For aromatherapy or enrichment of cosmetics, this product is practically useless. The manufacturer indicates that the oil is not intended to be taken orally.
Conclusion
To find a reliable manufacturer of essential oils, you need to carefully study all the available information: the company's website, the assortment presented, product reviews.
Serious passion for aromatherapy or natural cosmetics is quite an expensive pleasure. One cannot save on the quality of essential oil without risk to beauty and health.
Essential oils market situation
Since no state structure, which properly monitors the quality of essential oils - the market is overflowing with synthetics, despite the proudly screaming “100% essential oil” labels.
What ethnic shops offer are chemical flavors. Stores with goods for baths and saunas also offer chemistry in most cases. Even in pharmacies 99% of essential oils are of extremely low quality, or just synthetics.
And there is no one to blame, the overwhelming majority of sellers have no idea that they are selling chemistry under the guise of natural.
Therefore, in order to use aromatherapy with benefit and without harm to the body, be guided by the quality criteria proposed below.
The quality of essential oils
Since the market for essential oils is filled with counterfeits, it is very important to emphasize the issue of quality.
Immediately I want to disappoint you a little - in order to accurately determine a high-quality essential oil, you need to see a chromatogram with a decoding and a specialist's conclusion.
In a nutshell, chromatography is hardware method, which allows you to determine the percentage of chemical composition of the product.
However, some reputable firms cannot produce such a document for various reasons.
Therefore, for beginners The best way definitions of quality - this is a recommendation of a specialist, and preferably several.
With experience, the sense of smell can develop and it will be easier to recognize a 100% fake. But even experienced aromatherapists do not rely only on their sense of smell and study the reputation of the company, suppliers of raw materials and chromatograms of essential oils.
There are a few more criteria that are very relative, but can help in choosing an essential oil.
1. For most essential oils, the standard volume is 5-10 ml (in some companies, options are 6 and 15 ml, as well as fractions of an ounce - 1/4, 1/2, etc.), for expensive (rose, jasmine) it can be 1 -2 ml.
2. The bottle is made of dark glass, most often brown, but you can also find a bottle of other colors - blue, green, etc. If the oil is in a plastic bottle, or in clear glass, then this is a reason to doubt its quality.
3. The bottle is equipped with a dropper or pipette (except for small volumes of 1-2 ml).
4. Stopper with a ring of the first opening, or with protection against simple opening - as in drugs.
5. On the label - the name of the plant in Latin (consisting of two words - a specific and generic name, for example Citrus sinensis) and in the language of the trademark.
6.
The label shows the manufacturer and his address.
Otherwise, there will be no one to make claims to the quality of the products.
7.
There is a common myth that if you drop a natural essential oil on paper, it will completely evaporate after a short period of time. It is not true. The fact that the oil has completely evaporated from the sheet of paper does not mean its quality. Sometimes synthetic oils will evaporate from paper much faster than natural oils. Consider if your myrrh or patchouli oil has evaporated without residue from the sheet of paper, or if your blue chamomile oil hasn't left a blue trail.
A drop of oil on paper can provide a rough indication of whether the oil is diluted with a greasy solvent or not. An hour after you drop the essential oil, there should be no clearly greasy stain. But keep in mind that some oils will not completely evaporate - frankincense, myrrh, and some will color the paper - patchouli, chamomile, yarrow.
8. It is not possible to obtain essential oil from every plant. Therefore, the essential oils of banana, strawberry, strawberry, kiwi, melon, mango do not exist. These are synthetic flavors.
9. The price can also serve as a guideline in determining the quality of an essential oil.
The price is mainly determined by the percentage of essential oil in the plant material. The higher this percentage, the lower the cost.
For example,
in eucalyptus it is 3% (from 100 kg of leaves, up to 3 kg of essential oil are obtained);
in juniper 0.5% (from 100 kg of berries, 0.5 kg of oil is obtained);
0.05% for neroli (50 g of oil is obtained from 100 kg of orange flowers);
a rose has 0.03% (from 100 kg of petals, 30 ml of oil is obtained)
About the benefits in medicinal and cosmetic purposes has been known for a very long time. They are no less popular for regulation emotional state... However, all these properties are inherent primarily in natural essential oils, not theirs. How to distinguish natural products from artificial ones?
How to distinguish natural from synthetic essential oils?
When choosing an oil, you must first of all consider the purpose of its use. In general, any type of oil is suitable for use in aroma lamps, however, in cosmetic and medicinal purposes, when carrying out a massage, it is extremely important that the product is really natural - otherwise there is a high risk of allergic reactions and other side effects... At best, synthetic products simply will not bring the desired effect.
What is the difference between natural, identical natural and synthetic oils?
- Natural essential oils. In their production, only natural plants are used, grown in an ecologically clean area. When buying such oil, you can be sure that all the necessary technologies and degrees of purification of the finished product were strictly observed in the production.
There are also cheaper natural oils - their low price is due to insufficient quality raw materials or disruption of production processes. Their use for various purposes is absolutely not dangerous to health, but also positive effect you should not expect from them. - Oils identical to natural. Such products are made in laboratories, artificially recreating the composition corresponding to the original. Like cheap natural oils, they do no harm or tangible benefit.
- Synthetic essential oils. The process of obtaining them in most cases is very simple: for the production of such oils, a mixture of a solvent and a fragrance is used. It is to this category that the overwhelming amount of fragrances and perfume oils belongs. Their main purpose is to add aroma or decorative candles. Often, synthetic oils are sold under the guise of natural oils due to the incompetence of the seller, so you should be vigilant: inscriptions "Parfume oil", "fragrance oil" they just say that it is just aromatic - or synthetic - oil.
Signs of a quality product
How to determine whether the proposed product is really natural? First of all, you should pay attention to the following indicators:
Cost and weight
A natural product simply cannot be cheap due to the expensive production process. And the point here is not so much the complexity of the process - most of them are obtained by steam distillation - but rather in the ratio of the required raw material and the resulting product. For the production of several milliliters of natural oil, kilograms of flowers of ether-bearing plants are required - in most cases, it is the cost of raw materials that determines the price of the finished product.
In addition, it is very rare for such oils to be bottled in bottles larger than 15 ml by conventional standards. Especially expensive varieties are often sold in 1 ml bottles.
Natural essential oils prices vary greatly depending on which group they belong to. The most budgetary are representatives of the citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit) and woody (spruce, fir, eucalyptus, etc.) groups. The price for 1 ml of the product is about $ 5-15.
The next group in cost is oils obtained from herbs and flowers: these include lavender, chamomile, ylang-ylang, etc. The price for 1 ml is $ 10-50.
The most expensive oils are obtained from rare or initially expensive plants: rose, tuberose, jasmine, neroli, etc. The price for 1 ml of such oil can range from $ 20 to $ 100, depending on the raw material. One of the most expensive is considered to be lotus oil - a plant listed in the Red Book. Having seen such a product on the counter, you should not rush to buy it - because of its high price, it does not go on free sale.
Registration of packaging and containers
Everything natural essential oils are very sensitive to sunlight ... Under its influence, they lose most of their useful properties, and some of them, as a result chemical reactions, even begin to highlight harmful substances... That is why natural oils are poured into bottles of dark - most often brown - glass.
Most certified natural product manufacturers also provide the bottle cap with a first opening ring (similar to medicines) and child protection system.
Since the concentration of acting nutrients in a natural product is quite high, then in order to achieve the desired effect, a small amount of it is required - that is why vials with products natural origin equipped with a dropper dispenser.
On the label of a bottle with natural oil, the manufacturer's data, production date and batch number must be indicated. But the main thing that you need to pay attention to is the presence on the label Latin name the plant from which the oil is made and its country of origin. Many expensive oils are often diluted with more budgetary fatty carrier oils - in this case, the percentage of the product must be indicated on the label.
Lettering
On the packaging with natural essential oil, nothing can be written except "100% natural essential oil" or "100% essential oil". All other variations in which at least one of the words is missing, and even more so containing the words "aromatic", "perfumery" - indicate synthetic products.
ATTENTION! In case of the slightest doubt when buying an essential oil, you can ask the seller for a certificate for the product. All real oils must be certified according to one of the international standards - GMP or ISO. If this is not indicated in the text of the certificate, the product is almost certainly not natural. The presence of the “reconstituted” characteristic in the certificate indicates that the contents of the bottle are of synthetic origin.
Chromatogram
Find out exactly the composition of the oil and the percentage of various substances in it possible only in the laboratory using chromatographic analysis. Although the accuracy of the tests is highly dependent on the instrument used and may vary from laboratory to laboratory, this analysis can accurately show whether the oil contains foreign substances that are not inherent in its standard composition.
The only problem this method lies in its low availability to ordinary consumers and a relatively high cost.
IMPORTANT! You can try to conduct a small experiment without the help of laboratory equipment. Natural essential oils are very volatile, which means that their aroma changes over time, revealing new notes. If you drop a few drops of natural oil on a sheet of paper or cloth with an interval of 10-15 minutes, you will notice that each of them will have its own aroma. In the case of synthetic oil, this effect cannot be achieved - the smell will only subside over time, while remaining unchanged.
Rating of 100% natural essential oils
Pharmacopoeial quality- The concept of pharmacopoeial quality determines how a particular product complies with the approved norms and standards.
Today, according to this indicator, oils from such manufacturers as:
- Primavera Life (Germany); 5 (100%) 2
Natural essential oils have very small and active molecules that allow them to easily penetrate the skin. Thanks to this property, a therapeutic (curative) effect is achieved. But this "plus" can easily turn into a "minus" if low-quality essential oil is used in aromatherapy. The molecule of essential oil, easily penetrating through the skin, freely enters the bloodstream, and then, after a while, into the internal organs.
In order to get the most out of aromatherapy, you need to buy quality natural essential oils!
Which essential oil is considered good quality?
For terminological accuracy, we define the categories of essential oils.
Natural essential oils are natural fragrances extracted from essential plants.
Synthetic essential oils, "identical to natural" - artificially produced on the basis of synthetic aromatic substances, identical to natural ones in qualitative and quantitative chemical composition... Synthetic oils have no physiological activity, and therefore cannot be used as medicines.
Artificial essential oils are compositions that are created to mimic the smell, but not the composition. They may contain some natural oil in combination with synthetic fragrances, as well as various impurities. organic matter and solvents.
In fact, synthetic oils are not completely identical to natural oils in terms of smell. The uniqueness of the smell, the subtlety of the bouquet of natural essential oil cannot be artificially reproduced.
The use of synthetic and artificial essential oils is advisable and justified in perfumery to create original perfume compositions. But at the same time, it is completely unacceptable in aromatherapy, since they do not have those properties that are inherent in natural oils, and can be harmful due to the presence of components that are toxic to the body.
So how do you recognize a natural essential oil?
A good oil has a clean scent: eucalyptus smells like eucalyptus, and tangerine smells like tangerine. At the same time, the smell is not sharp. Natural oils have a quiet, even, voluminous aroma, in which all components are balanced and none of them "sticks out". The main characteristics of the scent are strength, refinement, persistence. It is worth watching for a change in smell for a while. If the oil is natural, then you will feel that the nature of the scent changes, and new shades appear in it. If you only feel a change in the intensity of the smell, or you feel something greasy or sour, then this is nothing more than a synthetic analogue. It should be noted, though, that smell is a highly subjective criterion for determining the quality of an oil.
Natural essential oil is homogeneous, transparent, without any inclusions. There should be no suspensions and turbidity.
When a drop of oil has evaporated, a pale discoloration may be observed on the surface if the oil has a distinct color, such as orange. But there should be no fat! The bottom note oils will evaporate for a long time (up to several hours), and during this time there will be a greasy trail with the correct, voluminous aroma. If, after complete evaporation of the drop, there is still a greasy trace, then you have either a cocktail of essential oil and vegetable oil, or poorly refined essential oil, which contains resins, and in high concentration.
- We carefully study the bottle
- By international standards essential oils should be packed in dark glass bottles (50% darkening) with a volume of 5-10 ml, equipped with a dispenser and a tight-fitting lid.
- The refined oils that can be used for cosmetic, medical and culinary purposes on the label states: "100% natural essential oil"(on oils for aromatization of premises - "for domestic use"), commercial name oils, the botanical name of the plant from which it is obtained, the name of the country of origin and the method of obtaining the oil.
- If the oil is diluted (for example, jasmine oil is often diluted due to the strength of the aroma and the high cost of production), an indication of the carrier oil is required with the designation of the percentage of fatty and essential components.
- Important! Synthetic essential oil can be labeled as "100% essential oil", "100% pure", "100% essential oil", but not natural! Natural essential oils are accompanied quality certificate country of origin.
- Open the lid and sniff
- We look at appearance the oil itself
- We drip a drop of oil on paper and wait
There is another test for authenticity:
If you try to inject a substandard essential oil into cosmetics, the end product will behave inappropriately. The cream will exfoliate (and will become liquid during storage), the shower gel will become cloudy and will not foam well.
Essential oil quality — important element aromatherapy. Low-quality essential oil is made from low-quality raw materials, is not properly processed, can be diluted with other oils or even chemical additives. As a result, they will not have the same therapeutic effect like pure quality essential oils, it is more likely that the desired effect will not be at all. And in some cases, you can get harm - burns, irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, allergic reactions etc.

The quality of the finished product depends on many factors. The production process is quite laborious, since each plant requires certain collection rules.
