The Best Essential Oil Products for Every Occasion

To get the most out of your essential oils, look for the “USDA organic” seal and name of the certifying body (like Oregon Tilth or ECOCERT) on the label. This typically helps ensure you’re buying essential oils that meet industry standards of authenticity and that haven’t been diluted, adulterated, or contaminated with syn- thetic compounds, including pesticides.
