Question 1

Is this actually 100% pure sandalwood essential oil? The price is so low it seems impossible. If not, what percent sandalwood oil is it?

Accepted Answer

For this oil at this price for this ammount -- this is a right question to ask!  Exactly how much of this 100% pure sandalwood precious oil is in this 2 oz bottle ?! 1 ml or less? 1% or how much? Just because  it sais on the bottle 100% pure sandalwood oil -- does NOT meen that the whole content of 2oz bottle is,  for Goodness'sake!  I can put 1ml of pure 100% real sandalwood oil into 2oz of sunflower oil ( or who knows what else!) and lable the bottle "100% sandalwood oil" because there is a tiny minuscule ammount of real oil there, but the rest of the bottle's content is unknown substance. Do your research , folks!  This company's bottles doesn't even indicate the botanical name of the plant( which is another sign something isn't right). Even if it was 5% of sandalwood oil in ths bottle -- the price for2oz of it is just unrealistically cheep, period!

Question 2

I've used tea tree oil for years.  I just bought this bottle and it smells like pine sol instead of the typical tea tree oil smell.  Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

I've been around tea tree oil for over 30 years having had friends use it for shave bumps on their heads and I've personally used it as an antifungal. The scent of tea tree oil is NOT pleasant. Every tea tree oil product on Amazon has several people saying it smells bad or not what they're used to. Probably because they've never used truly 100% tea tree oil. The stuff absolutely works but it does stink to high heaven.

Question 3

My peppermint oil smells like band aids and hydrogen peroxide. It is repulsive. I use peppermint oil daily and never had a bottle like this. Scam?

Accepted Answer

Unless you can obtain the GC/MS report from the company selling the essential oil I wouldn't trust it for anything but pest control. I can tell you; a quality peppermint essential oil will run you about $10 for a 5mL bottle (that's 1/6th of an ounce). PLEASE do not use cheap oils in your diffusers, inhalers or in skin products. You will do more harm than good with all the synthetics that are found in cheap oils.

Question 4

Your essential oil failed the paper test for purity, what do you add to it?

Accepted Answer

Here’s a fun fact: essential oils aren’t true oils at all. They simply got stuck with the label because they don’t play well with water. And, as it turns out, this quirk comes in handy for spotting any hidden nut, seed, or vegetable oils covertly added to an essential oil. The test: Place a single drop on white printer paper and let dry. If there’s an oily ring left behind, it’s not a pure essential oil. The exceptions: Essential oils such as sandalwood, vetiver, German chamomile, and patchouli oils, which are naturally heavier in consistency and deeper in color, says Jade Shutes, president of the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy.
