Definitely not. Essential oils do NOT have any SPF. Don't ever attempt to replace your sunscreen with essential oils. You can always add essential oils to your homemade or non-toxic sunscreen which can help reduce oxidative stress, soothe your skin and improve its look and feel, but it is NOT a protection against those UV rays. Stay on the lookout for a...
Although derived from the same plants, essential oils are the concentrated essence of a plant and should not be confused with actual plant material. The herbs themselves contain many other properties in addition to the scent and are often dried and used in cooking, medicine, as supplements and in herb wraps. Even though herbs have a strong smell, (especially fresh),...

However, beyond this date, one cannot guarantee the oils because essential oils naturally lose some of their potency over time.The shelf life of essential oils, carrier oils and massage oils varies tremendously, and their life expectancy can be influenced by many different external factors....
Sure you can, but you get what you pay for. Please read what I wrote about Ethics & Quality - they do matter! When you purchase on Amazon you are potentially purchasing compromised oils as you don't really know if they've been tampered with and re-sold at a cheaper price. Unfortunately, there a lot of people trying to make a quick...

Sure! I love providing samples to people who are serious about using essential oils to enhance their health and wellbeing. I completely understand that you would want to try them first before committing to a wholesale account.
