FAQ's
What does commercial-grade essential oil mean?
Commercial-grade essential oils are selected and prepared for professional use across various industries, including cosmetics, home fragrance and cleaning products. These oils are typically commercially blended for control with batch consistency in formulations and may be adapted to meet formulation demands or regulatory requirements. They're commonly used in scenarios where cost-efficiency, scalability and reliable aromatic profiles are key.
Which essential oils should you not mix together?
There aren’t specific essential oil combinations that automatically become harmful simply by being mixed together. However, some pairings may not work well from a fragrance perspective. Oils from very different scent families — such as sharp minty notes combined with heavy earthy or resinous oils — can clash and produce an unbalanced or unpleasant aroma.
When blending, it’s often best to start simple. Begin with two or three oils from the same fragrance family, such as floral with floral or citrus with citrus, and build from there. Testing small batches first allows you to refine the scent before scaling up for commercial or formulation use.
What certifications should commercial essential oils have for quality assurance?
Suppliers should be able to provide supporting information, such as:
- A product overview or specification sheet that details physical characteristics, shelf life and usage parameters.
- Ingredient disclosures or compositional summaries to assist with regulatory labelling or product development.
- Information on sourcing and extraction, including plant origin, cultivation region and method of processing.
- Guidance for safe handling and storage, especially for businesses managing bulk volumes or manufacturing environments.
- Optional declarations related to sourcing practices (vegan status, non-GMO origin or cruelty-free manufacturing), where aligned with your brand or client requirements.
When in doubt, it's best to contact your supplier directly and confirm what information is available.
