One of the top ten challenges in the aromatherapy industry: How should I choose from so many aromatherapy products? This question is too difficult, I can't do it!!!
With the improvement of people's living standards, aromatherapy has gradually entered every household. Faced with thousands of types of aromatherapy on the market, there seems to be no better way besides selecting brands with high sales and one's own trust.
Below, I will share with you 5 methods to identify the quality of aromatherapy, so that everyone can practice the crystal of fire eyes.
 

 
NO.1
Primary identification technique
  
Primary Appraisal Technique: Price
 
Before purchasing essential oils, we were not familiar with the product and could only judge based on price. Essential oils are generally extracted from the leaves, stems, and flowers of plants through various methods, forming volatile aromatic substances.
 
For example, our common rose essential oil, 1ml of rose essential oil requires tens of kilograms of rose petals to be extracted, so the raw material for rose essential oil is only tens of thousands of kilograms, and the complex process combined with high-quality materials naturally costs a lot.
 
So the more expensive the price, the better the aromatherapy?
 
 Unfortunately, I answered incorrectly~
 
The higher the price, the better the aromatherapy, after all, price is only the most basic way of identification.
 
There are also some affordable and high-quality aromatherapy products, such as lemon, orange, lavender, and tea trees, because these plants are easy to cultivate, low in cost, and have a high survival rate, aromatherapy is naturally good and cheap.
 
 

 
NO.2
Intermediate appraisal technique
 
Intermediate Appraisal Technique: Taste
 
One of the most important factors affecting the quality of aromatherapy is taste.
 
Many people ask, as a beginner, how do you know if aromatherapy is good or bad if you have never smelled it before? However, we should all have smelled the scent of plants, pure 100% plant essential oils, with a layered taste.
 
 

 
For example, standing under a camphor tree, the scent of camphor may be a bit pungent at first, but then gradually adapt, and in deep breaths, one can feel a hint of fragrance, which is refreshing and soothing, and this is the legendary front, middle, and back fragrance. Poor quality aromatherapy naturally lacks this sense of layering.

 
NO.3
Advanced appraisal techniques
 
Advanced Appraisal Technique: Color
 
Most aromatherapy essential oils are colorless transparent liquids, with a few being colored, such as rose essential oil appearing light yellow or dark yellow, lemon essential oil appearing light yellow or green, sweet orange golden yellow, chamomile light blue, etc.
 
Whether it is colorless or colored essential oil, it will be clear when poured out.
 
Cloudy and impurity containing essential oils are all inferior!
 

NO.4
Master level appraisal technique
 
Master level appraisal technique: texture
 
The simplest method is to drop the essential oil onto a white A4 paper and let it evaporate freely. The paper leaves no traces, and some of the naturally colored essential oil will leave some color.
 
There is a more direct way:
Baking under a candle, do not light the paper. Pure essential oils will immediately evaporate without any trace when exposed to heat, while those inferior essential oils will leave obvious oil stains that will not disappear over time.
  
 
NO.5
Grandmaster level appraisal technique
 
Grandmaster level appraisal technique: place of origin
 
The time to gain knowledge has arrived!
 
Recognized famous origins include lavender and roses from France; British mint; Chamomile from Germany; Italian bergamot; Bulgarian roses; Yugali, Spain; Orange flowers from Portugal; Algerian geranium; Jasmine from Egypt; Australian tea tree essential oil; Indian sandalwood and so on.
 
Unfortunately, we don't have our big CHINA.
 
Although our incense has a long history and many incense antiques, there is still a significant gap between our fragrance extraction process and raw materials compared to foreign countries, which is also one of the reasons why domestic cosmetics have not formed an international brand.
