How to identify the quality of essential oils

1. The most intuitive method is to smell the fragrance and observe the skin's reaction. If it smells natural, floral or fruity, it means it does not contain artificial ingredients such as alcohol.

After applying essential oil to the skin, if it has poor penetration and is not easily absorbed by the skin, it means that the essential oil is not good.

2. Drop the essential oil on a paper towel. If you can still smell the fragrance after it dries and there are no oil stains, it means it is a good essential oil.

3. If you drop it into cold water, the essential oil will not dissolve, but will only float on the water surface or sink to the bottom of the water, but it will emit a fragrance, which means it is a good essential oil.
