Essential oils are the main items used in aromatherapy and beauty projects. Some essential oils can also be added to food. Essential oils are extracted from natural plants and then processed through complex distillation techniques, so the price is generally high. Some unscrupulous merchants want to make profits from essential oils and use chemicals to create fake essential oils to deceive consumers.
In order not to be deceived, but also for your own health and safe use, you need to know how to distinguish true and false essential oils! Quickly learn with Jiangxi Baicao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd
1. Packaging
Essential oils are plant extracts, and their effects are derived from natural plants. In order to ensure that the effectiveness of essential oils will not be affected, the packaging of essential oils is usually glass bottles or plastic bottles. The colors of bottles are mostly brown or white. This kind of packaging is to avoid the sunlight or chemical reaction with the bottle, which makes the essential oil lose its effectiveness. When buying essential oils, don’t be fooled by all kinds of gorgeous packaging!
2. Certification standards
Essential oils can be divided into cosmetic essential oils, food essential oils, pharmaceutical essential oils and ordinary essential oils. Even the ordinary essential oils we use every day should have national certification standards, so when purchasing essential oils, you should pay attention to whether the number of the state-approved production is printed on the box or bottle.
If there is no country-approved production number, then please do not use it, it is likely to be a fake, but some merchants will put a false production number to confuse consumers. Customers can inquire through the production number of the National Production Administration to see whether this production number exists and whether the products allowed to be produced by this production number are essential oils.
Similarly, cosmetic essential oils need a cosmetic production approval number, food essential oils need a certification number from the National Food Administration, and pharmaceutical essential oils need a pharmaceutical production approval number.
