Methods for identifying the quality of yarrow essential oil

1. Check the packaging. To judge whether an essential oil is good or not, observing the packaging is the first step. First, because essential oils are volatile and prone to spoilage, they are usually placed in dark glass bottles, mainly brown or green glass bottles. Second, professional, high-quality essential oils will clearly state the origin of the raw materials on the packaging and instructions, to clearly indicate the source of the essential oil. In addition, high-quality, legitimate essential oils will also indicate the purity of the essential oil on the bottle; if it is a pure essential oil, it must also be marked with the words "100% Pure Essential Oil." At the same time, some professional essential oils will also print the botanical name of the essential oil in Latin. Finally, one point to note is that a bottle of single essential oil is generally 1-10ml. The capacity of a bottle of carrier oil is generally 10-100ml.

2. Test the texture. Essential oils are highly volatile; after dropping a few drops on a paper napkin, white paper, or a thin cotton pad, they evaporate before long. If they do not leave too much oil residue and may even restore the test paper to its original appearance, it is generally a high-quality, high-purity essential oil. At the same time, herbaceous essential oils have small molecules and will quickly diffuse on the water surface, leaving a layer of floating oil on the water surface, but resinous ones are heavier and usually sink into the water. However, no matter which type of essential oil it is, a high-quality essential oil will not affect the water's original characteristics in water, and if the water quality remains very clear, it is a high-quality, high-purity essential oil.

3. Degree of blending. Usually, the higher the purity and the higher the quality of the essential oil, the stronger its permeability and skin affinity. Therefore, when a high-purity, high-quality single essential oil is blended with a carrier oil, it can blend very well, without leaving residue, or even the phenomenon of multiple oils separating. At the same time, after the blended essential oil is applied and massaged on the back of the hand or wrist, it can be absorbed very well and will not leave excess oil residue on the body.
