Simply Earth Pine EO

Simply Earth Pine Essential Oil

#simplyearth


Simply Earth has some pretty fantastic essential oils. They are of high quality too. I was pleased to be able to test this pine oil. Especially since it is the week before Christmas. This is a nice scent to diffuse to get into the holiday spirit. This isn't quite like a typical Christmas tree scent you will find in say a candle at walmart. It is more like the ... I think it is called "white pine" from Yankee candle. It is just a variation of a "pine" scent. Just like candles that are balsam, pine, wreath, or the white pine. Anyway, it is a nice scent for the season. It is also good to use when making soap. Because it is a milder pine scent it does not overtake the room when the bar of soap gets wet. I was provided this EO at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

Art Naturals Peppermint Oil

Art Naturals Peppermint Oil. I have a few different essential oils from this business to review for you. I am always skeptical of EO's until I have tried several oils from a company. You never know if you just got lucky once and got a good shipment.. or if you got an expired or sour batch. But, since the box this huge EO bottle was shipped in has the MFG and EXP date right on the front of the box, I was impressed to start. So it passes step 1. Step 2. Packaging. And that can mean anything from how it is packaged to any safety/freshness measures. Check! It was sent in a sturdy box and packed in bubble wrap. No leakage here. I recently did get a small bottle from another company that did not make it past this. The darn thing leaked during shipment and my mailbox is now heavily scented with a not so nice fake "peppermint" smell. Maybe Art Naturals should deserve an extra point for their diligent quality standards.

Very nice quality peppermint oil. I use essential oils almost daily and this is one of the finer oils on the market. With other lower quality ones you get a scent that feels fake. Not so with this brand. This one is 100% pure virgin distilled peppermint oil. This essential oil is concentrated so you can mix it in whatever medium you like making it very versatile. Some EO's will already be mixed in a carrier oil to either dilute them or make them only usable in one way or two.I also liked that this particular company/seller has the expiration dates visible. This way you know you are getting a quality, unexpired, safe, product.

I found this useful in my laundry, shampoo, diffuser, along baseboards to keep spiders away, and in a spray bottle with distilled water. I really tried this one out for a good solid amount of time before reviewing. It has held up and because it is such a big bottle I still have lots left. Highly recommended! I purchased this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My review is based on my own personal experience having this product in hand and personally using it.
