Essential Oils

  Did you know that the essential oil industry is NOT REGULATED. So words like “pure”, “100% natural” and “organic” actually mean nothing without a certification. You could buy an “essential oil” which is only 3% actual essential oil and the other 97% could be synthetic fillers, fragrances, chemicals or just plain water! This is why some essential oil brands have warnings that you can't diffuse their oils around children or pets, and shouldn't use directly on your skin. If it seems too cheap, there's a reason for that!

 I've done my research on different essential oil brands and chose to go with Young Living for a few reasons. Mainly, their Seed To Seal Quality Commitment. Young Living have their own farms where absolutely NO pesticides are used at all, and are all hand weeded. Young Living farms are also open to the public, so you can visit them to see exactly where your oils are coming from.

All Young Living diffusers are BPA free! This means that the plastics inside the diffusers will not break down over time with the use of essential oils. It also means that no BPA plastic will be diffused in the air with your oils. The ultrasonic frequency of the diffusers generate waves at 1.7 million times per second, allowing the diffuser oils to reach much longer distances. There is also a one year warranty on our diffusers.

Young Living have absolutely gorgeous diffusers in a range of different styles. They also vary in different running times, and light and music settings!
