AT A GLANCE
“It is of utmost importance
for spa owners to request
that their suppliers have
oils that are GC/MS tested.
So many companies make
claims that their oils are
pure and therapeutic,
when they don’t have this
testing done. It is literally
impossible for a company
to validate the quality of
their oils without this test.
It is also important to use
essential oils in organic
carrier oils and lotions,
since the carrier oils are
usually 95 to 99 percent of
an aromatherapy product
that is applied to the skin.
Pure essential oils are
extremely potent and
should always be diluted
prior to application. Each
spa should consider their
unique clientele to select
which essential oil
products to carry, as there
are many selections.
Providing a variety of
choices that reflect your
customers’ needs will put
you in their graces.”

“When considering any
aromatherapy product
or process, first ensure
the client finds the
aroma to be pleasing.
Humans have some 5
million scent glands
and you don’t want to
offend any of them!
Second, ensure that the
product is pure. Purity
is important and petrochemical diluents are
absolutely forbidden.”
