At Eden Botanicals we specialize in sourcing pure essential oils, absolutes
and CO2 extracts and offer them to you at wholesale prices. We are very
selective in the essential oils that we carry. Rather than trying to carry
a large number of essential oils, we prefer to offer a moderate collection
of really great oils. We only add on new essential oils when we can obtain
a great quality oil that we can offer at a fair price. Eden Botanicals
carries several specialty oils that are hard to find elsewhere. We guarantee
all of our essential oils, and we offer great quality and fair pricing.
All of our essential oils, CO2 extracts and absolutes are available in
sample sizes so that you can try them out before purchasing a large quantity.
Our samples come in glass vials with applicator tops and hold about 1
ml, or .03 oz. For our precious oils such as agarwood, rose and jasmine,
and our viscous, resin-like oils (such as benzoin, immortelle, labdanum,
mate), we offer tiny samples of just a few drops.
These essential oils are perfect for using in essential oil diffusers,
or for making your own aromatic blends, bath oils, cosmetics or massage
oils. We recommend using these essential oils to make your own natural
perfumes by adding them to our Amber Essence Oil (as a base oil) or to
our organic carrier oils.
Essential oils are pure plant fragrances obtained most often by steam
distillation. These are wonderful gifts of nature to be treasured and
treated with respect. Some of the essential oils that we sell in bulk
are ones that we purchase in large quantities for use in formulating our
proprietary Essence Oil Blends.
All of our essential oils are pure, natural and undiluted. As such, they
are quite strong and should be diluted before being used. We recommend
that you familiarize yourself with the safe use of essential oils and
dilute them accordingly.
We also sell numerous absolutes and CO2 extracts. Absolutes are essential
oils that have been solvent extracted, with the solvent being evaporated
off at the end of the process. Absolutes are often used for delicate flowers
such as rose and jasmine. Absolutes have the benefit of not being heated
during the extraction process. This creates an essential oil with a fragrance
that is oftentimes more true to the original flower. Although rose is
available as a very expensive steam distilled essential oil (usually called
rose otto), jasmine is not available as an essential oil because the flowers
are too delicate for the steam distillation process.
CO2 extracts are aromatic oils that have been extracted from plant materials
using CO2 (carbon dioxide) under pressure; they are also known as supercritical
extractions, or supercritical fluid extractions. This is a relatively
new and expensive technology that is more efficient than steam distillation
because the process has the ability to capture a broader spectrum of the
aromatic components, giving a fragrance more true to the original plant
material without the use of chemical solvents. Another great benefit is
that carbon dioxide is nontoxic, odorless, and is easily removed from
the extracted oil at the end of the process. CO2 extracts also tend to
have a longer lasting and more potent aroma than their steam distilled
counterparts.
We have searched long and hard, going through many samples and suppliers
to get these high quality oils at reasonable prices. We import some
of these essential oils directly from the distillers. Please enjoy
them and have fun sharing your essential oil creations with your friends
and loved ones. Creating essential oil blends is one of the most satisfying
ways to spend the day. |
