What a proper bottle of essential oil should have on it's label
- name (also botanical name of the herb),
- the country of origin,
- where to keep it (keep away from children),
- the exact quantity,
- expiry date, when it was filled,
- what process has been used to obtain it,
The bottle must be made of dark, opaque glass. Some producers also put the name of the solvent on it (if it’s the essence) Reading a label we should be informed whether the distillation leftovers were controlled or not. The origin of the oil must be identified; whether it comes from an organic farm or from the wild.
In case of expensive oils blended with the less expensive ones proportions should be given as well as the note of the oil, the type of fragrance and its application.
