I’ve been wanting to write a post about the best source for essential oils for a while now. I use them so often in green cleaning and natural beauty recipes, so I did a lot of work to make sure the oils I used were the best quality.
About a year ago, I decided to search as much as I could to find the best source for essential oils. I read reviews, I read articles about essential oils, and I bought and used the oils myself. I searched until I decided I found the best quality oils for the best price.
There are a few essential oils companies that popped up often in my search- but some of them are multilevel marketing companies. Not that there is anything wrong with that- but it just means that their oils are slightly more costly to include the fee for the consultants, so they were ruled out. Other companies were ruled out by price, or quality, or both.
So after lots of scouring and testing, I’ve found what I consider to be the best source for essential oils:
And I’m going to tell you why they’re so great. So what makes Rocky Mountain Oils better than the rest?
1. sourcing
Rocky Mountain Oils sources all their ingredients from trusted suppliers that meet their stringent guidelines. They source organic ingredients as much as possible. They source their ingredients from all over the world, so they are grown in their native environments. This means their ingredients are the highest quality by being grown in the best possible environment.
2. quality and purity
RMO’s essential oils are always the best quality. They are either steam distilled or cold pressed, which are the best methods for extracting oils. They never contain adulterants or additives, and are completely pure.
Their oils are from the first distillation or pressing. This means that their oils retain the most therapeutic qualities and scents from the ingredients. Oils that come from second or third distillations are like making a second or third cup of coffee using the same grinds- they do not retain the same taste, smell, quality, or benefits of the first cup (or distillation).
3. third party quality testing and transparency
RMO obsessively analyzes all their oils to make sure they meet their standard of quality. Every batch goes through more than 4 types of quality testing, including testing by third parties that have no stake in providing falsely positive information. Even better than that, their testing results for any batch are all available for customers or potential customers to read themselves.
4. customer service
RMO has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you aren’t happy with your purchase for any reason, you can get a complete refund within 90-days, no questions asked. The oils can be opened and used, and they will pay your return shipping fee. Their customer service is absolutely top notch.
5. price
Not only are their oils the best quality, they are also the best price point. They sell directly to consumers to keep overhead costs lower and keep the price affordable to you. Their shipping is free for any orders within the US, which provides huge savings.

I don’t have an instagram account or a twitter account so I assume you can’t enter the draw without them?
I will definitely use your advice and order from them in future though. Thank you!

You can enter using one of the other methods, like signing up for my email list. You don’t have to use every single way to enter- just one. The more you do the more chances you get.

I’m curious what your thoughts are on edens garden compared to Rocky Mountain oil? Thank you!
Susie says
I do use Eden’s Garden and I like their oils, but I don’t think they have the same kind of transparency that RMO has.
