Be Young Essential Oils is one of hundreds of different companies in the growing essential oil industry. In this growing market, company bottle labels, websites, and literature display claims that it is 100% pure, natural, organic, and therapeutic. What brand is better? It all depends on what your needs are.
Be Young Essential eo is gaining a reputation for its purity and therapeutic benefits, but they may not be the best choice for everyone.
EOBBD tests
EOBBD stands for Essential Oil Botanically and Biochemically Defined. It is a quality standard that monitors how an oil is grown, extracted, and produced, including chemical analysis. While the EOBBD test is a strict quality standard, it is expensive and can increase the price of the product. While this level of testing is beneficial for therapeutic uses, it may be less important for perfume and cosmetic uses.
Therapeutic Grade
Essential oils are made for many different uses. Therapeutic uses support the body’s ability to heal, renew, and defend against disease and require the highest quality, potency, and purity for the greatest benefit.
Be Young’s focus is specifically for the therapeutic and medicinal market. To achieve this, the company uses certified organic and wild-caught sources where possible. The company verifies growing conditions, soil health, and distillation methods to ensure maximum therapeutic potency. This attention to detail helps ensure that there are no additives, residual solvents, adulterants, pesticides, and other impurities.
Purity: a two-edged sword?
The term ‘100% pure’ is popular and is found on many labels. However, ‘neat’ can apply to products diluted up to 49% in a base or vehicle, and is the norm for many products. Because the oils can be used in so many ways, buying them pre-diluted limits how the product can be used. Even for oils that are typically diluted, Be Young delivers their products at full strength, giving an added level of control to the end user. This also provides more value since you get much more oil than diluted products.
While 100% pure oils allow for more control, there are drawbacks. Some oil applications work better when diluted and the customer must do the dilution themselves. Several oils, including oregano, can be very irritating to the skin when undiluted and are almost always sold diluted. Such oils require extra care and knowledge to use them safely when pure.
A contrary view on mixtures
The mixture is usually done to achieve the desired aroma or bouquet. The most common method of blending therapeutic oils is based on medicinal effects, combining the desired medicinal properties of various oils. Unlike most companies, Be Young essential oils are formulated based on frequency and constituent content. Essential oils of the same MHz frequency can provide complementary energetic effects when mixed together. The mixture based on the content of the constituents makes a more balanced mixture and with medicinal objectives.
Variable prices and availability
Most companies in the industry source their oils from large commodity brokers who use multiple sources to maintain constant inventory. This keeps prices lower and more consistent and maintains better product availability. Rather, Be Young sources its oils from small, select, high-quality farms where weather and climate can greatly affect the size of the crop from year to year. This means that the price of their products can fluctuate from year to year, and is typically higher than mass-produced oils. Availability of some products may be delayed or out of stock from time to time as quality takes precedence over inventory.
What is the best for you?
With so many options available, it’s best to do your research before purchasing essential oils. Clearly identify and understand your needs and find the best source to meet them. If you need a potent, high purity therapeutic product and are willing to pay a little more for higher quality, then Be Young essential oils are an excellent choice with distinctive blending benefits and quality testing.
