Why Aromatherapy Students Rely on Aromatics International

Established to Deliver Premium Essential Oils for Aromatherapy Learners

Aromatics International was established by seasoned aromatherapy instructors specifically to serve the needs of aromatherapy students.

Over two decades ago, Andrea Butje and Cindy Black launched the Aromahead Institute with the goal of educating others on the art and science behind essential oils. However, they encountered significant challenges in locating a dependable supplier of pure essential oils suitable for their students’ hands-on practice sessions.

In one revealing incident, Andrea subjected a bottle labeled as frankincense oil to laboratory testing, only to find that it contained just 2% genuine frankincense, with the majority being synthetic additives. This eye-opening discovery underscored the urgent need for change in the industry.

The cornerstone of effective aromatherapy lies in using purely sourced essential oils. Oils tainted with impurities fail to deliver the expected therapeutic effects and may even provoke adverse reactions in users. Motivated by this, Andrea and Cindy created Aromatics International to meticulously source and import the world’s purest essential oils, carrier oils, and related aromatherapy products.

Guided and Managed by Certified Aromatherapy Professionals

Beyond its origins in supporting student education, Aromatics International is owned and operated by individuals who themselves began as aromatherapy students.

Even today, the company remains under the stewardship of certified aromatherapists who uphold a steadfast dedication to holistic aromatherapy learning, trustworthy guidance, and the provision of top-tier products identical to those they personally use for themselves and their loved ones.

Every member of our team brings extensive experience as a certified aromatherapist, possessing deep knowledge of the intricate details and subtleties involved in working with essential oils.

Full Transparency in Product Details

Detailed Batch-Specific GC/MS Testing Reports

What steps can you take to confirm the purity of the essential oils you’re purchasing? The definitive method is through a sophisticated laboratory analysis known as GC/MS testing.

Every single batch of essential oil arriving at Aromatics International undergoes rigorous GC/MS testing, which is then verified by an independent third-party chemist. These comprehensive reports are made freely available on our website for your review.

A GC/MS report meticulously documents the chemical constituents found in an essential oil, including their precise percentages. These chemical profiles are what dictate the unique therapeutic qualities of each oil. For students of aromatherapy, reviewing these components offers valuable insights into the oil’s potential benefits, applications, and effects.

Navigating our website is straightforward: search for your desired essential oil, then access the dedicated GC/MS Data section located just below the product description to explore all the pertinent details.

Precise Distillation Dates and Production Insights

Given that all essential oils possess a finite shelf life, we transparently disclose the exact distillation dates for each product. This key information appears directly on the corresponding GC/MS reports. Freshness is paramount, as newly distilled oils retain maximum vibrancy, potency, and therapeutic efficacy.

Furthermore, we provide in-depth specifics on the sourcing locations and production methods for every oil. Such details can profoundly influence the oil’s chemical composition, safety profiles, and overall suitability for various uses.
