It is one of the top sellers of essential oils with a large variety of oils to meet varied needs.
Quality and Purity
It’s reassuring to see that the company mentioned in the text takes the quality of their oils seriously and has implemented measures to ensure their purity.
According to the FAQ on their website, the company conducts GC/MS tests on each of their essential oils, and reports on the breakdown of naturally occurring components are available on each product page. This is a positive sign as it suggests that they are transparent about the composition of their oils and are committed to providing accurate and reliable information to their customers.
Furthermore, the FAQ states that their essential oils are therapeutic grade and are free from harmful chemicals such as pesticides, synthetic chemicals, herbicides, and GMOs. This is in line with the standards that I adhere to as an aromatherapist, and it’s encouraging to see a company that shares my commitment to using safe and natural products.
The company’s pledge to the purity, safety, and effectiveness of their products is also a positive sign. It demonstrates their commitment to delivering high-quality products that meet the needs of their customers.
Lastly, the 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy is a reassuring policy for customers. It shows that the company stands behind their products and is willing to provide a refund if a customer is not satisfied.
Overall, the measures implemented by the company to ensure the purity and quality of their essential oils are impressive, and I would feel confident recommending their products to my clients.
Sourcing
Based on the information provided, it seems that Edens Garden is committed to sourcing their oils from reliable and trustworthy suppliers.
It’s reassuring to know that the company has direct relationships with their suppliers and verifies their credentials and facilities. This suggests that they take the quality of their oils seriously and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that their products meet their high standards.
Additionally, the fact that they source their oils from all over the world is a positive sign as it suggests that they are able to obtain a wide variety of oils that may not be available from local suppliers. The distillation of the oils in the country of origin is also a good practice as it allows for greater quality control and ensures that the oils are as fresh as possible.
I appreciate that the company strives to purchase from suppliers who employ organic farming and distillation practices. As an aromatherapist who values natural and organic products, this is important to me and my clients. It’s good to see that Edens Garden shares this commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.
Lastly, the fact that purchases from different regions are necessary due to the specific requirements of each plant is understandable. This highlights the complexity of sourcing high-quality oils and the need for a diverse range of suppliers to ensure that the oils are of the highest quality.
Overall, it seems that Edens Garden is committed to sourcing high-quality essential oils and is willing to go to great lengths to ensure that their products meet their standards. As an aromatherapist, I would feel confident recommending their oils to my clients.
Extraction Methods and Distillation
The three common extraction methods are:
- Steam Distillation
- Cold Press and
- Solvent Extraction
The first two yields oils that contain the pure essence of the botanical used.
Edens Garden indicates the extraction method used for each product on its page. Steam Distillation or Cold Press is the method used in an overwhelming number of cases, pointing to greater purity of the oils.
The company sources the oils from suppliers all over the world. All supplies are batch tested using GC/MS tests that can reveal the presence of all substances even if in tiny amounts.
Testing
GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectroscopy) tests can detect even tiny amounts of a substance in tested samples. The supplies received by the company and the products before being bottled undergo these tests, carried out by third party experts for each batch.
The test results are available with each product page.
Grading and Certification
Two of the essential oils, Cellulite Essential Oil Blend and Frankincense & Myrrh Essential Oil Blend, are certified organic. Other than this no other certification or grading are seen.
Product Offerings
Overview

- No synthetics, fragrances, fillers or toxic chemicals are used in these. All are natural oils.
- Batches are GC/MS tested for quality, safety and effectiveness
- The oils are from ethical and sustainable sources
Synergy Blends
Synergy blends consist of 100% pure essential oils balanced “down to the very last drop.” They are blended to contain necessary therapeutic and medicinal properties for specific purposes.
The blends range from creamy Vanilla Sandalwood ($30), a natural aphrodisiac that neutralizes emotional stress; through Age Defy ($23) a mixture of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lavender, Myrrh, Helichrysum and Rose promising a smoother and more radiant skin and Imagine ($13) for total wellbeing; to Cleaning ($7) made with Lavender, Lemongrass, Rosemary and Tea Tree with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties for cleaning your home.
Kids Oils
Consisting of both single oils and blends, the range is safe for kids. Use it for upset tummies or for easing kids into naptimes.
The oils range from Neroli Essential Oil ($75), an ingredient of the classic Eu de Cologne and distilled from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, and used for varied purposes including pain relief, relaxation, skincare and sleep; through Damiana Essential Oil ($60) used for relaxation, skincare, sleep and wellness and Blue Tansy Essential Oil ($33) for breathing, pain relief and skincare; to Blood Orange Essential Oil ($6) for pain relief and an uplifting feeling of wellness.
Roll-Ons
Roll-ons are pre-diluted essential oils with an applicator top. The applicators make it easy to use the oils with maximum ease (and also for most impact). You can apply minimal quantities of the diluted oils on your skin without the irritation that pure oils might cause, particularly if the quantity applied is a bit too much.
The roll-on range includes the Create Your Own Roll-on Essential Oil set of 12 different kinds of oils ($75) that allows you to choose 12 kinds from 53 choices including Anxiety Ease, Aphrodisiac Blend, Awake-and-Aware Blend and more; through Rose Bulgarian Essential Oil Roll-on ($20) distilled from morning-fresh roses and Yuzu Cannabliss Essential Oil Roll-on ($17) with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties; to Sniffles & Sneezes Essential Oil Roll-on ($9) that contains oils of Silver Fir, Cedarwood, Pine, Spruce, Sweet Orange and Lavender for providing relief during times of sniffles and sneezes.
Carrier Oils
Carrier oils add value to essential oils. Pure and concentrated essential oils can cause skin irritation. By adding carrier oil, this problem can be solved. Additionally, you save on the expensive essential oil by using less of it during each application.
Edens Garden offers a wide range of carrier oils from Prickly Pear Seed Oil ($40) that nourishes and softens the skin, and is particularly useful for dry, acne-prone skin; through Pomegranate Seed Oil ($17) that is excellent for moisturizing and Jojoba Oil ($14) that is great for removing makeups or revitalizing lip balms; to Hemp Seed ($9) with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties that can reinvigorate skin by clearing acne and eczema.
Sets
Buying sets, i.e. collections of different kinds of a particular product, you can save significant amounts. Carefully chosen sets can also help you meet your specific lifestyle goals and special needs.
Edens Garden has created sets for Essential Oils, Body products, Diffuser products and Home products. There is also a Create Your Own Set option.
The Create Your Own Set option ranges from the 48 Essential Oils set ($300) that allows you to select 48 kinds (from a selection of 85) oils; through Create Your Own Body Oil 5 Set ($40) and Create Your Own Natural Bar Soap 3 Set ($25); to Create Your Own Roll-on Essential Oil 3 set ($20).
