Revive Essential Oils is an US essential oils brand that is based in San Francisco, CA 9411.
The Revive Essential Oils website does not have an About Us page and the site does not provide information about the people behind the company. The company has social media pages at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram but these also do not speak about the people.
However, company review websites indicate that Revive is a family owned company founded by people who were fed up with paying high prices for MLM products. Revive does not use MLM for marketing its products. Instead, you can buy the oils at their website for delivery to your door.
The website also has a page comparing Revive offers with the offers of the MLM players. The page starts with the statement: “Do you have a favorite blend from Young Living® or dōTerra®? Check out comparable Revive blends that are a fraction of the cost!”
The website has a Reviews page with star rating statistics (681 of the 724 reviews are five out of five stars) and videos of people talking about their experience with Revive essential oils.
Quality and Purity
The company states that all their oils are “100% pure therapeutic grade, free from any additives, adulterants, fillers, synthetics, or dilutions.”
The FAQ page mentions that every lot of essential oil and blend undergoes a battery of internal tests. The page gives a list of 20 tests that are done internally.
Additionally, the products also undergo external GC/MS testing at a reputed external laboratory.
The customer reviews do indicate that customers are happy with the quality they get. Customers can also return their purchases within 100 days for a full refund along with cost of return shipping.
Sourcing
The FAQ page provides sourcing information as follows: “REVIVE is made 100% from plants. We source these plants from around the world. We go to the best country for each specific oil to ensure we’re getting the highest quality plants. These plants are sustainably harvested from around the world and brought to the United States for quality testing before bottling.”
The product pages of essential oils at the website give details like the botanical name of the plant, the plant part from which oil was extracted and country of origin.
Extraction Methods and Distillation
The FAQ page states that most oils are extracted using steam distillation method. Citrus essential oils such as orange, grapefruit, tangerine and lemon are extracted using the cold press method. Both steam distillation and cold press yields pure oils.
Testing
The company conducts a battery of internal tests and lists 20 such tests on its FAQ page. Additionally, the oils are GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectroscopy) tested by Dr Poppas and his Essential Oil University. GC/MS tests can reveal the presence of even tiny amounts of a substance in the tested sample.
The website has a revive-gcms-reports page where the test results can be accessed.
Grading and Certification
The FAQ page has this to say about organic: “All REVIVE Oils are wildcrafted (gathered from plants that grow in the wild) or organic. That means that the seeds, planting, growing, harvesting, distilling, and bottling are performed with no pesticides and no chemicals and done organically.”
The products catalog page lists 11 essential oils (out of 116) as certified organic by USDA.
