Essential Oils offered
by Mountain Rose Herbs

Suppliers of bulk organic herbs, teas and essential oils

The essential oils offered by Mountain Rose Herbs are 100% pure steam distilled plant oils – from first distillations only. They have an unsurpassable fragrance, exceptional depth, magnificent keynote, and are free of carriers, dilutents and other inputs. Only reputable distillers and suppliers that are known and trusted are used. The oils are processed from freshly harvested material within clean distilleries, thus promising some of the most magnificent oils available on the market. All of the essential oils stocked are obtained by steam distillation of the plant's volatile oils except:

The Absolutes/Resins which are extracted with a solvent, usually alcohol and sometimes other hydrocarbons, such as benzene, hexane, etc.

The Citrus Oils which are distilled strictly through cold pressed methods.

Mountain Rose Herbs is committed to organic agricultural practices, and offers one of the nation’s largest selections of essential oils True Certified Organic by OTCO. When not certified organic, the oils are tested free of pesticide and chemical residues. Painstaking research is performed before deciding to stock a particular distiller’s oil. Deciding criteria includes:

• The location of harvest
• Methods used to extract the oils
• Data reports assuring the oils character
• Type of material that is used in the distillation process

Gas Chromatography analysis and specifications on the volatility and integrity for many of the essential oils stocked can be provided upon request. Every essential oil offered is 100% Therapeutic Quality, except for absolutes. While these make fine perfumes, they do not qualify as ‘Therapeutic Grade.’

If you're new to the practice of using essential oils and are unsure where to start, consider beginning with a good basic set of oils. Because they are so versatile yet economical given their range of uses, the following oils are good choices:

• Peppermint
• Lavender
• Lemon
• Tea Tree
• Frankincense

Then build your personal apothecary by adding a few new oils each month. Soon, you’ll have a variety of oils readily available to meet your needs. Some of the more versatile oils – like those listed above – you may use daily. Others, though used less frequently, you’ll be glad you have when you need them.
