The essential oils of ESENTIAL’ARÔMS are high-quality products, 100% pure and natural due to their selection, manufacturing and control processes.
An E.O.B.B.D. essential oil, meaning an Essential Oil Botanically and Biochemically Defined, is a 100% pure and natural essential oil obtained by steam-dragging distillation (without using chemicals for extraction) and is subject to strict quality controls. There are no added colors and they are not deterpenated, rectified nor re-distilled.
SELECTION OF E.O.B.B.D. ESSENTIAL OILS
The essential oils offered by Esential’Arôms are classified as Essential Oils Botanically and Biochemically Defined (E.O.B.B.D.). This means that each oil has been selected according to the following parameters:
1. Plant species: all plants used are botanically classified, so we can undoubtedly inform about any plant species using the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
2. Producing organ (p. o.): not all parts of the plant have the same composition, so it is necessary to choose the organ (root, seed, leaves, etc.) that, once distilled, will have the characteristic substances.
3. Biochemical specificity (b. s.) or CHEMOTYPE: once the essential oil is distilled, it is necessary to verify its chemical composition, that will characterize its use. To check the correct biotype, it is performed an analytical control by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrophotometry.
4. Biotype: depending on the habitat where the species grows (terrain, altitude, etc.), the essential oil composition can vary, so verifying chemotypes is essential.
