#NOWLEDGE: Organic essential oils are not new to us! For over 25 years(‼️) we have taken the quality and safety of our oils very seriously, and we continue to take great pride in ensuring that every oil we produce is brought to you in a manner that’s scientifically and environmentally responsible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So how does NOW® Solutions consistently assure the identity and purity of our essential oils? How do we protect you, the consumer, and ensure you’re getting the product you paid for? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We utilize state-of-the-art testing and analysis as well as numerous checks and balances, including: 🌱Identity and purity testing 🌱Use of The Essential Oils compendium by Ernest Guenther, Ph.D. and Fenaroli’s Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, edited by George A. Burdock, Ph.D., to verify the correct essential oil species 🌱Supplier/grower track record of providing high quality materials 🌱Aroma comparisons 🌱Review of essential oil processing to ensure that appropriate extraction methods are used 🌱Appropriate cautionary and regulatory language ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because identity and purity are key attributes of any essential oil, testing for these attributes is the best way to ensure an oil’s quality. At NOW® Solutions our identity and purity testing program consists of four individual tests. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The combination of: 🌱gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 🌱infrared spectroscopy 🌱refractive index 🌱specific gravity and the ability to perform these sophisticated tests in-house and on-demand, provides NOW® Solutions and our customers with powerful assurance of the identity and purity of our essential oils. These tests are performed on all of our essential oils. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Combining the results of all these techniques enables the chemist to achieve a complete characterization of the essential oil. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #essentialoils #organicessentialoils #nowessentialoils #nowfoods #aromatherapy #bloomconcept #nowfoodssg #officialdistributor (at Asia/Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fn9TinmEH/?igshid=s1ydob0mfww
