1. DOES THE THICKNESS OR THINNESS OF THE OIL AFFECT THE QUALITY OR SCENT INTENSITY OF THE OIL?

No. Thickness or thinness has absolutely nothing to do with oil quality or scent intensity. For example,Egyptian Musk is traditionally the thickest oil, but has a very mild fragrance. In contrast, SudaneseCoconut has a very thin consistency, but also has an extremely strong fragrance. The notion that thickeroil is synonymous with more intensely scented oil is a misconception. Only a handful of oils are thick,while most oils have a thin consistency.

2. WHY DO MANY COMPETITORS OR VENDORS SELL OILS VERY INEXPENSIVELY, WHILE OUR PRICES AREHIGHER THAN MOST?
There are different grades of oils-the cheaper the grade, the less expensive the oil. “Grade A” oils,which are the only oils we sell, are the finest quality oils to be found, thus they are a bit more expensivethan lower grades. Think of it like buying orange juice - concentrated orange juice is much lessexpensive than pure orange juice. Therefore, the old adage holds: “You get what you pay for!”

3. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERFUME OIL, FRAGRANCE OIL, AND BODY OIL?
Unfortunately, all of these descriptions have been used to describe one single product, which hascreated confusion for the consumer. There are basically two types of oil. The first type is any oil thatcan be used on the body. The second type is oil that is not meant for the body and must be used only foranother primary use (for example, creating candles and soaps). Unfortunately, many oils that are notmeant for the body are being sold as body oils. Though these oils will usually not cause any harm to thebody, they are cheap and made of an inferior grade of oil. The consumer should not be concerned withthe description or identification of the oil. The emphasis should instead be on knowing whether the oilis meant for the body.

4. WHY DOES THE COLOR OF OIL SEEM TO CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME?
Depending on the season, oils will differ in color because of the crop season; since most oils havenatural ingredients, the time of year they are created will have bearing on the color. For example, anapple grown in May is not going to have the same color as an apple grown in December.

5. WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF YOUR OILS?
Since our oils do not contain any alcohol or water, the problem of evaporation does not exist. As long asthe oils are kept away from extreme heat and sunlight, they will last an extremely long time. The onlydetail that may change is the color. Some oils even develop a deeper scent over time, which is calledmarrying or maturing. We have had oils here for over ten years, and they still maintain their richnessand strength.
