Does more expensive always mean better?

NO!!  Not all essential oils are created equally, but more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better.  You do have to pay for quality BUT, purchasing the most expensive oil you can find is not always a necessary choice.  You need to do your research, or seek the advice of a trained professional.  Look for a supplier who offers pure, undiluted, organic essential oils, and make an informed choice from there. 

Don’t overpay unnecessarily!!  Here’s an example of just how overpriced a product can be if customers are willing to pay the price.  A particular blend I found online from a fairly well-known company lists their 15ml blend at $50.99.  Using the brand of oils I know and trust instead, as an aromatherapist, I can blend this synergy myself, and make any adjustments needed to suit a particular client.  I have priced it out.  Even after marking up the cost of the synergy to a retail price to sell to customers, I can sell a 15ml bottle for ….are you ready??  For $20 - $25!!! 

Please also keep in mind that if your intention is simply to use essential oils in cleaning products, there are lower grade oils that can be purchased for these purposes at lower prices.
