Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 YEP on the shea butter Sharon! And I need to add something I forgot - when I wrote " But as for oil " grades " they don't exist. " I was referring to essential oils specifically. In addition to the shea butter(which the testing is at the moment voluntary) olive oil is another fatty oil that is graded http://www.ams.usda.gov/standards/oliveoil.pdf *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com s-Bradley [randi1037] The only grading done that I know of is on Shea Butter unrefined Shea Butter and not all suppliers have there's tested and graded Sharon Christine Ziegler <chrisziggy wrote: Hey Marsha, We all have bad days.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 There sure are different grades of oil. If you are a wholesaler of oils and go to a big French supplier for lavender oil they will ask you " what grade " , i.e. how much linalool content, and then go make the oil to suit the price you want to pay!! Likewise there are grades of many oils particularly the citrus oils and ylang. Patchouli oil is sold dependent on its adulteration with gurjun balsam oil. Most aromatherapy suppliers never even see these different grades used by the big boys.
