Natural Riches USDA Organic Frankincense Essential Oil - Boswellia Serrata, 100% Pure Natural Undiluted, Therapeutic Grade for Diffuser Aromatherapy Premium - 30 ml

I purchased NatroBliss Organic Lavender Oil based on its certification and quality guarantee. The bottle arrived well packed, and included a dropper to avoid contamination and for ease of use. It was a full 1 ounce bottle, a bargain for the size, and the scent was equivalent to the more expensive brands. I will definitely reorder from this company when I need to replenish my supply.

I have cotton balls in my cupboards. Every now and then I saturate them. I'm in the country and the bugs stay out of my food stuff. I have not needed to throw out rice, flour, etc since I have been doing this.I will sometimes dab a little on me if it is faster than going to garden for live mint. Makes pesky flies F-off.

The bottles of Natural Riches lavender oil and Cliganic jojoba oil in the attached photo were purchased on Amazon on 5/1/20. The Cliganic peppermint oil was purchased on Amazon on 8/14/20. All three arrived early or on time and in excellent condition. These oils were used together, approximately once a week since last August, so each bottle was subjected to the same amount of wear. They were kept in a medicine cabinet at room temperature the entire time. Now six months have gone by and you can see what has happened. The dropper on Cliganic's jojoba oil is leaning to one side because the plastic cap that it's set in has warped over time. It now flares outward on one side and it no longer closes properly. If jojoba oil evaporates the way other liquids do, then that is a concern, since the cap's threads are now out of alignment and it doesn't form a tight seal any more. As for Cliganic's peppermint oil, the label has disintegrated and the bottle has to be shaken vigorously in order to get the oil to start dripping out. Otherwise, when you invert it, nothing happens; the oil just stays in the bottle. Natural Riches, on the other hand, has none of Cliganic's problems. The cap on its bottle of lavender oil still fits as tightly as it did on the day I received it. Its label has remained intact and legible, and when the bottle is inverted, the oil drips out readily and at a nice frequency, making the drops easy to count. When I think about the impression Cliganic's products have made on me, the words "cheap", "careless", "slipshod" and "lazy" come to mind. Natural Riches, on the other hand, strikes me as a company that is competent, honest and worth supporting with my business. That is why my next purchases of lavender and peppermint oil will be from them. If they sold jojoba oil, I would order that from them, too, but since they don't, I'll be giving Viva Naturals' jojoba a try, instead.This review was originally written as a critique of Cliganic's oils, but I thought it might be "nice to know" information for Natural Riches and their customers, too.

Over the years, I've done a lot of research on essential oils. It can be an overwhelming minefield with a lot of misleading claims and greenwashed information. Essential oil brands are no different, and product transparency can be especially hard to come by. In the end though, I comfortably settled on Plant Therapy, and have been a loyal (but not exclusive) customer for years. I've found them to have the best quality, transparency, price and reputation of all the brands I researched.Now on to Natural Riches. I actually came across them by chance. Since I use essential oils for medicinal and cosmetic purposes, I did my due diligence and looked into them online. They have a clean, straight forward website, good reviews and competitive prices.The only disappointment was that I couldn't find information on how they source and produce their oils. Fortunately, the USDA Organic label does make me feel more confident about my purchase, but the overall lack of transparency is why I deducted a star (and contemplated deducting two). Otherwise, I'm quite happy with this oil. The aroma and consistency are more or less on par with how I know Tea Tree to smell and feel, and I've already used it in a few cosmetic recipes.I will be more likely to purchase from this company in the future if they choose to publish information about their production process.UPDATE: I went back to the company's website and found more detailed information on the individual pages of the different oils. It's definitely a step in the right direction, and much better than many other brands out there, but still missing some key elements (such as test reports) that would make me more confident in my purchase.Also, the dropper on my bottle poured the oil out super fast, which I didn't like. So I replaced it with another dropper from an older bottle, and now it's fine.

This product checked all the boxes for what my therapist told me to look for, mainly that it was therapeutic, 100% natural organic, nothing added.Only complaint is that it dispenses too fast, the dropper should be smaller to control amount being dispensed.

This stuff works great! I'm paranoid about mice especially during the colder months so I drop a few drops of peppermint oil on a cotton ball and place them around the house. No mouse in our house! I also add a few drops to a spray bottle and dilute it with water to spray around my windows and doorways. This keeps all the gross bugs out (like spiders!), they do not like the smell so I let them know they have no business being in my home and can find another home to unpack their bags. I add a couple of drops of it in my trash bags and it keeps those pesky little gnats and fruit flies away. It's a strong smell but it does go away after awhile so I don't mind. I only use this stuff to keep the bugs and mice away so I have no idea how it works for pain or anything else. Peppermint oil is godsend, goodbye nasty little critters ✌🏼.
