A. Most Essential Oils are Steam Distilled, and all of our Essential Oils will state in the description the method of extraction.

The most common extraction methods are:

• CO2 Extraction

A. All Silky Scents Essential Oils are high quality 100% Pure and Natural, and will be listed as Organic if certified. Since many of our products come from farmer's and distillers of all sizes around the world, not all are able to pay the certification fees to be certified organic. Silky Scents imports all of our High Quality Essential Oils and Body Care Products products directly from well known farmer's and distillers worldwide and will always maintain our Quality and Sustainability standards.

The most common extraction methods are:

• Absolute:
This is an Absolute Oil. Many times distillation of a plant by steam method does not extract as much natural oil from the plant, or in some cases, breaks down the precious natural oil in delicate flowers. The solvent extraction method is often used in these cases. As a rule, absolutes are more concentrated than a similar essential oil. Therefore, an absolute goes much further than the essential oil counterpart. Silky Scents ™ Provides you the highest grade of Absolute Oils.
• Organic:
This oil is Organic. This type of Organic Oil is usually farmed organically but may not be certified, normally because there is no certifying agency in the area where it is grown. Chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers are not used. Instead the products are cultivated using traditional farming methods. Soil fertility is built; natural systems are worked with, not against; there is minimal, if any damage to the environment, and most importantly, Mother Nature is being respected.
• Wild Crafted:
Wild Crafted Oils are usually organic but not certified, normally because there is no certifying agency in the area where it is grown. Wild crafted oils are grown wild, without the use of fertilizers or pesticides - grown naturally in areas where the plants are native to the region. Not commercially.
