Pura oil

Types of pura oils

Pura oil is a skin care product with various applications. It is available in different types to suit various preferences. Some are listed below.

• Pura Diffuser Oils

  Pura diffuser oils are fragrant. They contain natural plant extracts like lavender, lemon grass, and eucalyptus. These oils are for aromatherapy. Users inhale the pleasant scent from the diffuser. The diffuser spreads the oil into the air. This helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Some oils have a fresh or fruity scent.

• Pura Roll-on Oils

  Pura roll-on oil has a unique top. It has a small ball that rolls. Users can roll the oil directly onto the skin. The oil is a blend of natural extracts. It is for spot therapy and aromatherapy. It is easy to use and carry about. Some roll-on oils have a sweet smell. This makes them pleasant to use.

• Pura Essential Oils

  Pura essential oils are highly concentrated. They come from plants and have strong scents. They are for aromatherapy, massage, and bathing. Some oils have healing properties. They help to ease headaches, reduce stress, and improve mood. Examples are lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus oils. Users must dilute the oil before applying it to the skin. This is because the concentrated oil can cause irritation.

• Pura Oil Blends

  Pura oil blends combine different essential oils into one bottle. The makers of these blends mix the oils to get a balanced scent and effect. Some common blends are lavender and chamomile for relaxation, or peppermint and eucalyptus for invigoration. Using oil blends is easier than buying single oils. Users only need to apply one product to get the benefits of several oils.

How to choose pura oils

• Pricing

  Pura oils come at different price points depending on the brand and quantity. Buyers should establish their budget limits and shop within those limits. It is important to note that higher-priced pura oils are usually of superior quality. Therefore, while sticking to a budget, one should also ensure the chosen oil's price corresponds to its quality.

• Intended use

  What will the pura oil be used for? Is it for diffusing, topical application, or cleaning? This information will help buyers choose the most suitable type. For instance, some oils are specifically meant for diffusing and may not be suitable for topical application. Also, some cleaning pura oils can be too harsh on the skin when applied topically.

• Brand reputation

  There are many brands and manufacturers of pura oils. However, not all offer quality products. That is why it is important to choose brands and manufacturers known for producing quality pura oils. This information can be easily obtained online by reading previous customer reviews and feedback. The information will help buyers make informed decisions.

• Quality

  Always choose high-quality pure oils. After all, they are the only ones that offer benefits and value for money. The quality of pura oil can be judged from its price, packaging, and brand reputation. Generally, high-quality pura oils come highly recommended, are a bit pricey, and have a glass packaging to ensure they are not affected by light.

• Quantity and concentration

  Pura oils are available in different concentrations and quantities. Buyers should choose the quantity and concentration that will suit their needs the best. For instance, individuals who use pura oils for personal use can purchase small packs. On the other hand, businesses and individuals who use the oils in large quantities should purchase larger packs.

How to use, install and product safety

How to use

• Skin: They should be applied to clean, slightly damp skin, starting with a small amount. For purifying oils, begin with a single drop on the forehead and spread evenly over all the skin. For radiant oils, a gentle upward massage is applied to the face, neck, and neckline.
• Hair: Apply a small amount of purifying or nourishing oil to the tips of clean, dry, or damp hair. A single drop is enough for short hair, while two drops are enough for medium hair and three for thick and long hair. Spread evenly and do not rinse.
• Bath: Apply 5 to 10 drops of aroma oil to the bath water. The water should be at a temperature of 35 to 37 degrees Celsius for a relaxing bath, 37 to 39 degrees Celsius for a stimulating bath, and 39 to 41 degrees Celsius for a detoxifying bath.

Installation

• There is no specific installation required for applying pure essential oils. They are ready for use as soon as they are opened.

Product Safety

• Purity: Check the label for 100% pure essential oils. Avoid synthetic additives or diluted brands. The best-quality oils are labeled as therapeutic or food grade. Oils with a chemical name or number instead of a name are generally synthetic and should be avoided.
• Packaging: Quality essential oils should be stored in dark glass bottles, not plastic ones. Clear glass bottles with droppers or tops are also unsuitable. Essential oils are light-sensitive and will lose their therapeutic properties if exposed to light. Plastic bottles should be avoided because essential oils break down plastic over time, contaminating the oil and making it unusable. Essential oils should be stored in dark glass bottles with tight-sealing lids to prevent evaporation and contamination from oxygen. Quality oils are often sealed with a dropper insert or cap that should never be removed.
• Price: Quality essential oils are not cheap. If the price seems too good, the oil is probably not pure or of low quality. Low-quality oils may be partially diluted with cheaper oils to save money. This dilution reduces the oil's effectiveness and may introduce other cheap, low-quality, contaminated, or synthetic oils that compromise the quality of the whole oil. Only buy essential oils that are fully pure and not diluted with other cheaper oils to save money. Dilution reduces the oil's effectiveness and may introduce other cheap, low-quality, contaminated, or synthetic oils that compromise the quality of the whole oil.
• Certificates of analysis: Look for essential oils that have undergone third-party testing for purity and quality and have the results made available to customers. Companies that test their oils will provide proof of purity and quality. The most reputable testing companies are the International Standards Organization (ISO), the European Pharmacopeia (EP), and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). These organizations test the oils against the standards set by the above organizations. The results are compared to determine the quality and purity of the oils.

Q&A

Q1. Where should pure essential oils be stored?

A1. Pure essential oils should be stored in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. These are the main enemies of essential oils, as they will make the oils lose their smell and health benefits over time. The oils should be stored upright on a shelf or in a drawer. Essential oils should not be stored in the bathroom because the humidity and heat from showers and baths will damage the oils. A bedroom or closet is a better choice. Essential oils should be kept in glass containers with tight-fitting lids. Plastic will break down over time and leak. Glass bottles will keep the oils pure for as long as possible.

Q2. How long do pure essential oils last?

A2. The shelf life of essential oils depends on the type of oil. Citrus oils like lemon and orange expire the fastest. They last about 1 to 2 years. This is because they oxidize quickly. Oils from flowers and spices like lavender, rose, eucalyptus, and peppermint have an average shelf life of 3 to 5 years. Wood and resin oils such as frankincense, myrrh, and cedarwood can last up to 10 years or longer. This is because they are less likely to oxidize over time. How the oils are stored also affects how long they last. Keeping them in a cool, dark place will help them last as long as possible.

Q3. How can you tell if an essential oil is expired?

A3. There are a few ways to tell if an essential oil has expired. The biggest clue is the smell. Good quality essential oils should smell just like the plant it came from. If the oil has lost its scent or smells different, it may be old. Some oils change color as they age. They go from clear to yellow or brown. This is especially true for citrus oils that oxidize when exposed to air. Over time, oils can also get bubbles or foam in them. This happens as oxygen causes reactions in the oil. If the oil has changed smell, color, or has bubbles, it is best to throw it out. While expired oils may still be safe on your skin, they won't give you the same health benefits as when they were fresh.
