Sacred Soul - Essential Oil Charts - Chemical Constituents
The below table shows you an approximate chemical composition range of some of the key constituents of each oil. Please bear in
mind this is a very approximate guide and there are lots of different factors that can affect the chemical makeup of an oil. Just
because it doesn't fit neatly into one of the below specs, doesn't mean it is a poor oil. Also there will be many more chemical
constituents that are present in each oil and this will contribute to the unique properties of that particular batch of oil. If the company
provides GC/MS testing attributed to the batch then this will show you exactly what your oil is made up of so you can make an
informed decision.
This table is just intended as a reference point to help you better identify and choose your oils based on the chemical constituents
commonly associated and found in that oil when reading GC/MS reports.
