What are essential oils?

If you’ve ever smelled a rose, peeled an orange or had mint leaves in a drink, you’ve experienced essential oils. They are the aromatic components of plants.

Since plants need to communicate with their neighbors to survive and thrive, they need to keep pests and predators away, fight off diseases and also attract the right pollinators and heal themselves from injury. These volatile aromatic components are key in serving these functions and have developed over the course of each different plants’ evolution. It’s also why they are referred to as “essential oils”. Essential oils are expressed, distilled and extracted from flowers, seeds, roots, leaves, fruit rinds and other plant material into these fragrant natural oils. These oils have been used for centuries in cooking, body and health care. Essential oils are said to contain the vital “life-force” of the plants.

These oils also contain components that have been found to be beneficial and pleasing to humans. Where once Aromatherapy was considered to be ‘fringe’, it has now become a part of complementary therapy and has been incorporated into mainstream uses by healthcare practitioners in clinics and hospitals.

The heart of rareESSENCE

From humble beginnings, rareESSENCE was born as a collaboration between its’ founders, Sherri Jobelius and Brian Paulsen. Sherri’s experience in managing one of the country’s first “natural” stores grew into a passion for essential oils. She was intrigued by how Lavender soothed a burn, Rosemary gave luster to her hair and Eucalyptus cleared a stuffy head. She dreamed of one day creating products and sharing the amazing benefits of these essential oils.

In 1996, Sherri and Brian Paulsen met, fell in love and began to collaborate on essential oil products. They shared a love of people, the natural world, healthy food, environmental sustainability and a commitment to create an enterprise that would encompass these elements. Together they resolved that they would make it their mission to create only pure, healthy products utilizing pure essential oils - free from harmful synthetic chemicals and rareESSENCE was inspired. Today, Sherri still guides this mission alongside Brian who shares in her passion for the beauty and alchemy of nature

Pure & potent. Backed by science.

rareESSENCE essential oils are subject to stringent, advanced-scientific testing by our Essential Oil Chemist to verify their superior quality, potency and purity. They are also “smell tested” by our Certified Aromatherapists to provide the ultimate aromatic experience. This testing and evaluation includes; GC - MS (Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry) Analysis, Specific Gravity, Refractive Index, Optical Rotation, Relative Density and Solubility.

GC - Gas Chromatography analysis measures the individual chemical constituents in an essential oil sample to confirm that they are representative of what that particular essential oil should actually contain.

TRUTH

QUALITY

Being transparent in all that we do, from the purity of every ingredient we use to the way we create our hand made in the USA products.

TRANSFORMATION

Helping people transform to a healthier state of being from the finest and most precious gifts nature provides.

MS or Mass Spectrometry immediately follows GC testing and analyzes all the chemical constituents to determine whether any adulterants including synthetic components, diluents, pesticides and heavy metals are present. If the sample fails any part of the test, the oil is rejected.

After the sample passes the scientific analysis, the final test is the Odor Evaluation conducted by our Cer tified Aromatherapists. Through years of experience, our experts can determine if the oil meets our uncompromising standards. Only the finest oils become rareESSENCE Essential Oils and make it into our products.

While scientific testing is critical to ensuring quality and potency, it is the relationships we’ve developed over the past twenty years with growers and distillers that eliminates intermediary handling of the oils, where adulteration could occur. We are proud to support these dedicated farmers, harvesters and distillers all over the world.

Each package features the Country of Origin and botanical species of the plant from which the oil was made. If an essential oil does not provide that information, you may be getting an oil that is adulterated or blended from many oils or not even from the actual plant you thought.

rareESSENCE is committed to providing essential oils that are pure and potent. Many essential oils that are sold today contain fillers that may compromise the potency and effectiveness. We stand behind every oil that we source and guarantee your complete satisfaction.

The Distillation Process

The distillation process is an all-encompassing term for separating the essential oil of a plant from the plant material. Different types of plants are distilled in various ways depending upon the best method to achieve the end result.

Distillation can take place at or near the point of the harvest, or in some cases, the plant material is transported to a location that is more convenient to distill or where the process can be better controlled. Rose oil is most often distilled near the fields where the harvest takes place so that only the freshest roses are used. This particular distillation must take place within 24 hours of harvest before the roses begin to ferment. Frankincense, on the other hand, is gathered in places like Somalia, and then we have it transported to France where distillation takes place under tightly controlled conditions.

It typically requires a large amount of plant material to extract even a small amount of oil, and different plants yield different amounts. It takes approximately 60 roses to produce a single drop of Rose oil. This factor, along with the amount of a certain plant grown and harvested each year, accounts for the range of pricing for oils. Crop yields vary from year to year and this can cause oil prices to fluctuate, as well. Other factors that are at play include the species of plant, growing conditions, time of harvest and the skill of the distiller. Because these are extracts from plants, the natural plant cycles and weather conditions have a great impact on the quality of oil produced. Often times, producing essential oils are compared to making wine, in that the quality of the grapes in a particular year and region affects the quality of the wine. Of course, this is also combined with the expertise of the winemaker. Certain essential oil distillers are known for their skill in making a great oil.

Water and Steam Distillation is a very old process that has largely remained unchanged for millennia. Stills have been discovered that are over a thousand years old in Arab countries, where the process is thought to originate. Although one can distill oils using a simple still in the backyard, modern distillation methods allow for more precise control of the process, ensuring higher quality oils. However, the actual process has remained largely unchanged. A liquid or solid material is heated into a vapor, then forced through plant material and subsequently cooled down to separate the oils from the vapor that returns to liquid. The liquid that is a by-product is known as a “hydrosol”.

Expression is used for citrus oils, where the essential oils are contained in the rind of the fruit. By using different means of expression, the oils can be removed from the fruit without the use of any heat. Some essential oils are degraded by heating them, so expression leaves the oils largely intact. Expression is done by breaking the small pockets of oil-filled cells in the rinds known as “flavedo”. These cells are punctured or grated to allow the oils to be released.

Hypercritical CO2 extraction is one of the most recently developed processes and uses liquefied CO2 as the “solvent” to extract the oils. This takes place at very low temperatures and very high pressure. Because there is no heat and the CO2 is inert, there is no degradation of the oils in the process, and the extraction of the oils is almost instantaneous once CO2 and the plant material come into contact. The CO2 is then removed as an inert gas, simply by lowering the pressure. This process leaves more of the various components in an oil intact, and distillers are finding ways to produce oils rich in constituents that was often lost in traditional steam distillation.

Essential Oil Safety

rSafety is one of the fundamental principles of the use of essential oils by aromatherapists and individuals. Although essential oils are derived from natural plant sources, it is still important to understand that these are extremely concentrated extracts.

Essential oils are easily absorbed into the skin and do not act like a typical fatty oil, such as olive oil. It is the ability of these oils to cross the skin barrier so readily that makes them so useful, and also why they should be respected and handled with care and some precautions.

Safety guidelines and precautions: Keep essential oils out of the reach of children and pets. Essential oils are readily absorbed into the skin and should not be put in or near the eyes, nose or other mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling essential oils. A small amount of an oil could be irritating if some is left on your fingers and you subsequently touch your eye, nose or mouth. If you did get any essential oil in your eye, immediately wash your eye with cold water for 2-5 minutes under a faucet. If the irritation continues, see a doctor or urgent care facility. If you have known allergies or very sensitive skin, you should “patch test” a small area of skin using the same dilution that you plan to use before applying to a larger area. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication you should check to make sure that the oil you are using is safe for your condition. If in doubt, do not use an oil until you are sure it is safe for you to do so.

Consult the dilution guide when using essential oils. It is better to start with less oil than more. If a particular application has a frequency of application or dosage, follow those directions. In general, increasing frequency or the number of drops does not improve the intended result.

A word about ingesting essential oils: There are a few companies selling essential oils that advocate ingesting or taking oils internally by mouth. At rareESSENCE, we do not recommend taking oils internally. While our essential oils are of the highest quality that an experienced user could ingest under the close care of healthcare practitioner, we have taken a strong stance against them being used with this method.

Some essential oils could be toxic if ingested, as they tend to accumulate in the liver. If you accidentally ingest any oil, please contact a Poison Control Center or an Urgent Care or Emergency Room for advice or treatment. Most people can experience all of the benefits of essential oils through topical application like a massage, compress, inhalation, diffuser, or a bath.

Dilution Guidelines

Essential oils are potent and require care in use. Generally, essential oils should not be applied “neat” or undiluted to the skin since this can potentially cause a severe reaction or sensitization. When applying essential oils to the skin, it’s important to dilute them in carrier oils such as jojoba or coconut oil. Keep in mind, when using essential oils, less is usually better. We highly recommend consulting your healthcare practitioner when using essential oils during pregnancy when taking medication or for children and infants under two years of age.

*Please note: Not all essential oils are safe for children. Consult a certified aromatherapist or healthcare practitioner.

FAQ

What benefits do essential oils have?

When used properly with care, essential oils can help to induce relaxation, increase energy and focus, and reduce the effects of stress, along with many other physiological and emotional benefits. In addition, scientists have discovered that these concentrated plant extracts may have other beneficial properties including anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and even anti-septic qualities. They also may have anti-spasmodic, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and carminative properties. Each oil’s chemical makeup is unique and provides different therapeutic benefits.

How do I use essential oils?

There are many uses for essential oils, including use in natural cleaning products, unscented lotions or massage oils, electronic essential oil diffusers, baths or showers, or topically when blended with a carrier oil. Each bottle of essential oil that we sell comes with an insert explaining the best uses for the specific oil and recipe ideas, along with any contraindications.

What is the difference between “Certified Organic” and “Wild-crafted” oils?

Organic Certification is a verification process that our essential oil growers and distillers go through to ensure all Organic standards are met through the full practice of producing the essential oils. This means that there are absolutely no adulterants or pesticides found in any part of the plant growing and distillation process, and the plant material has been grown and farmed organically. Each organic farm must be certified annually. Wild-crafted oils are sourced from plants that grow in the wild – these plants don’t need pesticides or fertilizers, and thus they are naturally organic. Our Rosemary oil from Tunisia is a good example of a wild-crafted plant and the resulting essential oil.

How many drops are in each bottle? How long do they last?

There are about 225-250 drops of oil in each 5 ml bottle of essential oil. In general, if stored in the amber bottles and not exposed to high heat, the oils can last at least 2 years or even longer. Citrus oils tend to not last as long as other oils. A few oils like Vetiver and Patchouli can actually improve with age. The lifespan depends on how often and how much is used, but the expiration dates depend on each essential oil – these are listed on each bottle.

How should essential oils be stored?

Essential oils should be stored in a cool, dark place such as a cabinet or closet. Our dark amber bottles help to keep light out and extend the lifespan of the oils.

Are essential oils safe for use during pregnancy?

While essential oils have many aromatherapeutic benefits, we prefer to err on the side of caution when recommending use to women who may be pregnant or nursing. We recommend a dilution of 1% or less for any topical applications including massage during pregnancy or nursing. Some experts say that you should avoid essential oils for the first trimester. For a detailed guide consult the “Pregnancy Guidelines” of the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapy.

See link here: https://naha.org/assets/uploads/ PregnancyGuidelines-Oct11.pdf

What is therapeutic grade oil? Why aren’t your oils listed as therapeutic grade?

This is a marketing term fabricated by multi-level marketing companies, and is not recognized by any national governing regulatory organization. The most respected authority on aromatherapy, the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), has clearly stated that no such “grading” of oils exists. The sourcing relationships that we have at rareESSENCE with our growers and distillers around the world ensure that we know exactly where each oil comes from and that we have full traceability for each essential oil. This allows us to offer an incredibly pure, highquality selection of organic and wild-crafted essential oils. We verify quality with 3rd party scientific testing.

While all of our essential oils are of the highest quality and purity, we always recommend that ingesting essential oils ONLY be done under the advice of a health care professional. Essential oils are extremely potent, and can be toxic if ingested improperly. When using essential oils in recipes for cooking, remember that these are extremely concentrated plant extracts and a little goes a very long way. Start with a drop or less and then add more if desired.

What is photosensitivity or phototoxicity and what oils cause it?

This is a chemically-induced skin irritation, similar to a sunburn that can be caused by certain essential oils used on the skin and then exposed to sunlight or other ultra violet light. In general, coldpressed citrus oils present the most risk for photosensitivity due to the presence of Furocoumarin or bergaptene, a naturally occurring constituent. The oil with the greatest risk photosensitivity in our line is Bergamot, while Grapefruit, Sweet Orange and Lemon have a mild risk. The “Lime Distilled” in our line is rated “very low” for photosensitivity. Mandarin presents no risk.

Are essential oils safe to use on my pet?

Many pets can be sensitive to essential oils, so we suggest practicing extreme caution - never spray or use essential oils directly on your pet. Consult your veterinarian about using essential oils in a pet-friendly household with an electronic diffuser or room mist. It is best to use the essential oils in a room before the animal enters so that there is time for the scent to dissipate slightly. Never let your pet ingest oils, as they can be especially toxic to their smaller bodies and organs.

The rareCBD Story

We’ve long believed in the power of plants and their concentrated extracts to assist in the body’s natural systems of defense and homeostasis. Over twenty years ago, we began to research how the hemp plant could be used for fiber, food and personal care products and were excited by its versatility and promise. We were first interested in hemps potential to help meet, in an ecologically sustainable way, many of our needs for fiber, oil, food and plastics. As we learned more, we became intrigued by possible health benefits afforded by the plant and the promise of this compound in hemp called cannabidiol, or CBD. In 2012 we began our investigation into CBD, excited and encouraged by the research and anecdotes that showed people were getting relief for a number of issues related to pain, anxiety, sleep and other ailments.

Being in the business of plants and essential oils, we were also intrigued by the fact that CBD and essential oils shared similar terpenes and other properties. We began exploring the potential synergy between essential oils and hemp extract. Could a certain selective combination of the two enhance the function of CBD on the body? We believed so. In anticipation of CBD becoming legal, we plowed ahead to source premium US-grown hemp-derived CBD, and began developing products to share with our customers that were in line with our highest values – quality, transformation, truth, environmental responsibility and satisfaction.

With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp CBD became legal at the federal level and the barriers that prevented us from introducing our CBD products were removed. This opened the doors for us to move forward with this line, long in development. Our new rareCBD line is the culmination of that journey. We are now thrilled to deliver our premium CBD products to you! We hope you love them as much as we do.

Why rareCBD

Farm To shelf

We are passionate about sourcing high quality ingredients and maintain close relationships with the farms and families that supply our hemp and essential oils. Supporting sustainable farming practices protects our environment and ensures premium products for your benefit.

rareCBD advantage: Retailers and customers know they are getting high quality, safe and sustainable products.

0.0% THC*

Our extraction process results in a whole-plant, broad spectrum CBD oil that is 0.0% THC. THC-containing products are problematic based on current state and federal laws. Many people simply prefer not to use THC for personal reasons. That’s why we go through the added effort to remove the THC in our hemp extract to 0.0%.

Third party lab testing reveals our CBD product to have no THC detectable at a testing level of 1-2 ppm. We are very proud of this, as it means we’re able to offer super high quality CBD with 0.0% THC*.

rareCBD advantage: By offering 0.0% THC products, we appeal to the masses, and are able to sell to more US states.

Why rareCBD

Broad Spectrum

Premium Broad Spectrum oil removes THC to 0.0%, while preserving the other naturally occurring compounds in the plant. rareCBD advantage: With our broad spectrum CBD, we offer the winning formula that the market and the law demand.

No Isolates

Our products contain no CBD isolates. CBD isolate is the single chemical compound of cannabidiol (CBD) isolated (in crystalline form), removing the other symbiotic plant compounds. CBD isolate is the cheapest form of CBD on the market, and has been increasingly scrutinized for being very close in chemical form to a drug patented by a large pharmaceutical company.

rareCBD advantage: By not using isolates, we avoid potential legal issues that may arise with changing FDA regulations.

No Claims

THC

*Please note: some drug tests are so sensitive they will pick up on trace amounts of THC or falsely identify THC (mistaking CBD for THC) on a test after someone has ingested broad spectrum CBD products. That being said, if you have to pass a drug test that screens for THC, please know you are taking a chance when using any CBD product.

We cannot and do not make any claims as to the benefit or efficacy of CBD for treating any conditions or ailments. This is because CBD is still in its infancy as a salable product, and more research and regulation is required. We urge consumers and retailers to protect themselves by carrying products that are legally compliant.

rareCBD advantage: By not making health claims, we offer legal compliance for us and our retail partners, and avoid complications that have occurred for retailers when product brands overstep their bounds in making unauthorized claims.

Compliance

Our products are manufactured in our FDA-Registered and USDA Organic Certified facility in Minnesota, ensuring safety and quality standards are followed.

rareCBD advantage: Many CBD companies lack the appropriate compliance certifications to manufacture products for health and body care. We maintain these required certifications, and take pride in our process.

Expertise

Our expertise in aromatherapy and essential oils leads us perfectly into developing premium CBD products. So does our emphasis in using high quality, organic ingredients for whole body health.

rareCBD advantage:Years of experience in essential oils, expert staff and a commitment to service lends trust in our products and our name.

Organic

Our Body Oil Spray, Body Oil Roll-On, and our Body Butter are organic certified to the “Made with Organic” category, and have at least 94% organic ingredients. The hemp farms we source from at rareCBD practice an organic cultivation and handling system plan, and are in the process of becoming organic certified. Of course the process of achieving certification takes time. We are very proud to have achieved the “Made with Organic” status for our CBD products, and we are committed to producing clean, green, sustainable, US-made CBD products for the benefit of our people and our planet. This speaks to the integrity and quality of our products. Read the ingredient list – you’ll see how clean our products are!

rareCBD advantage: Many CBD brands claim organic but lack the certification to back it up. We’ve gone through the organic certification process with a USDA Organic Certifier, so you know you’re getting what’s on the label. This lends confidence to retailers and consumers alike

Made in USA

Our hemp is grown and extracted in the USA. All of our products are made in the USA. Furthermore, we make our own products! No white labels here.

rareCBD advantage: Many CBD brands are purchasing white labeled products from suppliers, slapping a cute label on them, and calling them their own. Not us. We formulate and make our own products, giving us control over every step of the process.

Hemp Derived

Our CBD is derived from hemp and hemp alone.

rareCBD advantage: Federal laws permit extracting CBD from hemp (and not marijuana). Though, in marijuana-friendly states, businesses are extracting CBD from marijuana and peddling their products nationally. With us, you can rest assured that we are producing product from legally grown hemp alone.

Third-Party Lab Testing

Every product batch is tested by a third-party lab, and comes with a complete Certificate of Analysis, demonstrating the safety, purity and quality of the product.

rareCBD advantage:Our products have been formulated for CBD concentrations that consumers demand, based on market research.

Suggested Use

Everyone’s body is different, and our varying physiology and genetic make-ups influence how our bodies process, absorb, and utilize different compounds. This is also true for CBD. We recommend you start gradually, using small amounts daily, and at regular intervals, to see how your body responds. We adopt the adage, “start low and go slow”. Importantly, we also encourage all consumers to do their own research when it comes to using CBD. We advise you use CBD products under the guidance of a physician if you have a medical condition, are pregnant or lactating.

rareCBD advantage:Our approach to suggested use encourages individual responsibility and supervised use when appropriate, prioritizing and protecting the consumer and the retailer alike.

What is CBD?

CBD is short for Cannabidiol, and is one of over 100 phyto (plant-based)-cannabinoids found in hemp or cannabis plants, and is being studied for numerous health benefits.

Our CBD is derived from legal hemp, and contains 0.0% THC. So, you don’t get any high sensations from our products.

Is CBD Legal?

Until recently, hemp and many products made from hemp, like CBD, were illegal in the United States despite their nonintoxicating properties. With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp CBD became legal at the federal level, and the barriers that prevented us from introducing our CBD products were removed. This opened the doors for us to move forward with this line, long in development.

There are, however, still some states that have more stringent hemp policies than those granted by the Farm Bill. Please check with your local, state regulations to ensure compliance.

“We are very excited about the recent legislation that enables so many people to have access to CBD, and all its promise.”

THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM & CBD

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

IMMUNO-PROTECTIVE

ENDOCRINE BALANCING ENDOCRINE BALANCING

The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is a biochemical system that works like an operating system in the body. The ECS maintains homeostasis. In other words, this system keeps the body balanced. The CBD molecule works within the ECS, and regulates signaling activity across numerous functional regions of the body.

The ECS & CBD

CB1 & CB2 receptors are found throughout the body, and help to regulate numerous body functions, including appetite, digestion, pain, inflammation, mood, sleep, and more. These receptors receive signals from internal (endogenous) and external (exogenous) sources.The CBD molecule is similar to important ECS neurotransmitters, and interacts with CB-1 and CB-2 receptors in our body, supporting the function of the endocannabinoid system.
