Question 1

Is this pure Sandalwood? Or is it a percentage?

Accepted Answer

I rarely leave reviews, unless a product either blows my mind or is so terrible as to offend, and I came here because of the former and happened to see the answers to this question.

This is literally the best Sandalwood for the price that I've found, not to mention every other oil I've purchased from them has been top notch. Gya Labs is now my go to for essential oils. I'm wearing a blend right now comprised of their oils and it smells AMAZING. I've had so many compliments on it.

Marjoram!? Either that person got a mislabeled bottle or they need their sniffer checked.

Am I silly enough to think this .33ml bottle is 100% pure undiluted maximum grade S. Album... No. S. Album is expensive due to it's status where it comes from, how long it takes to grow/harvest, etc... Even top grade Australian Sandalwood is hella pricy.

Is it diluted with carrier oil? Most likely. Is it blended with other Sandalwoods? Possibly. Is it the best smelling Sandalwood I've found for the price? Absolutely. Could I be wrong on any of this? Likely, I'm not a botanist or expert on essential oils. I just know it smells amazing, blends well, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.

Question 2

I read something about the only way to extract vanilla is with chemical solvents. Does this use that method?

Accepted Answer

The "chemical solvent" used to extract many things is alcohol. The same exact stuff you drink. Same stuff in your kombucha. Water is also called the "universal chemical solvent" because of its wide use for this purpose. (But it doesn't work for some things, including vanilla.) Don't be afraid of the word "chemical" without understanding what it means.  Not all chemicals are bad, and for those that are, it's still entirely dose dependent.  Even too much water will kill you.  On the other hand, chemistry is intimately connected with life itself (biochemistry.)

Question 3

Is there a carrier oil or anything else used

Accepted Answer

All of our Gya Labs essential oils are pure quality essential oil with no carrier oil added.

Question 4

What other oils are included in the "pure oil" statement?    Answers very carefully, "pure oil" but does not say "pure rose oil".   Please clarify.

Accepted Answer

Many times when "pure oil" is stated, it means that the amount of that particular oil that is added, is in fact pure. It's kinda tricky, but even with cooking oils ie pure corn oil does not mean the 16oz bottle you purchased is only corn oil. It simply means that what corn oil amount is added to the bottle...is pure. Only reason I know this is because I work in the food industry. Hope this helps everyone including the sellers. They aren't lying when they say pure, they're simply stating with- in the legal guidelines.
