I wasn't very impressed with this brand at all.
I originally bought these with the intention of using it in my DIY air freshener. I bought the Wild Orange, Lime, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Peppermint. I wasn't very impressed with this brand at all. The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle is the smell. I am used to a very potent and strong aroma which was that was not the case with this brand. Also, in my experience, undiluted essential oils feel like rubbing alcohol when it gets on the skin. That wasn't the case with the Artizen which had a more oily feeling.
Just a little story. Right after receiving these oils, I got a cold sore. I’ve learned that using Peppermint essential oil (I apply it undiluted) on a cold sore helps deactivate it must faster than Abreva. And it’s cheaper, safer, more versatile product. Anyhow, I’ve always used the Now peppermint when I get them. However, this time, I decided to try this Artizen brand on it. It barely helped, if any at all.
Anyway, I did find a good use for these oils. I use them in my DIY granite countertop cleaner. I won’t be ordering again.
I hope this helps.
