At Sassy Organics, we’re all about curating a selection of organic oils that are chosen for their purity, certification and ethical sourcing rather than getting bogged down in bulk or discount-first approaches.

Essential oils are derived from plants using methods like steam distillation or cold pressing, ensuring their natural botanical origin and purity. Every bottle represents our commitment to quality - we’d rather do a few things really well than lots of things half-asked.

When purchasing essential oils, it is important to look for products that are 100% pure and free from synthetic fragrances or fillers, as these can be harmful to health.

Ausganica certified organic and Acacia Aromatherapy essential oils are certified organic, meeting the tough Australian Certified Organic (ACO) standards. Certified organic essential oils are free from synthetic pesticides and herbicides, ensuring that no harmful chemicals are concentrated in the final product.

Absolute Essential essential oils are made in New Zealand with high-quality organic and sustainable practices, and a focus on exceptional purity in every product.

Our product listings give you all the details including:

• Full botanical name (e.g. Lavandula angustifolia for lavender oil) – look for clear labelling that indicates the botanical name and confirms the oil is 100% pure, avoiding any synthetic fragrances or fillers

• Extraction method (most of the time it’s steam distillation or cold pressing, but it’s good to know)

• Country of origin

• Relevant certifications

Extraction methods like steam distillation and cold pressing help preserve the natural aroma and beneficial properties of the plants.

You can choose from singles, blends, kits and roller bottles designed for specific needs like sleep support, stress relief, mental focus, hormonal and emotional balance, and natural cleaning.

Our essential oils: 100% pure, natural & ethically sourced

Pure essential oils don't contain any synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, mineral oils or petrochemical solvents. Unlike fragrance oils - which are made up in a lab - genuine plant oils capture the real essence of nature - concentrated aromatic compounds that are extracted directly from plants using steam distillation or cold pressing.

Sassy Organics partners with reputable aromatherapy brands that provide:

• Batch testing through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) - fancy science stuff

• Traceability from raw ingredients to finished product - we want to know where our stuff comes from!

• Transparent ingredient info on every bottle - no surprises here

Ausganica, Acacia Aromatherapy essential oils, and Absolute Essential essential oils all hold certified organic status. Absolute Essential oils, produced in New Zealand, also focus on purity and sustainable sourcing. All are ethically sourced and free from nasty additives.

A word of caution: Watch out for vague claims like “therapeutic grade”, which can sometimes be misleading.

If the price is way too good to be true, it probably is. At Sassy Organics, we steer clear of this stuff and only stock the good stuff that meets our super strict criteria.

Popular essential oils & their everyday uses

Different essential oils have different scents and benefits for mood, skincare, hair care and home care. Essential oils can be used in various ways, including aromatherapy, topical application, and even household cleaning. Here’s a little guide to help you use essential oils effectively in your daily life.

Essential oils have been used since ancient times for their healing properties, with records dating back to 1800 BCE, where they were utilised to strengthen immunity and promote healing.

When inhaled, scent molecules from essential oils travel to the brain's limbic system, which regulates emotions and physiological functions. Certain essential oils, such as lavender, can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, illustrating the wide therapeutic benefits of essential oils.

Lavender essential oil

• Scent: Floral and herb-y, super calming

• Benefits: Helps with sleep, reduces anxiety, gentle on skin – discover more benefits and uses of lavender essential oil

• Uses: Add a few drops in the diffuser at bedtime, make some pillow sprays or enjoy in an evening bath to support better sleep and reduced anxiety - pure bliss

Eucalyptus essential oil

• Scent: Fresh, invigorating and a bit camphor-y

• Benefits: Supports clear breathing and seasonal comfort, might help with inflammation

• Uses: Perfect for steam inhalations during colds and bathroom diffusers

Lemon essential oil

• Scent: Zesty, uplifting and super fresh

• Benefits: Mood lifter, natural antibacterial properties

• Uses: Kitchen diffusers, surface cleaning blends with vinegar and water

Peppermint essential oil

• Scent: Chilling, fresh as mint, invigorating

• Benefits: Boosts mental clarity and concentration

• Other Uses: Study areas, foot baths (mix only 1-2% in distilled water, always!)

Tea tree essential oil

• Scent: Medicinal and pungent, like camphor

• Benefits: Natural antibacterial qualities make it a mood-booster for skin and scalp

• Uses: Spots on your skin or scalp, natural all-purpose cleaners, and comes from a tree in Australia - Melaleuca alternifolia

Other oils worth checking out: frankincense (great for meditation and skin regeneration), sweet orange (elevates your mood), rosemary (gives a cognitive kick), clary sage (helps your body cope with hormonal swings).

A word of caution: Always mix essential oils with carrier oils before applying to skin or your body.

Essential oils 101: how to use them safely at home

Since essential oils are seriously concentrated (think 100 times stronger than dried herbs), they get special treatment. Essential oils can be combined with carrier oils or other ingredients to create custom mixtures for various purposes, such as skincare, aromatherapy, natural essential oil perfume, and household cleaning.

When you have kids around, pets, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, take extra care.

Common ways to use them

Sassy Organics keeps a large selection of carrier oils from organic farms that are perfect for mixing your essential oils with - for massage, face masks or any other skincare routine.

How much to mix

• Face: 1-2% dilution (Aim for 6-12 drops per ounce of carrier oil)

• Body: A 2-3% dilution is fine (check the bottle though - some oils can be really strong!)

• Don't forget: Do a patch test on your inner arm, wait 24 hours to see if your skin reacts

• One more thing: Don't even think about ingesting them unless you're under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

Some oils have strict 'don't use during pregnancy' or 'avoid with babies' labels - Sassy Organics product pages point out this stuff for you.
