FAQ

Essential Oils (Aromatherapy Oils) are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic essences of plants. The purest essential oils come from carefully cultivated and wild grown plants from climatic and geographic regions throughout the world. Essential oils should not be used directly on the skin and should be diluted with a carrier oil in order to safely use on the skin. Essential oils are great for adding a natural fragrance to cosmetic products or for improving skin conditions.

Carrier oils are also referred to as vegetable oils and base oils. They have extensive applications in Aromatherapy because they are used to dilute Essential Oils or absolutes for application. They are also used in the manufacturing of cold-process soaps and for massage by Licensed Massage Therapists. Each Carrier Oil has different properties and the choice of carrier oil can depend on the therapeutic benefit being sought.

All of our oils are 100{2887cb74fe6a16a339ee4f27dacc5611c84b9bcf8df59ed1c8e4f4387809917a} pure and natural, of highest top grade and free from any chemicals or pesticides. Although all of our products are of premium quality and organically sourced, many of our products are not certified organic. Due to the certificate being in the supplier’s name and not ours, we are unable to advertise this when we are selling a product. We are in the process of certifying our oils now that our company is a certified organic brand by CCOF. We have a few products that have the USDA organic certification and plan to bring out more.

Steam Distillation: The most common process of extracting an essential oil is by distillation, a process that isolates the aromatic, volatile element of the plant with steam.

Cold Pressed: Cold pressing is the most common process for carrier oils. The process involves pressing seeds without the use of heat in order to obtain the natural oils inside the plant.

Solvent Extraction: Flowers too delicate to be processed with heat or pressure are soaked in a spirit of solvent that extracts the volatile elements. The solvent is then evaporated at high temperatures, leaving only the most fragrant constituents behind. This process produces what is called an “absolute”.

CO2 Extraction: The CO2 extraction method yields a greater number of aromatic compounds than any other distillation process. In certain conditions at a low temperature Carbon Dioxide or CO2 can be pressurized to become a liquid. This liquid then acts as a solvent and is used to extract the oil from plants. After extraction is completed, the extraction vessel is brought back to normal temperature and the CO2 rapidly converts to gas leaving behind a high quality oil that is free of solvents.

There are many ways that essential oils can be used, the most common are massage therapy, inhalation, bathwater, diffusers, and compresses.

Massages: Massage is one of the most beneficial methods of using essential oils because it combines the therapeutic powers of the essential oil with the benefits of touch therapy.

Inhalation: Inhalation is on of the quickest ways to experience the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. This method is highly beneficial for helping respiratory ailments. Persons with asthma or epilepsy should avoid inhaling essential oil, as it may be triggering.

Baths: Adding essential oils to a hot, soothing bath can create a relaxing and therapeutic experience.

Essential Oil Diffuser: Diffusers and Aromatherapy go hand-in-hand. Adding essential oils to a diffuser effectively introduces the therapeutic properties and fragrance to any environment.

Compress: Compresses are an effective way to apply essential oils directly to areas where they are needed the most.

We have had direct buying relationships with ethical producers around the world for nearly 20 years. Our buyers regularly visit their facilities, and have the products tested by credible third party laboratories. COCOJOJO LLC continues to improve in this area and is committed to selling you the best quality therapeutic Essential Oils and Raw Materials at market leading prices.

Our Essential and Carrier Oils are pure, and in many cases, food grade. However, we do NOT recommend the ingestion of essential oils. They are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists that does not recommend ingestion of essential oils unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy as practiced in France.

We offer different varieties to customers depending on their needs. For instance, we carry Pharmaceutical Grade and Therapeutic Grade oils. Some people want the highest quality and purity, while others may want a lower quality because of the price or preference. Low grades are usually used in blends and in natural cosmetics, while the more therapeutic grades are preferred by Licensed Massage Therapists and Aromatherapists.

Although many companies would like to have direct buying relationships with top suppliers around the world, they simply do not have the necessary volume to negotiate with these suppliers. Similarly, they lack the warehousing and logistics infrastructure as well. This results in these companies having to pay a steep price for small quantities and in the end charge very high prices when selling these products. At COCOJOJO LLC we are fortunate to have the buying power of 4 offices around the world. Our buyers negotiate volume purchases during the harvest season and simple economics allows us to pass on the savings to you. COCOJOJO LLC remains committed to rolling back prices as we negotiate better volume discounts with our suppliers; as we continue to grow globally. That’s our promise to you.

Many essential oils can cause irritation to the skin when used directly. They should be blended in a carrier (vegetable) oil before being applied to the skin in a low dilution or concentration. Only Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils can be applied directly to the skin, or “neat” but it is still not recommended.

Essential oils essences are expressed directly from plants or plant parts and are all natural, whereas fragrant oils are manufactured in a lab from different aromatic chemicals.

It is recommended that oils should be stored between 0 and 20 degrees Celsius (room temperature) and out of direct sunlight. Refrigeration after opening is optimal. Our 500-ml sizes are transported in aluminum bottles to prevent breaking and spilling. Because our bottles are lined with epoxy resin, the oils may take on a change to their fragrance if not decanted into dark glass after receiving them. If not immediately decanted, they should be decanted with the top left off for a day or two so that the oil’s scent may rectify itself. On rare occasions, this will not be possible, but the effect of the oil will not be degraded.
