About Pure Oil Guide
Pure Oil Guide is a practical reference for understanding essential oils, carrier oils, and home diffusers. We focus on the questions that make a purchase easier to assess: what is in the product, what it is intended for, what the evidence can support, and what remains uncertain.
A fresh start for an older site
The site began publishing in 2015. Its older material was recovered from web archives and has now been rewritten. We retain established article addresses so readers following an older link can find the refreshed guide.
An old publication date does not mean a product recommendation remains current. Each refreshed article shows its revision date and explains the approach used.
What you will find here
- Buying guides that explain labels, categories, and practical choices.
- Research-based reviews that identify manufacturer information and limitations.
- Safety and evidence guidance that avoids turning a product advertisement into medical advice.
Who is responsible for the writing?
Current pages use the byline Pure Oil Guide Editorial. It identifies the site's editorial responsibility without claiming a medical credential or hands-on test that has not been performed. The personal biography in the original archive is not presented as the author of this revision.
Read how we research and review for our source standards and the distinction between document research and testing.
