Essential Oils

Collection: Essential Oils

Hi friend! I am glad you are here...

As you know, I’m passionate about natural living & love incorporating essential oils into our family’s daily routine. I use Rooted For Good Essential Oils because they’re Therapeutic Grade, Third-Party Tested, & completely free from any new age spiritual affiliations—just pure, purposeful wellness for everyday life.

What is "therapeutic grade" & why is it important?

"Therapeutic Grade" refers to essential oils that are pure, unadulterated, & sourced with care. While it's not a regulated term, high-quality therapeutic oils are typically:

  • Steam distilled or cold-pressed without chemicals
  • Free from additives, fillers, or synthetic ingredients
  • Sourced from plants grown in their natural habitat
  • Third-party tested for purity and potency

Choosing therapeutic grade essential oils ensures you're getting pure, high-quality oils that are safe, effective, & free from fillers or synthetic additives—making them better for both your body & your overall wellness.

What does Third-Party Tested mean for Essential Oils?

Third-party testing means that an independent, unbiased lab analyzes the essential oil to verify its purity, quality, & safety—not just what the company claims.

Why It’s Important:

  • Confirms the oil is 100% pure & free from synthetic additives or contaminants
  • Verifies potency—so you know the oil contains the beneficial compounds you're paying for
  • Ensures the oil meets industry standards for therapeutic use

In short, third-party testing gives you peace of mind that you're using a truly safe & effective essential oil.

How do I use Essential Oils?

Topical Application: Dilute 1 drop of essential oil with 1 drop of carrier oil & apply to desired areas as needed. Always dilute appropriately when applying to children. 

Aromatic Use: Diffuse 4–5 drops for up to 1 hour, up to 3 times daily. Enjoy the uplifting & purifying benefits of essential oils as they refresh your space & support overall well-being.

Are essential oils safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Essential oils can be used during pregnancy & breastfeeding—but with extra caution & only under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

During Pregnancy:

  • Stick to gentle oils like Lavender, Chamomile, Frankincense, &Citrus oils
  • Avoid oils known to stimulate the uterus or cause contractions (e.g. Clary Sage, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Wintergreen)
  • Always use proper dilution (typically 1% or less) &avoid applying near the abdomen in the first trimester
  • Diffusing is generally considered safer than topical use

While Breastfeeding:

  • Use only mild, baby-safe oils
  • Avoid applying oils directly to the chest where the baby may come into contact
  • Monitor for any skin reactions or sensitivity in both mom & baby

As with all things during this season, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider—especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking medications.

Customer Reviews

  • Tried out the Refuge oil, which is the same as "thieves" oil from other companies. It works great to diffuse, adding to liquid hand soap, and for creating cleaning sprays. The smell is authentic and just what I was hoping for. Worth every penny for a really good, clean product!

  • I'm loving the Lavender Essential Oil. The scent is not over powerful and has a lovely scent. It's help me sleep every time I apply it.

  • This is one of my favorite Essential Oils. I use it everyday in my Rooted AromaCloud diffuser. The scent lasts all day and has become the scent the kids come home from school too. They love it! You can't go wrong with this one, it's not too strong just the perfect smell.
