Mountain Rose Herbs Essential Oils

An Unsurpassable Commitment To Quality Since 1987

The essential oils offered by Mountain Rose Herbs are 100% pure steam distilled plant oils with an unsurpassable fragrance, exceptional depth, magnificent keynote, and are free of carriers, diluents and other inputs. Here you will find some of the worlds most magnificent oils from reputable distillers and suppliers we know, trust, and have a wonderful working relationship with. Mountain Rose Herbs essential oils are processed from freshly harvested material within clean distilleries, thus promising you some of the most magnificent oils available on the market. We invite you to "smell test" our line of oils with what is currently being offered in the market, and experience for yourself the unsurpassable nature of our oils.
We are so confident in the quality of our oils that we can provide gas chromatography analysis and specifications on the volatility and integrity for many of the essential oils we stock. Every essential oil offered is 100% Therapeutic Quality, except for absolutes which have been extracted by alcohol. While these make fine perfumes and have some of the most striking scents on earth, they do not qualify as "Therapeutic Grade". As per our commitment to organic agriculture, we offer one of the nations largest selections of certified organic essential oils. Considering the amount of pesticide use from the planting to the harvest, we are very concerned about the low quality and potential health hazards associated with many conventional oils.
We perform painstaking research when we decide to stock a particular distillers oil and insist on the location of harvest, methods used to extract the oils, data reports assuring the oils character, and what type of material is used in the distillation process.
All of the essential oils we stock are obtained by steam distillation of the plant's volatile oils, with two exceptions…
Absolutes/Resins- are extracted with a solvent, usually alcohol and sometimes other hydrocarbons, such as benzene, hexane, etc. While they are not suitable for therapeutic aromatherapy, they do make wonderful perfumes and are alcohol soluble.
Citrus Oils- All citrus oils offered are distilled strictly through cold pressed methods.
The absolutes that we offer have been extracted with alcohol or solvents and they have not been through the steam distillation process. While they may make exquisite perfumes they are not recommended for therapeutic application.
