Aromatherapy Mists

Don’t be fooled! Many companies that claim to offer “aromatherapy” use proprietary perfumes or fragrances. These fragrances are more often than not just cheap, synthetic imitations of authentic, and usually expensive, essential oil essences. Chemically-based fragrances may have detrimental effects on the body as many people find themselves allergic to often overpriced perfumes. By contrast, the essential oils used in Good Witch’s Brew products, possess emotional and physiological attributes that have benefited mankind for thousands of years.

True aromatherapy may only be effectively and safely practiced with the upfront disclosure of all essential oils used in the product. That’s why our product labels list all essential oil ingredients rather than attempting to hide a secret formula. Any product label that states the use of “fragrances” or “essential oils” without full definition most likely contain perfumes and/or a solvent based cut to lower production costs.

Q: Are your oils certified?
A: Yes! Our trusted suppliers can provide us with certificates of spectrum analysis on all oils delivered to us for use in our products. This means that the oils we buy are free of any significant chemical contamination, synthetic perfumes, or terpine cuts.

Q: Why do you use grain alcohol in your mists?
A: We use grain alcohol as an alternative to common ethyl alcohols to preserve our mists, act as a skin toner, and assist with atomization. Without it, essential oils would become stale and there would be a risk of bacterial growth.

Q: Why do your roll-ons contain jojoba oil?
A: Pure essential oils are extremely concentrated and should not be applied directly to the skin. Our roll-ons are a mixture of pure skin conditioning jojoba and essential oil to be applied directly to the skin as a perfume. Jojoba is unique in that it is one of the few vegetable oils that have indefinite shelf life in liquid state. We use this very expensive oil instead of more common mineral oil because we believe it is much healthier for your body.

Q: Do your spritzers / sprays only come in the blue bottles?
A: We use colored glass bottles to preserve the integrity of the essential oils within. Any time you see an aromatic spray that's in a clear bottle, question the ingredients because the product is most likely a perfumed synthetic fragrance product. Some manufacturers use lightweight aluminum bottles, but we've noticed they have a "cheap" and top heavy feel as they become close to empty.

Q: Do you sell pure essential oils for aromatherapy professionals?
A: Not any more. At one time we did sell our 8 signature blends in pure form for room diffusers etc., but we've temporarily discontinued this because we feel our roll-ons will be more useful to "most" of our customers. If you still wish to purchase our oil blends undiluted, please give me a call. Other essential oil providers are much more efficient at supplying single note oils. Please look to our "Resources" page for suggested vendors.

Q: How long does the scent last?
A: The roll-ons offer a more concentrated long lasting aroma and may be used as a perfume. The spray mists offer a lighter scent over all as they are intended to be applied over larger areas as a body spray or room freshener. The spray scent will therefore dissipate more quickly with only a hint of the essence apparent after an hour or two. Citrus and mint scents tend to "flash off" more quickly than heavy oils like patchouli and lavender.
