Q: What’s the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?
A: 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.
(top)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.
(top)Q: Do you sell pure essential oils for aromatherapy professionals?
A: Our roll-ons are very suitable for professional use as they are derived from oils certified pure and diluted just enough for safe application directly on the skin. Applying the roll on applicator to numerous clients, may however pose sanitation concerns. We recommend that the oil first be applied to the therapists hand or finger tip then transfered to the client. Wash your hands between repeated application. It is also possible to carefully remove the roll-on top to use larger amounts of the oil. Be aware that the cap to the roll-on is only leak resistant when the ball componant is in place.
(top)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.
