I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Pure Oakmoss Essential Oil (Evernia prunastri) with Glass Dropper, and I must say, it has been an incredibly enriching experience. This product, which comes in a 15ml (0.50 oz) high-quality amber glass bottle, is truly a gem in the world of essential oils. Its method of extraction, steam distillation, ensures that the oil retains its purity and therapeutic properties. With its botanical name, Evernia prunastri, this essential oil promises to deliver natural, undiluted, and premium therapeutic benefits, and it certainly does not disappoint.

One of the first things that caught my attention was the commitment to quality and ethical standards. Pure Oakmoss Essential Oil is 100% pure, natural, undiluted, and therapeutic grade. It is vegan, cruelty-free, not tested on animals, alcohol-free, and solvent-free. This dedication to creating a product that aligns with ethical values and high standards is something I deeply appreciate.

The oil itself ranges from dark olive-green to yellow-green in color and is commonly referred to as moss oil. It has a thick, resin-like consistency that remains solid at room temperature. This was something new for me, as most essential oils I have used in the past were more liquid. However, the instructions provided were clear and helpful. By microwaving the bottle without the plastic cap, stopper, and seal ring at the neck for a few seconds, the oil becomes more manageable and serves all intended purposes. This little trick ensures that the oil comes out fine and is easy to use.

The aroma of Pure Oakmoss Essential Oil is another aspect that sets it apart. It has a faint, earthy-mossy scent that is very true to nature. The wet forest floor aroma, with its dry, earthy, green, and bark-like qualities, is incredibly grounding and calming. The leather-like undertone adds depth to the scent, making it a unique olfactory experience. Importantly, there are no synthetic fragrances added to make the oil smell good, which means you are getting the genuine, unaltered scent of oakmoss.

Using this essential oil is straightforward, but it is crucial to follow the guidelines for safe application. The oil should not be applied directly to the skin and must be diluted with a carrier oil. For daily facial care, a 1% dilution is recommended, which equates to 5-6 drops in 30ml of carrier oil. For daily body care, a 2% dilution is suggested, which is 10-12 drops in 30ml of carrier oil. For acute care, a 3-5% dilution is advised, translating to 15-30 drops in 30ml of carrier oil. With 1ml consisting of approximately 16 drops, these guidelines are easy to follow and ensure safe usage.

A word of caution: this product does not come with a child safety cap, so it is important to keep it out of reach of children. Additionally, it should be kept away from the eyes, and hands should be washed thoroughly after handling the essential oil.

Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with Pure Oakmoss Essential Oil. The quality, ethical production, and unique aroma make it a standout product. Whether you are using it for its therapeutic benefits or simply to enjoy its natural scent, this essential oil is a fantastic addition to any collection. The 'No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee' offered for the last nine years further adds to the confidence in purchasing this product. I highly recommend Pure Oakmoss Essential Oil to anyone looking for a high-quality, natural, and ethically produced essential oil.
