NOW product line

[Guest guest]

I saw the NOW products in a GNC store. There were carrier oils, eo's

and shea butter. Just wondering if anyone has ever used them and what

their thoughts are. Susan

Hi, Susan (love that name, BTW :-)

 

I've never used the carrier oils, but from years of absorbing info from

lists like this one, and after a very brief dabbling with some popular lines

from health food chains, my experience is that oils from individual sellers

that you trust are always a better bet. Individual retailers are relying on

their reputation and word-of-mouth for their livelihood, unlike the big name

brands who rely on mass production and mass marketing, and product placement

in popular venues. Their business plans tend to emphasize low cost and high

profit margin, while individual sellers concentrate more on product testing

and quality, and a lower profit margin. This list has a number of VERY

reputable purveyors of all things oily (who I won't name for fear of leaving

some out!) and you probably already know them anyway.

 

Specifically, the two NOW brand oils I bought smelled nothing like the

versions that I later bought from people I trusted. Same goes for 2 of the

3 Aura Cacia oils I started out with.

 

I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on mass-produced carrier oils.

Is there less of a problem with carrier oils being yucky than there is with

essential oils? I guess what I'm asking is, for the commonest carrier oils,

are they not even worth adulterating or mislabeling, and would they be

" safer " to buy from a chain store than essential oils would be?

 

Cheers,

The very wordy (today) Susan in NC

Hi Susan,

I use them all the time and have good success with them and their prices are

reasonable, You will find them in Health Food Stores, and Natural Grocers like

Wild Oats, Whole Foods and Vitamin Cottage,
