Purchasing Oils

Essential oils companies seem to be a dime a dozen. Many claiming only they provide the purest and most therapeutic oils. Some make no such claims, but offer similar products at a super low price. When starting on your essential oil journey, you can get a migraine reading the back and forth about which oils to use. This was me not too long ago. I did my research and wasn't impressed with some of the more expensive companies, because although they made bold claims about their oils' purity and quality, never did they actually offer any data on why their oils offer more. So, for years I just went to my local Sprouts Farmer's Market and bought the cheaper oils there. After using them for several years, the only thing I was ever successful in using them for was improving colds. Now I know that the reason they didn't work is because they lacked the potency necessary. They were also not appropriate for internal use.



 Finally, I became introduced to a new essential oils company that is revolutionizing essential oils: Améo. Améo travels the world to find the best sources of plants for oils, only uses first distillations, and makes each and every batch pass rigorous testing. This testing includes making sure each oil enters human cells and works within them. No other essential oil company on the market does that. In addition to ensuring that the oils do in fact work, Améo shares the results of all the tests completed on each batch with you. These are not made up certifications that other companies have placed on their oils, but actually scientific tests! Dr. Joshua Plant (who has a PhD from Harvard Medical School), Vice President of Research and Development at Améo has explained what these tests are. You can find this explanation here.

After I began using these oils, I have realized I am never going back. The results I have seen have been phenomenal. In additional to the rigorous standards that Améo has, they are the most affordable quality oil and have many different ways to purchase them. So here's the breakdown:

Wholesale pricing:

Wholesale pricing is the best option for purchasing these oils. You get 25% of retail prices and returning customers can earn reward points for free product. There are several ways to get these benefits when purchasing your oils.

Option #1 is to purchase a start-up kit. There are a few different options, but all kits include a free wholesale membership (worth $20), a free diffuser (varies from $66-160), a free enrollment kit ($18), and discounted oils. After your initial kit purchase you can order whenever you like, with no monthly or yearly commitments. You can also earn extra reward points by setting up a monthly autoship and have your oils delivered to you automatically every month. 

Option #2 is to purchase a wholesale membership for $20. This lasts for a year and you can purchase your oils as you please. The downside is you don't get all the free stuff from the kits, but you still have the option of autoship, earning reward points, and no minimum monthly or yearly order. 

Option #3 is to purchase 250 product value and then be awarded a free membership. This choice is really for individuals who want to create their own kit, by choosing their own oils. 

Option #4 is to become a return order customer. A return order customer is a retail customer who gets wholesale pricing by setting up an autoship. You order whatever products you want each month and can order as little as one oil per month. This is a great option for those who don't want to pay a membership fee, want to earn reward points, don't have money to pay for a kit upfront, and have a little money to set aside for oils every month. If you fit any of those qualities, this is the best option for you. You can cancel any time, but you will lose your reward points and will then become a regular retail customer. 

Retail pricing:

Becoming a retail customer is not the most recommended option, but it may be appropriate for certain individuals. You will pay the full price of each oil, but you can order whenever you want. Just order from your distributors website and they will be shipped directly to you.  

No other company has so many purchasing options to make oils more affordable. To further demonstrate the difference between the three largest companies see this following picture:
