The Essential Oil Company (Applied Herbals LLC) is a certified organic handler under the USDA National Organic Program, certified by Oregon Tilth continuously since October 2008.

Handler certification covers everything that happens to an oil after it leaves the grower and distiller: receiving, storage, bottling, labeling and record-keeping at our Niles, Michigan facility, inspected on site every year. Every oil we sell as certified organic is sourced from certified organic growers and distillers, and its organic status is documented from the supplier certificate to the bottle you receive, so you can carry the claim through to your own finished product.

What Certified Organic Means

A regulated claim, not a marketing term.

“Organic” on an essential oil is a regulated claim. To carry the USDA Organic seal, the botanical must be grown on certified organic land without prohibited synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or GMOs, and every operation that handles the oil after harvest, including the distiller and the company that bottles it, must hold its own certification so the chain of custody is never broken.

Our oils are certified in two USDA label categories. 100% Organic: frankincense (B. carteri and B. frereana), lavender Bulgarian, lime, myrrh, peppermint and spearmint. Organic (at least 95 percent organic ingredients): eucalyptus, geranium, lavandin grosso, lemon, rosemary, sweet orange and tea tree. Certified organic argan and pumpkin seed oils are listed as well. The certified name and category for each product appear on our USDA Organic Integrity Database profile.

Oregon Tilth is an independent nonprofit certifier based in Corvallis, Oregon, founded in 1974 and accredited by the USDA to certify operations to the National Organic Program. It reviews our supplier certificates and records and inspects our facility every year.

Start With The Essentials

Certified Organic Tea Tree

Regular price From $7.99
Sale price Regular price

Certified Organic Tea Tree essential oil has a bold, unmistakable scent that feels purposeful and no-nonsense. Its fresh, medicinal character makes it a staple for functional blends, especially when you want things to feel clean, reset, and refreshed. This is an oil people reach for when practicality matters just as much as aroma.

Organic cultivation matters here more than with many oils. An oil this commonly used in skin care, cleaning formulas, and direct wellness applications benefits meaningfully from a growing cycle free of synthetic pesticides. The character is honest and direct: sharp, camphorous, green, and clean. This is a high-integrity tea tree with a genuine heritage behind it — formulation-ready, consistent, and built to be used.

Certified Organic Geranium

Regular price From $12.99
Sale price Regular price

Certified Organic Geranium essential oil feels balanced and versatile, sitting comfortably between floral and herbal.

Steam-distilled from certified organic Pelargonium graveolens, it offers the characteristic green-floral, rose-adjacent profile that has made geranium one of the most widely loved and reliably versatile oils across skin care, natural perfumery, and emotional wellness.

Organically grown and carefully distilled, its scent is soft but structured — lightly rosy, herbaceous, and bright — with the kind of clean, honest quality that performs consistently across formulations. A balancing oil in the truest sense: it rounds out blends, softens sharp edges, bridges top and base notes, and brings a warm, grounded character to whatever it is part of. For makers who need an oil that works hard and works well across multiple applications, organic geranium is a dependable, principled choice.

Certified Organic Lavender

Regular price From $7.99
Sale price Regular price

Organic Lavender essential oil is, in many ways, where most aromatherapy journeys begin — and for good reason. 

Steam-distilled from certified organic Lavandula angustifolia, it delivers the balanced, soft floral profile that has made lavender the most trusted oil in the practice for generations: gently herbaceous, lightly sweet, with a clean, airy finish that settles without effort.

Organically cultivated and carefully distilled, this oil reflects the full, honest character of the plant. It is calm without being flat, floral without being sweet, and versatile without being generic. Whether you are formulating a baby product, crafting a sleep blend, building a skin care range, or simply diffusing at the end of a long day, this is an oil that shows up quietly and does the work.

For makers and practitioners who want a lavender they can reach for across categories and contexts, this organic expression is the reliable, principled choice.
