I certainly don't want to step on any toes as I know there are fans of this company who frequent the boards, but after I ordered some products from the company, I did some research and found that some of their oils have failed 3rd party GC/MS tests. That gave me no confidence in the rest of their products so did not order anything from them again, but that was just my decision/choice. Here is the link to the test results, which shows other companies' results, as well. I have been most happy with Plant Therapy oils.

I only have ~~good~~ great things to say about their stuff. When I first started looking at their products on-line, I was skeptical because the prices were so low. Then when some of the stuff I was looking at when on their 'Crazy Deals' page, I tried a few things and never stopped buying from them since. I regularly buy some of their supplements, EOs, facial oils, lip balms, face cream and even a snack they sell.

@SilleeMee, I started ordering from them a while back , found some items good, others not for me,but found information that has me questioning.

I've always believed that if you look hard and long enough for anything then you will find it...good or bad. I also would not base my judgements based on one lab's results. Just because one lab 'said so' doesn't make it official. I'll leave it at that. @goldensrbest

Do you know what "GC/MS" ? I do because I am a chemist. It is highly technical and subject to all kinds of deviations.

@SilleeMee I use two of their face creams after reading some of your posts. They're very good and I'm totally satisfied, thanks.

I don't see how Young Living Oils could fail anything. I've always heard they are the best, trustworthy in every way, ergo the prices.

I just got my first box from Piping Rock on Saturday.

I needed some new EOs & I had seen that others used this company & liked them.

The prices were good.

The bottles were packaged very well, so everything arrived safely.

I bought several EOs & 2 bottles of argan oil.

I use the argan oil on my face, of course, so I hope it's ok.

The EOs I use in my diffuser & as long as they smell good I have no way of knowing if they aren't what they are meant to be.

There is a brand of argan oil that I can not use, because it breaks me out.I didn't understand how pure argan oil from 1 brand would break me out. Now I am thinking that perhaps it wasn't pure argan oil.

Please ,i don't want any one to take my question,personally.I try to find things that will work for me ,without paying the high prices that major brands charge.

@goldensrbest

I decided to go back to the Piping Rock site and find out what it is I like about their lip balm.

Here is the info:

My thoughts regarding everything these days, for me, is that the fewer ingredients the better I do.

The site mentions essential oils, which I am going to look into, maybe next.

@LTT1,

That's my favorite lip balm of all time.

PR's essential oils are very good. I love the lavender and also some of their blended ones that have special names attached to them. There are some good EO books there, too. Search 'Books' in the box. I own the first one on the page, item # 40322.

Thank you! @SilleeMee

Do you know which oils in doTerra Deep Blue are the ones that are most effective?

This product is helping me and I’d like to either duplicate it or just purchase the ones that are most effective.

Thank you for your help.

I don't know anything about Doterra Deep Blue @LTT1.

eta- I just checked out Deep Blue ingredients and it looks like wintergreen oil is used in their blends. Wintergreen is a mild analgesic...a form of salicylate (aspirin's active ingredient).

And just as a side note...

There is no such thing as a therapeutic grade EO. No dot gov agency has ever established any such category. The idea of therapeutic grade EO was created by the industry.

@goldensrbest You may want to check out iherb.com. They carry essential oils that are excellent and Acure Organic products that are very good. $20 gets you free shpg. They also carry e.l.f., Zum (goat milk products) and many other really nice brands. I never heard of piping rock.

I can't say I order regularly from Piping Rock, but have purchased a couple of supplement from them during a sale. Everything was satisfactory but I prefer ordering from Vitacost or Amazon.
