Kokokahne Essential Oils - North Port Florida

• In business since 2005 – the founder was influenced by living in Japan and traveling in Australia. https://kokokahnessentialoils.com/
• Outsourced Herbs - Unsprayed, wildcrafted or certified organic through the farmers they buy from. All essential oils received are GC/MS tested for therapeutic quality and purity, then put through strict quality control to meet their high standards. Each bottle sold is batch coded, so it can be traced back to its distillation date.
• GC/MS purity - stands for Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometry. These machines are used for chemical analysis of many substances, including wine and essential oils. It is the only way to know an essential oil has not been adulterated with synthetic chemicals; any pesticides, herbicides or other synthetic chemicals in the oil would also show up. Every component of the oil is calculated, letting aromatherapists blend for optimal therapeutic healing. For example, Lavender is calming and relaxing due to its high content of a component called linalool.
