Pure Coriander Essential Oil (Coriandrum sativum) Steam Distilled 10ml (0.33 oz)

It’s not common for me to try essential oils from an unknown brand, but this essential oil from Greenwood Essential is claimed to be 100% pure, natural, and undiluted. It’s not tested on animals, alcohol, and solvent-free. And having a GC/MS batch number and a PKD date (packaging date?) on the box, it’s showing that this company takes quality control seriously.This is a pure Coriander Essential Oil that comes in a 10ml amber bottle sealed with a stopper upon arrival. A euro applicator is supplied with the package for slow and accurate drops. The cap is not childproof though.For the sake of testing, if it’s diluted with carrier oils, I decided to do a ring test on this oil on a strip of white paper. Diluted essential oils often will leave a visible ring of residue, while pure essential oil, will not leave any ring behind. And after an hour there is no trace of residue which is good to know.Please bear in mind, that any pure essential oils have to be diluted with carrier oils before applying directly onto the skin. Using them 'neat' on the skin can cause severe skin sensitivity.It’s not stated on the product page the benefits of this oil. But coriander is known for aiding digestion, and in assisting with aches and pains. I have mild arthritis and I like using this oil diluted in coconut oil for a soothing warming massage. It doesn’t take away the pain entirely but it does give a soothing and calming feeling afterward. I also like to add a few drops of this oil into a diffuser before bedtime to relax and unwind.I will use it as an alternative when I can’t find my favorite brands.Thank you for reading. Hope you have found it helpful.

I am fairly recently new to essential oils which I have been using when I make wax melts for my scentsy centerpiece. I absolutely love all things lemon or citrus and I have Greenwood essential pure lemongrass and also their pure tangerine oil. I initially made a few large melts using the lemongrass oil which creates a mouth wattering aroma. I liked it so much that I was afraid to add additional oils to the mix, lest I regretted it. I started by adding a few clove oil drops to one and it gave the most warm, Christmas hint to the lemon, adding depth without overpowering the lemon. I was so pleased by this subtle difference that I decided to try the same thing with this Corriander Essential oil which I had read was a good accompaniment to citrus aromas. I was not diaappointed. The combination was reminiscent to me of continental holidays and of time spent in Tenerife; that lovely light aroma of fresh herbs blown on a warm coastal breeze. Combined with the lemongrass it was relaxing and uplifting. This may be the closest I am able to get to these destinations for some time yet, but for me, aromas can evoke many memories and associations, so it was so nice to reminisce surrounded by the lovely effects of these Greenwood essential oils.When I first bought essential oils I thought they were very expensive for such small amounts, but I have quickly learned that they are very cost effective as such a very small amount is used and they therefore last a lot longer than I had anticipated. I am happy to have added this Coriander to my starter collection. Very pleased.

I like the fragrance of coriander leaves and I did not have a coriander EO for my diffuser, so I was looking forward to reviewing the Greenwood Essential Pure Coriander Essential Oil. It was a small bottle (10ml) for the price and I was expecting a powerful aroma, but it was not as powerful as I was expecting and had an intensity similar to other (cheaper) brands of EOs I have in my collection.I only use EOs for their fragrance in my diffuser and do not use them for therapeutic reasons. I also like to blend EOs to get a fragrance for the season or occasion, so I can't comment on purity or health benefits. It comes in a small brown bottle with an optional plastic dropper top, which is necessary (though not precise) if you are measuring quantities by drops as you do with a diffuser. It produces an attractive aroma on its own in the diffuser, but I like it better for producing that warm undertone in my mixes.I am pleased to have it in my collection, but it seems very expensive for such a small quantity. I will not be replacing coriander with this brand when it is finished.

I absolutely love this company's unusual range. Most aromatherapy companies offer a generic range, some offer a slightly wider range, but I have not come across a company that offers anything like the exotic and unusual range as this one does. Moreover, they are being sold at very reasonable prices for what they are: unusual and probably not easy to obtain; natural and 100% pure.The only point I would like changed is the lack of a couple of bits of detail on the bottle itself. For example the amount of liquid contained within in the bottle is detailed on the packaging and not the label of the bottle. As packaging is usually discarded, this means that particular information is lost with it.The bottle is sealed with a plastic stopper which is easily removed and the accompanying European dropper can be put in its place.I absolutely love coriander. It smells piquant, warm and slightly sweet. As one of its properties is regenerative, smelling it makes me feel happy. It can be used to help digestion and ease muscle strain. It is also antibacterial, so can help reduce acne or other skin complaints, but do be careful to blend it with a carrier oil first.The 100% money-back guarantee shows just how confident the manufacturers are about their products! I am delighted to be able to add this oil to my already expansive collection.

Comes in a brown bottle to protect the oil from sunlight. It has a stopper top for travel purposes which needs removing and the dropper top (included in the box) inserting before it can be used ( this is quite fiddly and you do need some finger/hand strength to do this; could be a struggle for some) Unfortunately the the screw cap will not fit the bottle when the dropper cap is on which means that for storage they have to be swapped back again which is time consuming and far from ideal. Other oils I have the screw cap will go offer the dropper cap which means this isn't an issue. This loses a star for me.Characteristic warm coriander smell. Good value for money.
