WHAT ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ARE IN ORCHID ROOT OIL?
Typically, roots contain far less fatty acids than seeds and nuts.
Orchid Root Oil is potent, instead, due to its:
1) Anthocyanin pigments (free radical scavengers)
2) Mucilages (water-holding capacities)
3) Phenols (calming)
______________________________
GENERAL INFO: Its not necessary to dilute Orchid Oil, but you can blend it 50:50 into other oils, because it is so potent.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR COLD PRESSED ORCHID OIL AND OTHER COMPANY’S ORCHID INFUSION/EXTRACT?
Our Orchid Oil is Cold Pressed from the orchid bulb, which means it is pure and undiluted.
Whereas Orchid Infusion/Extract has been made by crushing orchids, then letting them steep in sunflower oil or glycerin, rendering Orchid Infusion/Extract, which is far less potent than ours, since it is heavily diluted.)
