What are Edens Garden Essential Oils?
Eden’s Garden is a comprehensive aromatherapy company that was initiated by founder, Grace Martin, in the early 2000s. With over a decade of work history in working and living a more natural way of life, Grace wanted to bring a sustainable as well as an affordable methodology of aromatherapy to the masses.
As mentioned above, Eden’s Garden was founded in the early 2000s but did not take off until almost a decade later. The founder spent many hours working for other natural-based companies and traveling the world looking for a way to serve her customers first without sacrificing quality and putting her people before profit.
Company Beginning
In 2009, when the essential oil industry really began to take off, Grace began selling her own starting with lavender and eucalyptus. Today, this essential oil company has become one of the top manufacturers and distributors of essential oils including single oils, blends, carrier oils, and an array of products that sprung from her original passion of meeting people’s needs with where they are at.
When Grace started Eden’s Garden, people over profit was and still is a pillar in the foundational structure of EG and its operating systems. This is why Eden’s Garden customer service is always on point and goes above and beyond what is necessary to satisfy its consumers.
Quality Customer Service
If a customer comes to EG with an issue around an experience they had with an oil, the team of EG takes time to investigate and get to the bottom of the issue to reach a desirable resolution in an effort to ensure their customers are satisfied as well as to maintain the integrity of their products and the company.
Eden’s Garden operates on a five standard business model that is a part of their quality assurance program. The company’s attention lies constantly and consistently on effectiveness, dedication, education, natural sources, and safety.
Edens Garden Essential Oil Quality
Eden’s Garden takes great care and measure to produce ethical, sustainable, pure, and affordable oils to their consumers.
While Eden’s Garden does not manufacture or process their oils directly, they do take care to purchase from where the oil is extricated. The company’s team of buyers visits the manufacturers often to maintain a high level of quality control. No pesticides, synthetic chemicals, herbicides, GMOs, or harmful chemicals are ever used during any stage of the growing or distillation process.
Eden’s Garden also puts all of their oils through GC/MS testing performed by an independent, third-party consultant.
GC/MS Testing
The testing is defined as,
“GC/MS stands for Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry. In simple terms, a GC/MS separates an essential oil into individual components. The oil is vaporized upon entry into the device, and the oil passes through a column assisted by a carrier gas (usually helium or hydrogen). The column itself sits within an oven; here change in heat over time is managed. Different chemical compounds react at different speeds within the column, and this information is captured on the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry.”

No Additives
Eden’s Garden not only collects its oil from indigenous plants and implements third-party testing but none of their products contain any pesticides and are all organic. The company also does not participate in any kind of animal testing and guarantees all of its products are cruelty-free.
EG’s website states,
“We do not add any bases, carriers, kinds of paraffin, additives, etc to any of our oils. No pesticides, synthetic chemicals, herbicides, GMO’s, harmful chemicals, or fertilizers are ever used during any stage of the growing or distillation process. We diligently guarantee that all USDA food/product safety guidelines are followed by our suppliers.”

Eden’s Garden Versus EO Counterparts
Eden’s Garden also prides itself on having solid relationships with other essential oil companies such as Plant Therapy, Rocky Mountain Oils, Mountain Rose Herbs, Plant Guru, etc.
As well as, MLM essential oil counterparts, like Young Living and Doterra. Even though, being an MLM was not part of Martin’s vision for her company.
“And although we are proud of our solid relationships with other essential oil companies, we prefer to cut out the middleman. We hope to develop strong connections with each and every one of our customers by communicating and selling directly.”

Edens Garden oils are at a similarly affordable price point as Aura Cacia, Plant Therapy, and Rocky Mountain Oils. Like all of these essential oil brands, Edens Garden oils are easily accessible through Amazon or through the essential oil brand website.
Best Essential Oils from Eden’s Garden
Let’s take a look at some of the top-selling essential oils available through Eden’s Garden. One of their best-selling oils is their lavender. Actually, Eden’s Garden offers four different types of lavender which are a unique feature to an essential oil manufacturer. While all varieties of their lavender are popular sellers, let’s look at Spike Lavender.
Spike Lavender
Spike Lavender is the lavender that stands out the most of the four Edens Garden offers.
The reason being is because of its high percentage of Linalool, Spike Lavender is also often used for its stress-relieving, pain-reducing, and has anti-inflammatory properties. The aroma of Spike Lavender is a combination of both traditional Lavender, and the sharp, medicinal, camphoraceous aroma of Eucalyptus.
This lavender not only has the capability to trigger peace and calm but because of its chemical properties containing high levels of Cineole and Camphor, it makes a fantastic antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. This is perfect for headaches, minor cuts, and scrapes as well as anxiety and restlessness.
Lemon
Lemon essential oil is just that, it is essential. This oil is so versatile and its uses are plentiful. Edens Garden has pure lemon essential oil along with lemon basil, lemon eucalyptus, lemon myrtle, and lemon tea tree oil.
From this list alone, you can see that lemon is an incredibly versatile oil and one of the main reasons it is such a popular seller. Lemon is used for uplifting your mood by way of diffusing, and it also makes a powerful cleaning agent.
Eucalyptus
Did you know there are more than 700 types of Eucalyptus in Australia alone?!
With so many to choose from, Martin started with just one type of eucalyptus but the company has now expanded selection to the three sorts that have the most medicinal properties for respiratory issues.
These eucalyptus oils are high in a property called Cineole. Cineole is a liquid terpene compound found in several essential oils and noted for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The aroma is camphor that has been utilized in vapour rubs and salves for decades.
Eden’s Garden offers Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Eucalyptus Smithii. While all similar in properties, the three are cherished for primarily their differing aromas.
Eucalyptus Globulus
In general, Eucalyptus Globulus is the most popular of the Eucalyptus oils in aromatherapy because of its high cineole content and traditional Eucalyptus aroma. This has the strongest aroma and is the most aggressive of the eucalyptus oils.
Eucalyptus Radiata
Eucalyptus Radiata is the middle-of-the-road oil with a sweeter aroma and less striking to your olfactory system than the eucalyptus globulus. It has more fruity notes and the traditional aroma of the eucalyptus scent most of us are accustomed to.
Eucalyptus Smithii
Eucalyptus Smithii has less than the 1.8-cineole making it the less aggressive of the eucalyptus. Its scent is described as having a medicinal aroma that is the cornerstone of its scent, but what makes it unique from other Eucalyptus oils is its spicy, earthy, woodsy character.
Tea Tree
Tea tree oil is revered as one of the best natural antiseptics. Its purifying and healing properties allow it to be a mainstay in any household first aid kit.
It is important to note that while it is called the ‘tea tree’, it is not to be confused with the tea leaves used to make black, green, and oolong tea.
Uses & Benefits
It works great as a natural deodorant, insect repellent, getting rid of nail fungus and fighting acne due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
Eden’s Garden Tea Tree oil is one of the purest on the market as well as very affordable. With these two highlights along with tea tree’s lengthy list of benefits, it is easy to see why this is one of Eden’s Garden’s biggest sellers.
Precautions
Tea tree oil should not be ingested and is considered poisonous if ingested. This oil is for topical use only!
For topical use, it is vital to dilute this oil with a high-quality carrier oil such as coconut oil or fractionated coconut oil and to perform a small patch before application if you are new to this oil.
Sweet Orange
Of course, in sweet Edens Garden nature, Martin gives you not just one orange essential oil to choose from but five. These include sweet orange, tangerine, mandarin, clementine, and blood orange.
The types of oranges do not differ property-wise very much so it comes down to personal aroma preference.
Before diving into the details of sweet orange, the properties of citrus orange are pertinent enough to mention as it is more than just a pretty smelling essential oil.
Benefits of Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Eden’s Garden’s description of their essential orange oils puts it perfectly as stating,
“Orange oils have a high limonene content, making them great antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral agents. A good choice in making homemade cleaners and disinfecting sprays. These oils are also known for being anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and helping with an array of digestive issues. Furthermore, being an immune-stimulant, orange oils are supportive of a healthy immune system and overall wellbeing. What’s more, orange oils are wonderful antidepressants.”

What Does Sweet Orange Essential Oil Smell Like?
In reviewing the five different orange citrus scents, sweet orange is well very true to its name, it smells sweet. Sweet orange seems to have the most equal balance of sweet with a little bit of tang like a traditional smelling orange would have.
It does not have any sour or sharp aroma notes and smells more of orange candy. Sweet orange is something you can add a few drops to a diffuser alone for a soft and sweet wake-up or refresh your house after a night of entertaining and cooking.
What Does Sweet Orange Oil Blend Well With?
The amazing thing about sweet orange is it is highly versatile in blending with other essential oils. Sweet orange goes well with lavender oil for a more relaxing scent or you can pep up your orange with lemon essential oil, peppermint, or grapefruit for a more invigorating aroma.
