NSP’s Unsurpassed Quality

A tremendous amount of raw material is necessary in the manufacture of pure, natural essential oils. It may not be surprising, therefore, to discover that some products available on the market today have been mixed with chemical substances, or diluted with lower-quality, commercial-grade oils, in order to save on production costs.

Since Nature's Sunshine's' reputation is founded on quality, and integrity, we resolved to find and use only premier sources of genuine and complete essential oils. And we don't just take just anyone's word for it when it comes to quality.

You can be sure that Nature’s Sunshine analyses its complete line of essential oils to ensure that each oil measures up to our strict quality standards.

Using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry, the NSP Quality Assurance Department tests every batch of oil we receive to make sure it meets our high-quality standards, and is, of course, 100 percent pure. We also test for the proper components.

Just because an oil is pure doesn't mean it's good enough for NSP. Plant quality and growing conditions also affect quality, so we get our oils only from reputable growers and distillers.

In addition, Nature’s Sunshine always:

  • Conducts strict olfactory (smell) evaluations.
  • Checks oil colour and clarity
  • Verifies species and place of origin.

Using several different testing methods, the NSP Quality Assurance department recently compared Nature's Sunshine's pure lavender oil with the lavender oil from a well-known competitor.

The tests included:
  • sensory evaluation,
  • colour and clarity analysis,
  • laboratory analysis using both Gas Chromatography & Mass Spectrometry (gc/ms).
Natures Sunshine Lavender Oil (GC/MS)

Competitors Lavender Oil (GC/MS)

GC/MS is widely known as the most important tool for identifying and analysing volatile oils.

NSP’s lavender out-performed the competitor's lavender in every test. 

The NSP GC/MS tests specifically showed that NSP lavender oil contains greater amounts of many key constituents than the competitor’s lavender oil.

Using Mass Spectrometry, Nature's Sunshine can identify individual peaks (constituents) represented on the chromatograph and verify that each is a pure substance.

Many competitors do not use Mass Spectrometry in analysing essential oils. Consequently, they can neither detect impurities nor positively identify constituents.

The label on our competitor’s bottle of lavender oil indicates the use of two different species of lavender-something you'll never find in NSP's pure lavender oil. With two different species listed on a label, you never know exactly what you’re getting.

At Nature’s Sunshine, we use pure Lavendula angustifolia rather than a lavender hybrid. Our "true lavender" is harvested from specific, quality-controlled, high-altitude lavender fields in France, thereby earning it the prestigious and difficult-to-obtain "AOC" (Appellation d'Origine Controlee) certification from France.
