Edens Garden Stress Relief Synergy Blend Essential Oil Review

I was given this oil (along with a handful of other Edens Garden essential oils) by someone who was moving. Purple is my favorite color, so I was drawn to the bottle as well as the name. I don't think the color goes well with the name. When I think of hope, I think of oranges and yellows.

Product Details

You can buy it here. Like Plant Therapy (use this link to get $10 off), Edens Garden also has a kids line called, OK for Kids. This product is not part of this line.

Check out the description below to see what Edens Garden has to say about this oil and see if you think it will work for you! It has a few citruses in it, including my favorite, grapefruit.

Smell, Use, and Viscosity

There are five ingredients in this blend: sweet orange, bergamot, patchouli, grapefruit, and ylang ylang.

1. Sweet orange is said to help your mood and immune system. I love it. It makes me feel happy.
2. I tolerate bergamot. It's a citrus so I thought I would love it, but it's a bit too spicy and sharp for my taste. It's been said to boost your mind and help you during times of sadness. Topically, it can help with oily skin, and muscle pain and tension.
3. I hate patchouli, from talking to other people, it's one of those oils that you either love or hate and I'm the latter. It can be grounding and help with stress or diffused while meditating. Topically, it's known to help with skin problems, like wrinkles and scars. 
4. I love grapefruit. It's my all-time favorite single essential oil.  It's supposed to help with mental fatigue and moodiness. Topically, it can be helpful with blemishes and oily skin. It can be used as a natural toner. 
5. I tolerant ylang ylang, I feel like some days I like it more than others and I tend to like it in a blend more than on its own. It's said to calm you down. It's also known as an aphrodisiac. 

I can definitely smell the sweet orange at first. Then the mustiness of the patchouli and ylang ylang hit me. I can also smells the tartness of the ylang ylang. I'll be honest: I'm not in love with this oil. I like the citrus in it but patchouli is not an essential oil I like and ylang ylang really depends on my mood. It's said to help with panic and anxiety and to help create serenity. I diffuse it every now and again.

It's pretty thin so be careful not to use more than you planned on using.

Size, Price, and Packaging

I got a 10ml bottle and it is priced pretty fairly. Keep in mind that I got this for free from someone who is moving. The packaging is standard. It comes with an orifice reducer or Euro dropper. The oil is thin so it can come out quickly, but the orifice isn't too large that the oil just runs out. If you sign up on their website, you will automatically be enrolled in Aroma Notes, which is their loyalty program and can earn points towards future purchases.

One complaint I have about their packaging is that they don't have a label on the top of the oil. This means that you either have to buy their bottle cap stickers or make your own. They even say that it's frustrating to have to lift all the oils out and check the label on the side. I'm sorry, but I think this is slightly ridiculous. I know that $5 for stickers isn't that much, but if you only have a few oils it doesn't make sense, money-wise or material-wise. You'll just be throwing a lot of the stickers away, even though it's not that much, it's wasteful and think about how many other people do the same. I don't think it would cost them that much extra to stick a sticker on top. Plant Therapy's bottles all come with stickers and they have similar price points. I personally make my own stickers. They don't look pretty, but they do the job. Come on Edens Garden, help us out and just add a sticker on the top.

Would I Get This Again?

I don't really know if I would buy this again. The smell is just ok. I think as I explore more about essential oils, I will be able to appreciate more scents. However, for right now, it doesn't stand out for me. This is not safe for kids. Edens Garden does have a kids line called, OK for Kids. This oil is not a part of that line. You could try Bee Happy (they also have a roller ball version) or Calm 'em Down (they also have a roller ball version). Edens Garden offers FREE shipping on all orders. Be sure to sign up on their site since they have a rewards program called Aroma Notes. You can buy it here.

Safety

The shelf life is about 1-2 years.

Make sure to follow proper dilution guidelines. Click on the button that says "download dilution chart". Do not use undiluted. Patch test before using. Check the max dilution under the safety and shelf life section. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, please contact your caregiver first. Do not use internally unless directed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Follow safe essential oil usage; not all people or pets should be exposed to essential oils. According to their site, the shelf life of this oil is 2 years and that might be due to the eucalyptus.
