I first started dabbling in essential oils shortly before getting pregnant with my second child. My pregnancy and birth with her was vastly different than my first. She had colic (3 weeks of 3 hour 3 for more than 3 days a week) and on top of that she would projectile vomit. I'm not talking a bit of spit up that you can dab off with the corner of your shirt. I'm talking about having to get out the mop because she puked a distance of 2-3 feet. It was like connect the puke dots all over my house. We got to a point where we could tell if she was going to puke and would run to the bathroom and hold her over the sink but she would still sometimes hit the mirror. Slightly disconcerting to see a tiny newborn puke more than the length of their body a few times a week. After visiting multiple doctors and doing a number of tests, we found out that there was nothing wrong, that's just the way she was: pukey.
I thought that maybe she was crying so much that she was puking and if I could stop the crying, I wouldn't being cleaning up puddles of vomit. We tried the standard rocking, swinging, singing, and that wouldn't work. Someone suggested gripe water, but she just puked that up. So one day my husband brought home a roll-on essential oil from Oilogic. I was super excited to try it out, but they said that you can't use them on babies younger than 6 months. I was told that babies usually stop puking around the time they sit up, however, she sat up at 4.5 months and was still puking her guts out. Since she was a little chunky baby, doctors weren't worried, but cleaning up puke is exhausting. I did finally use it and you can read my review.

They use 26 different essential oils that come from 13 different countries. Their products are properly diluted; you cannot apply essential oils on neat. Even lavender and tea tree oil need to be diluted. Dilution rates vary. If using oils on young children, they will have to be more diluted than if you're using them on the typical adult. They are MADE SAFE certified, handmade, and hand poured. They pass GCMS testing, which shows they are pure and unadulterated.
They even have safety information on their site.
Let's talk about prices. In general, roll-ons are more expensive ml per ml than undiluted essential oils. However, you don't need to buy the oil, carrier oil, and roller bottles. So if you just want just one, then it might save you money in the long run. I prefer to buy the materials and make my own. Many companies like Edens Garden and Plant Therapy (Use this link to get 10% off or use this link to get $10 off by referring a friend) have similar prices, where the roll-ons are just about the same as the undiluted oils.

Customer Service
I
have not had any interactions with their customer service.
Products and Prices
Their product line is divided into 3 sections: babies and toddlers, kids, and adults. Then after you choose a section, you are taking to another section. I wish you could see all the products in one line rather than having to click back and forth and open up different windows. It's especially annoying when they only have one product in that section. They have roll-ons, Epsom bath soaks, creams, bath vapors, and baby wash & shampoo.Let's talk about prices. In general, roll-ons are more expensive ml per ml than undiluted essential oils.

Ethics
They talk about how powerful essential oils are and that less is more. I think this is especially important when you have MLMs pushing you to use them for everything and anything, even ingesting them. They talk about the purity of their oils. I have not found any information on their site about how they give back to the community. If you know about anything, please let me know and I will add it.
