Hi, adulterated oils are not suitable for aromatherapy! When they are adulterated, they are not considered therapeutic grade. Your clients are looking for therapeutic results, right?
When oils are adulterated, they can be cut with synthetics and can actually do more harm than good.
If you would like to learn more about therapeutic grade essential oils, please feel free to contact me.

Essential oil blends are just a mixture of different essential oils. These are fine for aromatherapy, provided the blend of oils are suitable for your specific needs.
When essential oils are adulterated, it means that something has been added to it. Whether it is suitable for aromatherapy or not will depend on what it has been adulterated with. For example, some costly essential oils (such as Rose) are often sold diluted / adulterated with Jojoba oil. This oil would still be suitable for aromatherapy. If the Rose essential oil was adulterated with synthetic ‘fragrance’ Rose oil, then it would not be suitable for aromatherapy because of the chemicals.
