Frequently Asked Questions
How is the purity of this melissa oil described? ▾
Melissa essential oil here is sold as botanical grade. Because genuine melissa is scarce and often adulterated, we publish a Certificate of Analysis for you to review. If you want specifics about what you are buying, contact us and we will gladly talk it through.
Is melissa the same thing as lemon balm? ▾
Yes. Melissa and lemon balm are two names for Melissa officinalis. It is easily confused with lemon-scented oils such as lemongrass or litsea, but those come from different plants, while melissa is rounder, greener, and more delicate in character.
What does melissa smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
It opens with fresh lemon over a soft, green herbal heart, brighter than a citrus peel yet rounder and more delicate. It sits well beside lavender, rose, geranium, and chamomile, where a small amount adds a subtle radiance to the blend.
How should I dilute melissa for skin use? ▾
For skin use, dilute melissa to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil. That is roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Patch test on a small area first, and keep it away from eyes. Given its potency, many people stay near the low end.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
We offer nine sizes: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs. Bulk orders are welcome, and formulators, makers, and resellers can buy at the same standard as the smallest bottle.
How does per-ounce pricing change with size? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as the size goes up. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle, so committing to a bigger container pays off if you know you will use it.
Is lab documentation included with bulk orders? ▾
Yes. Every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis, from the 0.5 oz bottle to the 400 lbs container. If you need anything further for your paperwork, please contact us before ordering and we will help.
Which size should I choose? ▾
For a first try, 0.5 oz or 1 oz is plenty, since a drop goes far. Regular home users often like 2 oz or 4 oz. Makers of soap, candles, or perfume may prefer 8 oz or 16 oz, and 5 lbs and up suit production.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow a little additional time. Checkout is through our Shopify store, and you can contact us with any questions before you order.
Why is melissa so scarce? ▾
Tons of fresh herb produce only ounces of oil, so each batch is tiny compared with most essential oils. That scarcity is why genuine melissa is precious and widely adulterated, and why checking the documentation before you buy matters.
