All Ousia botanicals are from well vetted sources that typically already have Certificates of Analysis for their botanicals, yet we extract oil from the botanical via the Ousia Fountain and test it a second time (2X) for pesticides, heavy metals, and toxins. This ensures that the oil the Ousia Fountain CO2 extracts from the botanical is of the highest quality and consistency. As we like to say quality in quality out.
