Why We Are Transparent
At Mood Essential Oils, we believe in full transparency with our customers. We know that pricing can be complex, but we want you to understand exactly what goes into the cost of each product. As a super small micro business, we sometimes may seem more expensive than larger competitors, but it’s important to note that this isn't because we are greedy. It is because we are offering a genuine, fair price. We are just trying to pay our bills and have a little left for ourselves, which is why we value transparency. We know what goes into each bottle we sell, from the quality of the oils to the care in our packaging and delivery. We want you to feel confident that you are supporting a small, dedicated business that puts the customer first.
