What are you seeking? If you're looking for claims of the "finest and only pure and unadulterated oils in the world" you won't find any such hype on this website. No company can honestly make such claims and we refuse to resort to dishonest marketing to sell our products. We have high quality, pure oils - but so do a lot of other honest and reliable sellers of essential oils.

If you're looking for pure, unadulterated essential oils AVNP has them.. Our essential oils are straight from the still. They have not been tampered with or "engineered" in any manner. All Anatolian Treasures™ oils, except our peppermint and spearmint, are distilled from organic or wild-grown aromatic plants.

ALL of our oils are tested with Gas Chromatography. We sell no essential oils until they are tested and approved by our GC analyst.

ALL of our oils have a Lot Number on the label of the bottle that corresponds with a Lot Number on the GC. It's not a generic GC test, but an accurate reflection of the chemical components in the batch of oils from which the oil in your bottle was taken. The percentages of chemical components must fit within the acceptable "profile" or "footprint" normally expected for oils produced from aromatic plants within the region where the plants were harvested - if they don't meet that criteria, AVNP doesn't sell them. Buyers requesting copies of GCs for oils they purchase will receive them - FREE OF CHARGE.


Why do we test ALL our oils? First, because no two batches of essential oil, like snowflakes and human finger prints, are ever identical. There will be minor differences in the percentages or ratios of the chemical composition of essential oils - especially in those oils distilled from wild-grown aromatic plants. Secondly, though we trust our contract distillers, they're human, and humans make mistakes. Besides, folks do best those things the boss checks. Finally, we test ALL our oils so we can feel comfortable in giving customers a 100% GUARANTEE that any Anatolian Treasures™ oil they purchase will be a pure, unadulterated and high quality essential oil.

Where do we obtain our oils? At present, many of our oils are from wild-grown or organic aromatic plants that are grown, harvested and distilled in Turkey. The reason for the large number of Turkish oils is that the owner of AVNP also owns Business Services International (BSI) in Ankara, Turkey. Butch Owen contracts distillation of the oils and ensures quality control with GC analysis. Of course, some oils are not available in Turkey and in those cases, we purchase directly from what we believe to be reliable and honest distillers - but we test those oils too. Trust everyone, but always lock your car!

We GUARANTEE that we will provide you with a quality product. Anatolian Treasures™ oils are pure, unadulterated oils made from the plants we say they're made from. Our oils are good oils. Neither AVNP or any other seller can guarantee that your nose will like the odor of all oils - different strokes for different folks. Accordingly, if you want samples prior to making purchases, we'll be happy to send them. We'll provide the samples and it's up to your nose to do the rest. How to obtain samples.

We BELIEVE that quality oils deserve quality packaging. Accordingly, we've done the best we can do to ensure aesthetic and functional packaging of our products.

Our BOTTLES, (except for one ml sample bottles), are Miron Violet Glass, imported from Switzerland. We believe they offer the most protection for our oils. Click to see more.

Our LABELs are offset printed, water and oil proof labels. We're sure you'll spill some oil on the bottle sometimes. When this happens, you can wipe it off the label and the ink will not smear. See an explanation of the coding and other information on our labels.

Our CAPS are Tamper Evident with Twist & Break seals. They also have built in, oil resistent dropper inserts. Our 1 ml and 3 ml caps are an exception, they are not tamper evident and have no dropper inserts. We want to ensure the buyer is protected and feels confident that the oils they purchase have not been tampered with - even if purchased off the shelf of one of the retail outlets that carry our products.

Why do folks use essential oils? We think you know this and we won't try to dazzle you with claims of the proven or supposed therapeutic values of AVNP essential oils. We have no medical doctors on our staff, we're not authorized to prescribe medicine and we don't try to do this. We believe that folks who have read this far are aware of the value of essential oils and have knowledge of their proper use. If that's not the case, we recommend you seek information on "aromatherapy" using any of the I-Net search engines - or, check the links on our "Recommended Links" page. We would also recommend you consider attending some aromatherapy classes or take an AT correspondence course.

Will our prices change? Each Anatolian Treasures™ essential oil is extracted from a single botanical source. Weather, international market conditions and other variables do drive price changes, and availability of any essential oil is not always within our control. So - the answer is that prices might change (up or down,) but they will never change WITHOUT NOTICE! If you place an order and prices change (higher or lower) prior to AVNP filling your order, your price will be the lowest price posted in that time frame.

Does AVNP have a minimum order requirement? No - we have no minimum order requirement! Making folks buy something they might not want in order to get something they do want doesn't strike us as being the best way to win their hearts and minds - and their future business.

We guarantee the quality of what we sell. If you decide to try some of our Anatolian Treasures™ oils or other products, we promise to deliver to your satisfaction. We appreciate your business and want you to come back.If you need something we don't currently have in stock, we'll be glad to refer you to one of the other honest and reliable dealers out there in Essential Oil Land.

AVNP believes that all natural products are gifts from a source greater than mankind. Our Mother Earth provides these gifts, and the Great Everywhere Spirit gives us the ability to learn to use them properly. We're proud to offer the fine products on this website, products we see as an integral part of the Anatolian Treasures™ that enrich our lives.
