Majestic Pure essential oils are not “100% Pure and Natural” despite the company’s representations, according to a class action lawsuit filed earlier this month in New York federal court.
Plaintiff Precious Williams accuses Epic Business Services Inc. d/b/a Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals of marketing and advertising its essential oils around false claims that appeal to health-conscious consumers by stating that the products come from natural plant origins.
She points to statements on the Majestic Pure website which stress that its products are “made from simple and pure botanical ingredients” and that its botanical oils are “100% pure, free from any additives or adulterants.”
Williams claims that the representations that Majestic Pure oils are “100% Pure and Natural” are false, deceptive and misleading because they contain “a spectacular array of artificial and synthetic chemicals.”
According to the Majestic Pure class action lawsuit, testing of the company’s essential oils have shown that the products are “adulterated with man-made synthetic compounds and unlisted ingredients that unnaturally sweeten or otherwise alter the aroma and profile of the oils and/or make its oils less expensive to produce.”
In some cases, Majestic Pure oils contain toxic components such as diethyl phthalate, a possible carcinogen, the essential oils class action lawsuit says.
“Defendant’s statements are false and misleading to a reasonable consumer because … the Products contain synthetic and toxic chemicals and, as such, are not ‘100% Pure and Natural,’” Williams says in the Majestic Pure class action lawsuit.
Williams alleges that she and the putative Class Members relied on Majestic Pure’s representations that the products were “100% Pure and Natural” when they purchased the products. According to the Majestic Pure class action lawsuit, consumers paid a premium for the essential oils over comparable products that did not make representations that they were “100% Pure and Natural.”
The Majestic Pure products named in the essential oil class action lawsuit include:
- Lavender Essential Oil
- Peppermint Essential Oil
- Clove Leaf Essential Oil
- Rosemary Essential Oil
- Myrrh Essential Oil
- Frankincense Essential Oil
- Lemon Essential Oil
- Thyme Essential Oil
- Bergamot Essential Oil
- Geranium Essential Oil
- Tea Tree Essential Oil
- Jasmine Essential Oil
- Eucalyptus Essential Oil
- Roman Chamomile Essential Oil
The Majestic Pure class action lawsuit asserts claims for violations of consumer protection laws of all 50 states, violation of New York business laws, violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, and breach of express warranties.
Williams filed the Majestic Pure class action lawsuit on behalf of herself and a proposed Class of consumers throughout the United States who purchased the essential oils for personal use and not for resale during the applicable statute of limitations. She also seeks to represent a New York subclass.
The Majestic Pure essential oil class action lawsuit seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, actual damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief deemed appropriate by the court. Williams is also seeking an order requiring Majestic Pure to accurately label its products.
Williams is represented by Michael J. Gabrielli of Gabrielli Levitt LLP.
The Majestic Pure Essential Oils Class Action Lawsuit is Precious Williams v. Epic Business Services Inc. d/b/a Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals, Case No. 1:18-cv-04270-RA, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

In case you are not familiar, the FDA says it is ok for a company to label it’s bottle of EO 100% pure if it contains a mere 5-10 % of EO in it. Do you think we need to hold the FDA responsible for letting companies make these claims when they are the ones who regulate it? So what do you suppose is in the other 95-90%? You guessed it. Fillers and toxic chemicals?. You have to research the company before buying. If an oil is cheap then you know it is not 100% pure. Example-it takes 22 pounds of rose petal to make one 5 ml bottle of Rose oil. How do you figure that could be sold so cheaply? Thank God there are companies that are honest and pure! Do your homework. Young Living has a “seed to seal” promise with their oils.
I have purchased over 18 bottles of Majestic Pure. I’ve been using it now for 4 years. I am very concerned about what’s in it. I’ve called Amazon and asked them to investigate. Please add me to your list and keep me up-to-date with the case.
Well now this explains why Majestic Peppermint oil in on special on Amazon. But before buying something like this I Googled it and found my way to this website. You have to be so careful these days what you are buying. Don’t assume anyone is telling you the truth.
Hello, I have purchased Frankincense, Ylang-Ylang, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Rosemary, Lemongrass, amounting to $174.30. I was also under the impression based on the advertising of the product, that they were made from simple and pure botanical ingredients. Please add me to your list in this class action lawsuit. It’s very unfair if I spent so much money and didn’t get what was advertised. Thank you!
Not sure if it is too late, but we have finished our amazon ordered majestic lemon oil, (4x4oz.)Before learning of this lawsuit. We are disappointed in Amazon and have made them aware of this fact along with the lawsuit. I am told their fraud division will contact me. Will we now be kept informed? I hope so! Thank you, .gg.
I have purchased several large bottles of their essential oils. Please add me to the case. Thank you.

Anything more on this yet? I have all of these.
please add me
