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.

    I have bought several bottles of this companies essential oils. I cant believe it is t what it says it is. I am now very worried if this has anything to do with any.of my health issues. I wish to be added to this lawsuit if possible at least to be able to get on the list just in case in find out these are the reasons for my health issues and to be reimbursed for the iuls

  2. Alaina Klozar says:

    I have been used by their products for years believing they were safe and natural as the company promised. I got extremely sick suddenly on Nov 1st 2019 and suddenly couldn’t hardly move or walk. I was having extreme pain in all my joints and have had to be on high doses of Prednisone ever since, along with many other drugs which have caused permanent health problems. I have been to 8 different specialists who can not find a diagnosis. I don’t know if these so called essential oils could have made me sick, but I was using them in my bedroom diffuser every night since 2018 and on my skin and hair. I really hope this isn’t what caused me to lose my health. I wonder if we as consumers can really trust what companies say are in these products that we use on a daily basis. I would like to be included in this lawsuit in if it is still pending.

    How do we get in this lawsuit, I just spent almost $300.00 dollars on Amazon for Majestic Essential oils, are they really fake

    1. Merri Coxwell says:

      Purchased the Lemon essential oil on Amazon and if it truly does contain synthetics or chemicals then I would love to be a part of the class action lawsuit. I specifically read their website which states that the way they keep their costs down is that they are a direct retailer. I am SO disappointed to hear that their oils are not truly 100% EO’s as I am very diligent about using only the cleanest products and eating the cleanest foods.

  9. Kathleen Mertens says:

    I purchased the Jasmine and could tell there were pthalates in it as soon as I smelled it. What a shameful and harmful disservice to customers.

  10. Lori Fay says:

    I don’t remember if I posted a comment before. When I bought my Majestic Pure oils I was new to using them and didn’t understand the importance of the quality of the oil. Imagine how excited I was to find Roman Chamomile at such a great price. I was totally duped. I saw a previous comment about the FDA needing to be held accountable for allowing essential oils to only be 5%-10% pure. Now don’t quote me in this but I believe they do it for a great many things. Grass fed ground beef only has to have so much “grass fed” in it. As well as olive oil, I wanna say it only has to be 40% pure for them to label it as olive oil. It’s not just what we’re putting on our bodies, it’s what we’re putting in our bodies. And unfortunately there are so many American people that just can’t afford to eat fully organic, or even have the access to it. The closest Whole Foods to me is a 45 min drive. Shame on the FDA for poor regulations. Why isn’t all of America suing them for coming up with these bullshit regulations? Don’t even get me started on the pink foam in ground beef. So gross…Google it. Anyway, In would love to get my money back. Such a waste.
