Biological is to be preferred to biologic. Keeping or leaving -al is often very difficult; in lots of cases the two solutions are equivalent, but sometimes they are not. This is the case here.
(Eg, biologic oil: 300, biologic oil 30 hits on google)

Organically produced essential oil


Explanation:
Since "organic" is a selling point, I don't think "organically produced" is too heavy.
I took the words "essential oil" from the label of a Radox bath oil bottle which actually says "100%pure essential oil"
