What are Essential Oils?
Essential Oils are highly concentrated, scented oils that come from natural plants and fruits. These oils are generally steam distilled and/or cold processed, and can be used across Olfaction, Wellness, and Beauty.
Where do Essential Oils come from?
Essential oils are an oil which has typically been distilled—usually using steam or water—from the bark, leaves, flower, roots, or other parts of the plant. They are highly concentrated oils that contain both the aromatic and chemical properties of the plant. They are 100% natural.
When do Essential Oils expire?
If stored properly, they can last for 3 years. They need to be kept cool, and the lid should always be tightly sealed. There are some oils that are good for 10 years or more, such as Patchouli.
How can Essential Oils be used?
The most popular way to use Essential Oils in the home is via an oil diffuser. Other common uses include scenting a bath, massage oils, natural perfumes as well as an ingredient to create different DIY products for the home including body and hand washes, creams and lotions. Please do check with your General Practitioner and Dermatologist before using it topically.
