What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are compounds and elements that are extracted from plants. The oils take on and capture the plants scent that are extracted from the plant.

Unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence.

Essential oils are then made through distillation via steam and/or water or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing.

Once the aromatic ingredients have been extracted, they are then combined with a carrier oil in order to create a product that’s ready for use.

The way the oils are made is important, as essential oils obtained through chemical processes are not considered true essential oils. Therefore be careful where you purchase your oils from.
