Essential oils are a concentrated liquid extracted from a plant that captures its aromatic scent. These oils are typically obtained from a process called distillation, or the process of mechanical extraction such as cold pressing. Essential oils are a great natural alternative to harmful chemical fragrances that are typically used in self care products today. Not only are essential oils safer for you to use, they are also more versatile. These oils can be added to a carrier oil like coconut oil or lotion to act as a perfume. They can also add essential oils to a diffuser to keep your house smelling fresh! Some oils can even help combat common symptoms like peppermint oil helping with nausea or eucalyptus for clearing sinuses.
Essential oils are even a great option when it comes to skin and body care. One special oil in skincare is rose petal oil, which is packed full of nutrients and vitamins. It takes 242,000 rose petals to even make 5 mL of rose essential oil, thus making it one of the most expensive essential oils. Rose is filled with inflammatory properties, which is great for combatting redness, all while staying moisturized. It is also a great option for those who have sensitive skin!
