Essential Oils Vs. Fragrance Oils


ESSENTIAL OILS (EO) ✅ Natural, volatile plant extracts ✅ 100% all natural substances ✅ Made from distilling or cold - pressing flowers, barks, stems, leaves, peels, roots, seeds, or other parts of the plant ✅ Steam - distilled pure plant extracts used for scenting, flavoring or healing applications in aromatherapy ✅ Difficult to reproduce synthetically since they can be made up of 50-500 different naturally occurring chemicals found in the plant and not all of them have been identified. ✅ Used in aromatherapy - helps ease muscle pain, skin problems and other body afflictions, hair softening, rash and eczema relief, stress and migraine, emotional problems, menstrual issues, skin problems, arthritis and more ✅ More expensive |
FRAGRANCE OILS (FO) ✅ Synthetically made chemical scent compounds - synthetically scented ✅ Definitely not all natural ✅ Can be drying and irritating to the skin ✅ Created in a laboratory, non volatile and generally lasts longer than essential oils ✅ 2 types: Synthetic - artificially created from checmical compounds that do not exist in nature. Natural - made in a lab but created by isolating aromatics components from a complex scent ✅ Created with a mix of aroma chemicals and natural ingredients like essential oils, extracts and resins ✅ No health benefits ✅ More affordable |
