WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
Essential oils or also essential oils are natural aromatic substances that come from different parts of plants - stems, roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, etc. They give plants their characteristic scent and also have medicinal and protective effects. They have a very positive effect on symptoms on a physical, emotional or mental level.
Their chemical composition is quite complicated. Essential oils are most often obtained from plants by distillation, extraction or pressing. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are applied directly to the skin only after dilution with carrier plant oils (almond, apricot, jojoba, etc.). The only exceptions are tea tree and lavender essential oils, which can be applied directly.
Use essential oils for inhalation or in your beauty products, we do not recommend consuming any essential oils of any brands.
Essential oils are fat soluble, so if you want to use them in products without oils and butters, use a solvent /solubilizer/.
