What are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural fragrance and beneficial properties of plants.

Why do we use essential oils?

Essential oils are used in our products for fragrance and for of its many benefits including:

  • Aromatherapy: Enhances mood and mental clarity.
  • Skin care: Has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Natural: A non-synthetic alternative to chemicals or fragrances.

Are they safe? Are they non-toxic?

Essential oils are safe when used correctly, but because they are highly concentrated, improper use can lead to skin irritation, toxicity, or other adverse reactions. Following safe usage guidelines is key to maximizing their benefits and minimizing risks.

In summary

Essential oils capture the natural scents and benefits of plants, used for mood enhancement, skin care, and as a natural fragrance option. While they are safe when used properly, it is important to follow guidelines to avoid harmful effects.
