An essential oil is a liquid that is distilled (most often by steam or water) from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, and/or other elements of a plant. Essential oils, are not really 'oily' feeling at all. Most essential oils are clear, but some, such as patchouli, orange and lemongrass are amber or yellow in color. Essential oils contain the true essence of the plant it was derived from and they are highly concentrated and a little goes a very long way.
Essential oils are not the same as perfume or fragrance oils. Where essential oils are derived from the true plants, perfume oils are artificially created fragrances or contain artificial substances and do not offer the therapeutic benefits that pure essential oils offer.Is essential oil different from fragrance oil?
essential oil is VERY different from fragrance oil. essential oils are powerful essences that have effects on the body. never apply essential oils directly to the skin without diluting with a plant-based oil. fragrance oils are just that, a smell, and can be applied directly. do not play around with essential oils without educating yourself.
