Why Essential Oil products & Aromatherapy?
Essential oils and hydrosols are all natural plant based oils that are chemical free and safe to use when used as directed, without layering your skin, baby, pets and your home with harmful additives such as petrochemicals, synthetics and preservatives,- which are not only artificial, but may have unpleasant side effects that contribute to development of allergies and other conditions associated with absorption through exposure over time.
Naturally occurring essential oils can be derived from all parts of plants and herbs. Be it flowers, buds, stems, rind, skin, resins, barks and seeds, the purity is guaranteed through extraction processes such a steam distillation, CO2 extraction.
