Essential Oils

Essential Oils are used for their therapeutic and aromatic properties in personal care products like lotions, soaps, and bath products. They are also used in fragrance products for their scent and in health & beauty for their skin benefits.

Key Benefits and Uses of Essential Oils:

• Aromatherapy
  Promote relaxation, invigoration, or stress relief depending on the oil (e.g., lavender for calming, grapefruit for energizing).

• Skin Care Enhancer
  Contribute antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or antioxidant effects (e.g., tea tree for acne, eucalyptus for cooling).

• Natural Fragrance
  Impart fresh, floral, citrus, or herbal scents to lotions, soaps, oils, and sprays.

• Multi-functional Support
  May act as mild preservatives, toners, or skin-penetration enhancers in natural formulations.

• Consumer Appeal
  Recognized and valued by consumers seeking “clean,” plant-based, or holistic beauty solutions.
