• While FO’s are chemicals that may contain some oils from plants, essential oils are from the plant itself. Parts of the plant are processed and distilled to release their oils. Those oils are concentrated an/or diluted with other natural oils and sold to candlemakers, aroma therapists….etc. • Please note, that although essential oils are all natural, they are not ALL body safe. It is very wise to research whatever essential oil you wish to use to find out if there are any restrictions on the oil. • Also note, pregnant women should stay away from certain oils, essential or chemical (FO). I believe that pregnancy.com or .org has that information. I’ll add a link if people really want me to. LOL.
