What is the difference between essential and fragrance oil?
Essential oils are oils that are distilled or pressed from plant material (e.g. leaves, flowers, roots, seeds, or peels). There is nothing added to an essential oil to extend or preserve the oil. Some essential oils are known as “commercial” and are blends of essential oils (i.e. Lavender 40/45% is a blend of Lavandula angustifolia, lavandin, and Linayl acetate, a naturally-occurring phytochemical found in lavender).
