Whats the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?
Essential oils are the actual oils of plants extracted by compression or steam distillation. Essential oils can be very costly, as frequently it takes hundreds of pounds of plant materials to make a small amount of oil! Fragrance oils are synthetic and give us a wider range of fragrance choices. Fragrance oils can be formulated for complex fragrances that do not come from plants, for example, pina colada.
