Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants to encapsulate their aromatic essence.
Essential oils are obtained through distillation or cold pressing, and primarily used in skincare products for their fragrant properties, as inhaling essential oils stimulates the area of your brain that governs emotion, behavior and memory. Some essential oils have antioxidant benefits when applied on the skin, however it is important to note that many can irritate the skin causing dryness, redness or flaking.
