Essential oils, or ‘essences’, are extracted directly from the leaf, seed, bark, flower, fruit, or root of a plant. Often used in aromatherapy, it’s a form of alternative medicine that employs plant extracts to support health and well-being. Unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence.

• Although essential oils do not become rancid, they do oxidise, deteriorate and lose their beneficial therapeutic properties over time. 
• Store them in amber or cobalt blue bottles.
