Oils & Flavors

Essential oils

Essential oils should always be 100% pure and free of synthetic additives. Pure, natural plant extracts are used for this purpose. The oil is obtained from flowers, leaves, seeds, or bark through distillation or cold pressing. It is then highly diluted and blended with a carrier oil, where it unfolds its calming, stimulating, or nourishing effects. Irritation may occur in some cases, particularly with sensitive skin. Certain oils may pose health risks, for example, in cases of high blood pressure, allergies, respiratory illnesses, skin conditions, or during pregnancy.
