Essential Oils vs Fragrance Oils

I often get asked why it matters where the scent comes from, why use essential oils when fragrance oils often produce a much stronger scent while using less oil. The answer is because I won’t sacrifice the quality and natural ingredients in my products. I won’t take the side effects on my health and the health of my customers in order to produce a product that is cheaper.

Fragrance oils are a toxin that live in so many peoples homes. Containing phthalates that you breath in or put on your skin. So what’s the deal with phthalates, they are a byproduct of plastic and petroleum for starters. Does that sound like something you want in your home? I doubt it, but they are so hard to avoid it seems like they are in what feels like everything. But the repercussions on your health can be detrimental with many studies coming out linking them to cancer, asthma, reproductive issues and so much more. Studies linked here. In my journey to living a natural life I learned of the dangers that fragrance oils posed on my health and began the transition to essential oils that are derived from natural sources.
