What are Fragrant Oils?

Fragrant oils do not have therapeutic properties because they are concocted in a test tube from many different chemical components.   These oils are often copies of well known essential oils, fruits etc that are synthetically designed in a laboratory.   They are often used in the perfume and cosmetic industry to enhance the smell of moisturisers.  They are scented oils which are sometimes used in massage oils or in an oil burner, however they are not essential oils.  They are often the cause of skin irritaton, dermatitis and in some cases may cause headaches and asthma.

Most well know perfumes are now nothing more than synthetically designed fragrant chemicals and they do not have therapeutic qualities. There are not enough plants grown in the world to provide enough essential oils to go around! The cost of using essential oils are often prohibitive for most large companies and are not often required in their products as therapeutic benefits are not their main objective!

There are some companies that do however use essential oils in their cosmetic formulations. Beauty By Nature Perfumes are created with pure essential oils.
