Why Essential Oils?

Magical Essences
Essential oils have been regarded with awe for centuries. The name ‘essential oil’ comes from theories in the Middle Ages of the fabled fifth element. There were believed to be four basic elements that made up all of existence: fire, water, air and earth. The elusive ‘soul’ of things was called the quintessential element or the fifth element. Over time it was shortened to essential. Alchemists swore that this element could change iron to gold… some believed it was the substance that held the planets in their orbits.

Distillation & Extraction
While essential oils won’t turn iron into gold, they do have unique chemical makeups that captivate the minds and hearts of people around the world. It’s hard not to fall in love with a tiny bottle that contains the concentrated essence of hundreds of plants. Most essential oils today are steam distilled. This process separates out the aromatic essential oils from the solid plant matter. With steam distillation it can take thousands of pounds of plant matter to create just one liter of essential oil.

Other methods include expelling and solvent extraction. Expelling is simply using pressure to squeeze the essential oil out of the plant. This method is generally used for citrus oils. Solvent extraction uses substances such as CO2 to extract the essential oil. This method is used for delicate plants such as Rose and Jasmine which can be too fragile to withstand the distillation process.

Good Scents (and more)
Around the world, essential oils are being studied in modern clinical trials to try to substantiate ancient claims of healing. Essential oils are being studied for their effectiveness as antibacterial agents, fungicides, insecticides, pain relief, stress reduction and skin problems. More than anything else, essential oils are scents. Both perfumery and aromatherapy have waxed poetic about the purity of plant essences. Many of today’s most well known perfumes are made with essential oils.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy stems from the use of scent to help with mood and relaxation. Scent is one of the most impactful senses, it is the only place in the human body where the outside world comes into direct contact with the central nervous system. Scent is perhaps the sense with the most powerful impact on our emotional state. Scents travel through the nose and into the primitive centers of the brain before reaching the logic centers.

Aromatherapy is the practice of stimulating wellbeing through scent. Modern clinical studies have substantiated a few of the claims, such as Lavender being calming. However, scent seems to be very subjective. One person may relate a scent to feeling calm while others find that same scent energizing. So, while we can generalize with how scents make some people feel, the individual still has to try it for themselves to see what they love.

Discover Your Essential Oils
The best way to start using essential oils is to start smelling them. Choose a bottle and open the cap. Take a deep inhalation, just letting the scent infuse your nose. Don’t think too hard, rather feel how it affects you. Essential oils are alive and, in their own way, they will speak to you. Remember, aromatherapy isn’t supposed to be rocket science… it’s just good scents.

EO Product Commitment

EO is dedicated to making personal care products that nurture the people who use them, respect people who make them, and honor the planet we all share. They think the products put on skin are as important as what is put in the mouth. They like to know what’s inside their lotions, soaps, and shampoos. So, at EO, they research, develop, manufacture, and ship their own products. EO didn’t dream of being manufacturers - it’s hard work. But they learned that the only way to know that the quality inside every bottle was up to their standards was to make it themselves.

Over the last twenty years, as they grew from mixing blends in a three-gallon stock pot to producing hundreds of products in their 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility, they learned a lot about the cosmetics and personal care industry. The more they learned, the more they resolved to fight for transparency.

EO Products only use the words organic or non-GMO when the ingredient or product is certified by an outside agency. They spend less on marketing their products than they do on ingredients because they believe that effective, great smelling products speak for themselves. As a Certified B Corp, they think that people and their home planet are more important than net profits. They have never taken venture capital and have no plans to do so. EO uses sustainable packaging. They research & develop in house. Everything they make is cruelty free and gluten free. They refuse to make a product that they wouldn’t use on their own children or grandchildren. That means no synthetic fragrances or any ingredient that has been linked to allergies or sickness. They use pure essential oils to scent the products. They smell great and have soothing and uplifting effects on minds and spirits as well as bodies. They believe in a holistic approach to health. They believe healthy skin is beautiful.

Because they only share important and third party verified certifications on their labels, they thought they’d outline what the certifications mean as well as mention a few things EO doesn’t put on their labels.
