Questions

What is aromatherapy?

What is the difference between an essential oil and a fragrance oil?

What is the difference between essential oils and carrier oils?

Essential oils are non-greasy, highly volatile, flammable, and synergistic, working together to enhance the function and effect of one another. Essential oils are soluble in vegetable oil, alcohol and slightly soluble in water.
Carrier oils can be used as a base for mixing essential oils, or may be used as a straight massage oil. Carrier oils are ‘fixed’ oils – this means they do not evaporate, and leave an oily stain on absorbent surface.
Auroma carrier oils are of the highest quality, using cold-pressing extraction methods.
