It is quite likely that you have come across both essential oils and fragrance oils in the list of components of cosmetics. But what is the difference between these two, and which is more effective for skin? Let's dive in.
Understanding Essential Oils
Essential oils are extracts of plants that have been concentrated. They embody the plant, its scent and healing qualities. These oils have been in use in different societies for many years for their medicinal and fragrant purposes.
The Natural essence :
Since they are purely plant extracts, essential oils are the best for use in skin care products.
Therapeutic benefits:
Most of the essential oils are known to possess certain characteristics such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, or antioxidant that may be useful to the skin.
Complex scent profiles:
All the essential oils have their own fragrance which has a positive impact on your health.
Fragrance Oils
Fragrance oils are manufactured to imitate the natural oils and are made artificially to give out the natural smell of the required ingredient. They are normally incorporated in perfumes, candles, and skincare products to give out the required scent.
Synthetic oil
Fragrance oils are produced synthetically, through the mixing of different chemicals in order to get the required fragrance.
However, as a rule, fragrance oils do not possess the curative effects of essential oils, despite the fact that they may have a nice smell.
Potential irritants:
The synthetic ingredients used in the formulation of fragrance oils may cause skin irritation to those with sensitive skin.
