Why are essential oils better than fragrance oils?

Essential oils are an excellent way to enhance the mood of your home. They are used in candles to provide a fragrant and soothing experience. Here are a few benefits of essential oils in candles:

Natural fragrances: Essential oils are derived from plants and flowers, making them a natural and safe alternative to synthetic fragrances. Synthetic fragrances can contain harmful chemicals, whereas essential oils are free from these toxic substances.

Improved health: Essential oils have been shown to have various health benefits when inhaled, including reducing headaches and anxiety, and improving sleep quality. Please check back in a few weeks to read another post, diving deeper into specific scents, and how they can help you.

Environmentally friendly: Essential oils are biodegradable and renewable, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fragrances.

Long-lasting fragrance: Different to synthetic fragrances, essential oils have a longer shelf life and retain their fragrance for a longer period. This means that your candles will continue to provide the same beautiful fragrance for a longer period.

Chemical-free: Unlike synthetic fragrances, essential oils are free from harsh chemicals that can be harmful to both you and the environment. This makes them a safer option for you and your family.
