At Oribi Organics, we’re passionate about ONLY using natural ingredients to create effective skincare products. We use essential oils in our products not only for their beautiful natural aromas but with the intention of harnessing their therapeutic benefits to support holistic health and general wellbeing
Our commitment to using these oils is rooted in their ability to provide a range of health benefits, from reducing stress and inflammation to promoting skin health and overall vitality.
What is an Essential Oil?
Essential oils are derived from plants and offer therapeutic benefits, while fragrance oils are synthetic and primarily used for scent. We use essential oils in our products to provide natural and effective skincare solutions. Understanding the difference can help you make informed choices about your skincare products.
Essential oils are concentrated plant compounds that are extracted through processes like steam distillation or cold pressing, retaining the natural and therapeutic properties of the plant. They not only provide a pleasant aroma but also offer benefits like reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing skin health.
Essential oils are known as volatile plant oils which means they are able to evaporate making them easy to use in diffusers, aromatherapy and perfumery. They are highly concentrated, so only a few drops are needed to achieve the desired effect. They can have a range of effects on the human body, including reducing stress and anxiety, alleviating sleep disorders, providing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, and influencing mood and cognitive function through their aromatic properties.
What is a Fragrance Oil?
Fragrance oils are synthetic chemicals created in a laboratory to mimic a scent and lack the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. They can be irritating to the skin and may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Health Risks of Fragrance Oils:
Fragrance oils pose several health risks, particularly due to their synthetic composition. Many fragrances contain chemicals like phthalates, which are known endocrine disruptors. These substances can interfere with hormone balance and have been linked to reproductive issues and other health concerns. Additionally, some fragrance ingredients are associated with skin irritation, allergies, and respiratory problems.
The lack of transparency in fragrance formulations, as they are often considered trade secrets, makes it difficult to identify specific harmful ingredients. By choosing products with natural essential oils, you can avoid these risks and opt for a safer, more sustainable skincare option.
