Glossary of Oils, Absolutes, and Ingredients

 

Carrier Oils -  Natural oils used to dilute essential oils for safe application on the skin.  They also provide

nourishment and enhance natural scent longevity. We use cold-pressed oils, including jojoba, virgin coconut, extra-virgin olive oil, and rosehip oil.

 

Botanical Extracts - extracts from flowers, plants, and herbs used for their unique scents and therapeutic properties.

 

Absolutes - Highly concentrated aromatic extracts obtained through solvent extraction.  These are often used in perfumery for their rich, complex scents.

​

Resins - thick, sticky substances exuded from trees or plants - most often from conifers or certain aromatic shrubs.  They are among the oldest perfumery materials, adding depth, warmth, and longevity.

 

Concretes​ - soft, waxy, highly aromatic extracts produced by solvent extraction of fresh plant material

 

Wax - Coco apricot creme Wax is used in our candles. It is toxin-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and is an FDA-approved wax.
