Bergamot BF (Bergaptene-Free)
The fresh, fruity scent of bergamot is a key ingredient in classic colognes. Bergamot's cleansing properties complement tea tree's purifying actions while moderating its medicinal aroma. Bergaptene-free bergamot has been re-distilled to remove most of the constituents that can accelerate sunburn.
Cedarwood, Texas
Distilled from oil-rich heartwood, Texas cedarwood has similar properties to sandalwood at a fraction of the cost. The oil helps focus thoughts and stabilize the emotions. Mix several drops with citronella and grapefruit for a refreshing patio spray. (Texas cedarwood contains a natural substance that can form crystals in the oil. If this happens, warm the bottle slightly until the crystals dissolve.)
Cinnamon Leaf
The fresh, spicy aroma of cinnamon leaf is more reminiscent of cloves than cinnamon. Energizing, focusing and revitalizing, cinnamon leaf enhances active reasoning when diffused into the air. (This powerful oil can be a skin irritant and should not be applied directly to the skin.)
Clary Sage
Clary sage is a key ingredient in many skincare formulas. It has a sweet, soothing aroma with intriguing musk and wine-like nuances. This popular oil tones the skin, balances the emotions and lifts the spirit.
Eucalyptus
Distilled from the leaves of the tree, eucalyptus oil has a fresh, penetrating scent and is a common ingredient in salves and cold-care products. Combine with lavander for a therapeutic chest rub. A diffusion of eucalyptus purifies the atmosphere and clears negative energy.
Frankincense
Used extensively in incense and fine perfumery for thousands of years, frankincense is characterized by a sweet, balsamic aroma. Often used in face creams and oils for aging skin.
Geranium
Geranium has a rose-like aroma with minty undertones. An important ingredient in many skin care products, it provides balancing properties to both dry and oily complexions. Add a few drops to face cleansers to supplement their effects.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit has a tangy, citrus scent that is especially appreciated by children. Combine it with lavender in a bubble bath, or make a refreshing travel mist by blending it with peppermint and water in a spritzer bottle.
Juniper Berry
The fruity, woody aroma of juniper berry combines well with citrus oils in room sprays and adds a masculine scent to aftershaves and colognes. Juniper berry invigorates and cleanses the body of toxins when used in massage oils.
Lavender
Lavender's perfectly balanced floral-herbaceous aroma provides an unmatched array of attributes-calming, relaxing, refreshing, toning and cleansing-making it the most popular oil in aromatherapy.
Lemon
Expressed from the peel of the fresh fruit, lemon oil is a sweetly scented, purifying oil. It combines well with tea tree in cleansing applications for blemishes.
Lemongrass
This tropical grass has been traditionally used in India. Lemongrass is an effective cleansing and astringent ingredient in skin care preparations.
Myrrh
The spicy, earthy aroma of myrrh has been used as incense for almost 4,000 years. A blend of myrrh essential oil and jojoba oil is an effective application for dry, dull or aged skin.
Orange, Sweet
The familiar orange scent makes this one of the world's most popular oils and the heart of many floral blends. Sweet orange's gentle, clarifying nature cheers the heart and brightens the mood. Diffuse it often to maintain a wholesome, positively charged atmosphere. Expressed from the fresh fruit.
Patchouli
A widely used fixative in perfumes, patchouli's rich, earthy aroma provides an olfactory bridge between floral and herbaceous oils. Add a few drops to sweet almond oil to create a nourishing treatment for dry skin.
Peppermint
Instantly recognizable, peppermint oil has a very potent minty aroma that produces a cooling and refreshing sensation. Combine peppermint, lavender and a skin care oil for a soothing stomach-massage oil.
Pine
The woody, typically evergreen aroma of this oil lends a pleasant, deodorizing scent to many household and personal care products. Pine oil is invigorating. Add to skin care oils for detoxifying deep tissue massages.
Rosemary
Rosemary has a fresh, herbaceous scent and has purifying properties. Blend rosemary oil with grapeseed and olive oils to make a nourishing scalp massage.
Sage
Distilled from the common culinary garden plant, sage is a potent essential oil and should be used with discretion. Try one or two drops in combination with lavander for a purifying diffusion.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood is a valuable perfume fixative with a powerful earthy, woody scent. The oil is sacred in many traditions, renowned for inspiring insight and spiritual elevation. Dab a single drop on the middle of the forehead to inspire insight and emotional stability.
Tea Tree
Possessing an intense, medicinal aroma, tea tree can be used by the drop directly on the skin to cleanse and purify.
Vetiver
Vetiver has a rich, earthy scent and is often used as a perfume fixative. The aroma anchors the spirit and stabilizes emotions.
Ylang Ylang III
This 'flower of flowers' has a heady, sensual aroma. The scent elevates the spirit and consoles the heart. Blend with rosewood, sandalwood and cocoa butter for an exotic body butter.
