Essential Oils
These essential oils are pure and never altered or diluted in any way. We take pride in providing high quality essential oils to our customers. Essential Oils are the fragrant essences of plants in their purest, most concentrated state. Steam distilled, cold pressed or CO2 extracted. Essential Oils are the plant's soul, extracted to bring The Essence of "Well-being" into your life. They are highly potent extracts that have been referred to by Ayurvedic medicine as "liquid sun energy".
The price of essential oils can change rapidly and abruptly depending on various factors such as crop yields, political instability, etc.

Absolutes
An absolute is a highly concentrated viscous, semisolid, or solid natural material, usually obtained by alcohol extraction. The majority of essential oils are produced by the process of steam distillation. Some flowers, however, are too delicate for steam distillation (they get very damaged) and so it is better to produce their oils by extraction or enfleurage. An absolute oil should not really be called an essential oil, it is an essence, it has a very high concentration of fragrance and a little goes a long way. An absolute oil is volatile, meaning it evaporates as opposed to a fixed oil which does not. Absolute oils are generally more expensive to buy than steam distilled oils.
