Organic essential oils
An essential oil (from the Latin essentia, "nature of a thing") is a concentrated extract of a plant's aromatic compounds. It is obtained by steam distillation, CO2 extraction or cold expression of the plant.
Distillation, the most popular production method, involves mixing the plant in water and heating the mixture to form steam. This essence-laden vapour is then collected and cooled to recover the essential oil.
