Essential Oils Essential oils are the "signature" of the plant, its heart and soul. They are volatile oily substances that contain hormones, vitamins and have antibiotic/antiseptic qualities. Marcel Lavabre defines them as "the most concentrated form of herbal energy". Essential oils work in many different ways. The first and most direct way is through our sense of smell. Most essential oils should not be applied directly to skin without being diluted in a carrier oil or cream base preparation. Lavender and Tea Tree are two exceptions but we recommend that you follow our guidelines and instructions for use.
