What are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are powerful extracts from plants that carry the natural fragrance and beneficial compounds from various plant parts. These parts include seeds, bark, and flowers.
Producers extract the oils through methods like distillation or cold pressing. People use them in aromatherapy, skincare, and household cleaning products. Ancient cultures used essential oils for thousands of years in traditional practices, understanding their health benefits beyond scents.
The Egyptians used aromatic oils in religious rituals, beauty treatments, and medicine. Ayurvedic medicine has used plant extracts for over 3,000 years as part of its holistic approach to health.

Essential Oil Extraction Methods
Various methods extract essential oils from plants to capture their potent botanical compounds.
Steam Distillation: This process uses steam to pull out the oils from plant materials like petals, leaves or bark.
Cold Press: This extracts citrus fruit oils such as orange, lemon, and grapefruit.
Solvent Extraction: Dissolve the plant in solvents to isolate the oil compounds and extract select delicate oils.
Every essential oil demands specialised handling and precise techniques to produce the pure, potent extract. At Aluxury, we extract our oils at their peak to ensure maximum quality.
Essential Oil Safety
As highly concentrated botanicals, essential oils require proper care during use:
- Recommend diluting the application to the skin by using just a few drops per teaspoon of carrier oil.
- Certain oils can cause photosensitivity, so avoid direct sunlight for several hours after use.
- Keep oils away from eyes, ears and other sensitive areas, as well as children and pets.
- Do a small patch test before widespread use to check for any skin sensitivity.
Carefully follow all instructions and dilution guidelines to fully enjoy the benefits while using essential oils safely.
