Essential oils are crucial in any natural cosmetics
or skin care product. They create the desired effect on skin and have to be
meticulously chosen in right ratio with other ingredients for safe and best
results. Essential oils also provide amazingly effective fragrance, creating
aromatherapy effect.
With increasing popularity of natural ingredients in beauty
care products, the demand for natural fragrances is also rising. Consumers, seeking healthier lifestyles and
alternatives, are now demanding natural fragrances which trigger down to their
beauty regime. Consequently, manufacturers
are looking for natural based or naturally derived fragrances, avoiding
chemicals or synthetic based ingredients which have a perceived heightened risk
of allergies and toxins.
However, there is a catch: it all depends on how essential
oils are derived. Many use absolutes which are rich, beautiful, expensive and
can add depth to a fragrance, but if extracted using hexane or petroleum
ether, these are not recognized as being natural.
Since essential oils are expensive, many manufacturers may use tiny amount of these oils, and the brand can claim that its product is
made “with natural ingredients”. Similarly, exporters from outside (especially
online suppliers) also tend to dilute the oil in order to increase the
volume. In many shipments of foreign
suppliers, even counterfeit essential oils have been detected. (Cases have been
reported by Herbally Radiant earlier.)
With more than 40-year experience in natural organic beauty
formulations, Herbally Radiant team has been warning against diluted or mixed
essential oils in organic cosmetics. On its part, Herbally Radiant has been
using only USDA certified natural ingredients, including the essential oils, so
as to provide the most effective and safe beauty products. Its anti-aging
formulations: Rejuvenating, and Radiant, are, therefore, more popular because
of their rich organic ingredients combined with pure fine blend of essential
oils.
