Essential oils are aromatic volatile liquids distilled from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds. The chemistry of essential oils is very complex: each one may consist of hundreds of different and unique chemical compounds. Moreover, essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs. The distillation process is what makes essential oils so concentrated. It often requires an entire plant or more to produce a single drop of distilled essential oil.
Essential oils are also different from vegetable oils such as corn oil, peanut oil, and olive oil. They are not greasy and do not clog the pores like many vegetable oils can. These can become oxidized and rancid over time and are not antibacterial. Most essential oils on the other hand, cannot go rancid and are powerful antimicrobials.
