The best essential oils and their effect

The holistic power of essential oil

The effect of essential oil is holistic. This means that the best essential oils have a positive effect on both body and mind. They can be used at home to support your health and mood. They are also perfectly suitable as a preventive source of well-being and for skincare. That is why we not only offer the best essential oils – we also use them with great love in our aromatherapy products.

Nothing beats the luxurious feeling of inhaling the delicious botanical scents of pure essential oil, knowing that your skin is being optimally cared for - the best of Mother Nature in a bottle.

How do essential oils work?

Now that you know why an organic and pure essential oil is such a wonderful and versatile product, you are probably curious about exactly what they can do for your skin. Research into the effects of essential oils via the skin or by inhalation has been conducted for years. When diffused into the air, thousands of olfactory epithelial cells in the nose process the scent and transmit it to the various hormonal centers in the brain. As a result, they influence your mood and signal to the body how to respond—they can have an uplifting or, conversely, a relaxing effect.

The properties of the best essential oils differ per type of oil. The effect depends on the type of chemical composition of the plant. Examples are:

• Relieving pain
• Draining moisture
• Balancing hormonal activity
• Improving skin conditions
• Support cellular metabolism
• Antiseptic and antibacterial effect

The many different types of essential oils we select for our organic care products add not only luxury but also effectiveness. That is why, for example, they are the foundation of all our natural soaps, among other things.

Below we are happy to describe the most important effects of our best organic essential oils as part of body and body care facial care. For more information about the oil and its application, view the product information. Then simply choose the oil that best suits your needs! 

 1. Pure Tea Tree Oil (Botanical Name)

The most multifunctional oil is Tea tree oil. Also known as *the* first aid oil. The spicy, medicinal scent of Tea tree is often used for colds. This essential oil is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. That is why Tea tree oil is also very suitable for use with acne, wounds, and fungal infections. It is one of the best natural products for acne.

2. Pure lemon oil

When you are looking for an invigorating scent, you will quickly find yourself turning to pure lemon essential oil. Organic lemon oil is not only refreshing, but it also has an exfoliating effect and promotes blood circulation. This, in turn, can reduce swelling and cellulite. 

3. Pure Eucalyptus Oil

The clear and fresh scent of Eucalyptus oil is invigorating for fatigue. It helps with freer breathing and is therefore a popular essential oil for a stuffy nose or sinuses, for example for steam inhalation. Eucalyptus oil also promotes skin healing and kills viruses and bacteria. Use it on the skin mixed with a carrier oil such as organic Argan oil or rosehip oil.

 4. Pure Orange oil

Orange essential oil has a pleasantly sweet, fresh, and citrusy scent. As a result, it has a positive effect on mood and overall well-being. That is why we love using pure orange oil in our natural aromatherapy soaps: Good Vibrations and Solid Roots. Orange oil is also suitable for impure and combination skin because it reduces unwanted impurities and pimples. Additionally, organic orange oil is rich in D-limonene, an antioxidant that promotes cell regeneration.

 5. Pure Litsea Cubeba (May Chang) Oil

A lesser-known but certainly no less beloved oil is pure Litsea Cubeba. This essential oil is also known as May Chang and has powerful antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. Organic Litsea Cubeba oil is therefore beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. It balances sebum production and ensures a more even complexion. For this purpose, the oil can be used diluted in skincare products or mixed with a carrier oil.

6. Pure Lavender oil

Lavender oil is a well-known and popular essential oil. The plant is known for a calming effect on body and mind. For instance, pure lavender oil can be used to soothe sensitive skin, such as in acne products . The oil also soothes itching caused by insect bites and stings.

7. Pure Peppermint Oil

Pure peppermint oil has a particularly cooling effect in skincare. Additionally, it can reduce the size of skin pores. Peppermint oil is especially suitable as a massage oil. Mixed with a base oil such as organic argan oil , it works wonders not only for the muscles but also for the skin!
