Simply put, we think essential oils are a wiser choice than synthetic fragrance oils. Essential oils have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties and have always partnered well with soap-making. Adding essential oils gives it a delightful scent but also provides numerous benefits.
Aromatherapy benefits: Essential oils are extracted from plants and carry the plant’s natural scent and therapeutic properties. When added to soap, they can provide aromatherapy benefits that can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve mood.
Mood enhancement: Essential oils have been shown to have a positive impact on mood, and adding them to soap can help enhance the experience. Lavender oil, for example, is known for its calming properties and can help promote relaxation and sleep.
Natural option: Essential oils are plant-based, not grown or mixed in a lab. By choosing an essential oil, we are encouraging farmers to continue to grow and harvest the plants. This is good for the environment and the economy.
While we can not promise the therapeutic benefits of essential oils because we are selling soap, not essential oils. In our humble opinion, we think they smell amazing. Especially some of our custom blends.
In the end, essential oils are significantly more expensive than fragrance oils. At Soapie Squad we purposely chose essential oils because we believe it is the wiser choice. Plus, synthetic scents bother the head soap maker!
