    Perfume Made from Essential Oils

    January 12, 2016 in Essential Oils, Non-toxic beauty products

    perfume made from essential oilsFor centuries, before the advent of artificial fragrances, people used essential oils to smell nice. These aromatics are what old-fashioned perfume shops used, oftentimes to create custom scents.

    Natural Perfumes Without Chemicals

    As more of us become aware of the hazards of certain chemicals, there’s renewed interest in using natural essential oil based perfumes once again.

    Natural aromatic essential oils oils don’t contain potentially dangerous compounds such as phthalate, which mimic estrogen. This class of chemicals can interfere with our hormones, something that can potentially lead to metabolic imbalances. They are still being studied for their other potential health effects.

    Non Toxic Perfume Made From Essential Oils

    One type of phthalate, for example, might increase our risk for breast cancer. This chemical has a long, unpronounceable name. It’s often referred to as MEP, when it’s excreted in the urine. One Mexican study found higher levels of MEP in breast cancer patients, compared with healthy women.

    Phthalates, used to make plastics, are very widespread in the environment. Everyone appears to have some of these chemicals in their system. No one would argue that they are doing our bodies any good.

    Artificial fragrances are one of the most common sources of exposure to diethyl phthalate, the substance that eventually breaks down into MEP.

    Where To Find Non Toxic Perfume

    But MEP isn’t the only thing we have to worry about.

    According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, the word “fragrance,” when it appears on a label, doesn’t disclose what’s really inside. Some of the problematic ingredients, it noted, may include a stabilizer called phenoxyethanol. Found in some perfumes and soaps, it may potentially cause eczema and even life-threatening allergic reactions.

    When you think about this, our favorite brand of perfume doesn’t smell so sweet, after all. But there are alternatives.

    Phthalate Free Perfume Oils

    Fortunately, it’s now possible to buy perfumes made with essential oils. In addition to making you smell great (and natural), there’s growing evidence that aromatic oils are good for you.

    On this site, I like to tell people about healthier alternatives to many of the products we’ve grown up with. Once I got rid of my own chemical-based cosmetics, I never looked back. That’s because I’ve found natural plant-based substitutes for nearly everything.

    Natural Plant Based Perfume

    Other women, apparently, are doing the same, judging by the number of natural perfumes on the market. Essential oil fragrances are very safe, when used as directed. Scientists are also beginning to discover that aromatic oils contain medicinal compounds, which can potentially help heal our bodies and minds.

    In my own life, I use essential oils for general stress relief, to help me focus and concentrate and to help me sleep. I am so happy to have discovered aromatic oils, because they’ve helped me so much. These same essential oils are now found in all natural plant-based perfumes.

    Perfume Made from Essential Oils

    Generally, natural perfumes are mixed with a carrier oil, such as jojoba. That’s because essential oils are too strong to put on your skin unless they’re diluted.

    Transcendence women’s perfume shown below is made from essential oils mixed with jojoba oil. Jojoba comes from a desert plant. It’s used in a lot of natural cosmetics because it’s pure and its chemical composition resembles human sebum.

    I love how the products I own, which contain jojoba oil, make my skin feel. The other ingredients in Transcendence are essential oils. There is nothing artificial or potentially toxic.

    The aromatic oils in this formula include lavender, rose and clary sage, which has a woody, mysterious scent. Transcendence also contains ylang ylang oil. This comes from a tropical flower that’s highly fragrant, and associated with romance. I’ve read that in Indonesia, the beds of newlyweds are covered with ylang ylang blossoms.
