Pure Essential Oils
— Benefits, Uses & How to Buy
Everything you need to know about essential oils — from choosing the right oil to using it safely. 100% pure, therapeutic-grade oils available for delivery across India.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts — capturing the very essence of a plant's scent and beneficial compounds. They are obtained through steam distillation, cold pressing, or solvent extraction of leaves, flowers, bark, roots, and seeds.
Unlike fragrance oils (which are synthetic), essential oils are 100% natural and carry genuine therapeutic properties. A single drop of high-quality lavender oil, for example, contains the natural calming compounds found in an entire lavender plant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts captured through steam distillation or cold pressing. They contain the natural scent and beneficial compounds of the plant, used in aromatherapy, skincare, haircare, and wellness.
Which essential oil is best for sleep?
Lavender essential oil is the most research-backed oil for sleep. Other great options include chamomile, sandalwood, and cedarwood. Diffuse 3–5 drops in your bedroom 30 minutes before sleeping.
Can I apply essential oils directly to skin?
Essential oils must always be diluted in a carrier oil (like jojoba or almond oil) before applying to skin. A safe ratio is 2–3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil. Never apply undiluted to skin.
What is the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?
Essential oils are 100% natural plant extracts with therapeutic properties. Fragrance oils are synthetic and made in labs — they smell similar but have no therapeutic benefits. Always check the label for '100% pure' or 'therapeutic grade'.
How do I use essential oils in a diffuser?
Add 100–200ml of water to your diffuser, then add 3–5 drops of essential oil. Run for 30–60 minutes at a time. Do not exceed 2 hours of continuous diffusion in a closed room.
Are essential oils safe for kids and pets?
Some essential oils are safe at very low dilutions for children over 2 years (like lavender), but many are not. For pets, especially cats, oils like tea tree, eucalyptus, and citrus can be toxic. Always consult a professional before use around children or pets.
