essential oils

essential oils are highly concentrated & potent aromatic extracts distilled from a variety of plant materials. aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to promote well being. to give one example of how concentrated these oils are; it takes 150 pounds of lavender flowers to make one pound of lavender essential oil! there are approximately 40 million trillion molecules in one drop of essential oil; that's 40,000 molecules for each cell in the average human body. this makes essential oils an ideal ingredient to use in skin care since they enter the body so easily. not only are their properties beneficial for topical applications, but their aromas alone can greatly enhance one’s overall well being! mermaid says pledges to never use synthetic fragrances. instead, you’ll find aromatherapy-grade essential oils in most of our products.
