Infused Essential Oils
Infused Essential Oils are created by steeping herbs, flowers, or botanicals in a carrier oil to extract their aromatic and therapeutic properties. Unlike steam-distilled essential oils, infused oils capture the essence of the plant material through prolonged maceration, resulting in a gentle and rich oil used widely in aromatherapy, skincare, and massage.
These oils are prized for their mild scent, skin-conditioning benefits, and ability to carry the active compounds of botanicals. Infused oils often serve as bases in natural formulations and offer a more subtle alternative to pure essential oils.
