How to choose your essential oil?

Buying essential oils shouldn't be a haphazard decision. These concentrated plant extracts require expertise to guarantee their effectiveness and your safety. Here's what makes Bon Sens different.

In summary, depending on your needs:

A product-friendly extraction method

The quality of an essential oil depends directly on its extraction method. We favor two traditional methods that preserve the integrity of the aromatic molecules:

  • Steam distillation: Used for the majority of our plants (such as Peppermint, Eucalyptus or Ravintsara), this gentle technique allows the essential oil to be collected without altering it by excessive heat.
  • Cold expression (or cold pressing): This mechanical method is reserved for citrus peels (such as our lemon or sweet orange essential oil). It allows us to obtain a pure essence, bursting with sunshine and natural fragrance.

Why choose organic products in aromatherapy?

An essential oil is an ultra-concentrated product. If the original plant was treated with pesticides, these will be concentrated in your bottle. Choosing an organic essential oil guarantees a treatment free of chemical residues, respectful of your body and the environment.

Uses and benefits: Common sense in everyday life

Our versatile oils easily integrate into your routine. Here are a few tips for practical use:

  • In a diffuser: To purify the air or create a relaxing atmosphere (consider Lavandin, a close cousin of Lavender, for relaxation).
  • In cooking: Thanks to their food grade quality, a single drop is enough to flavor a dish or dessert as a powerful natural ingredient.
  • On the skin: Always diluted in a neutral vegetable oil, they are used in massage for muscular or skin well-being.
