Welcome

Welcome to my blog! My name is Virginia and I am the owner of Aromas of Eden. I am very new to blogging so bear with me. I recently started this small business and am very excited about it. I love studying about essential oils and using them in bath and body products. I only use 100% pure essential oils in my products.Why do I only use essential oils you ask? Because they are much more beneficial and healthy than fragrance oils. Fragrance oils are mostly made up of synthetic compounds in which many of the components are known skin irritants. Chemists make these synthetic compounds by dismantling the unique chemical compound of an essential oil, drastically lowering the quality to save money and increase profit. Furthermore, most of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum and include benzene derivatives, aldehydes and many other known toxins and synthesizers capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions. Essential oils are natural mixtures of organic compounds and are generally extracted by distillation. They are called essential oils because they were once thought to represent the very essence of odor and flavor. Depending on each individual oil, they have many therapeutic properties that can aid in a number of different physical, mental, and emotional areas. On top of that, many of them have beautiful aromas that make you smell delightful and lighten up your day. Aromatherapy Benefits + Smelling Great = Win, Win!
