Do you know the difference between essential oils and absolutes? πΏ
It all comes down to the extraction method! π
While many oils are extracted through steam distillation, some plants that are too delicate for steam require a solvent extraction method. This means that absolutes not only contain the essential oil, but also natural colourants and other unique components of the plant. The result? A much stronger and more complex scent.
While a little essential oil can go a long way, a little absolute goes even further!
Have you ever tried an absolute? Which one is your favorite? πΏ
