What is the difference between natural and synthetic fragrance oils?
Natural fragrance oils are derived from sources like flowers, fruits, spices, herbs, and resins, using extraction methods such as steam distillation and cold pressing. These oils contain only natural compounds, creating a complex aroma that can vary slightly between batches due to factors like crop quality and climate. Synthetic fragrance oils, however, are created in laboratories using chemical synthesis. They can replicate natural scents or produce entirely new ones. A key advantage is consistency, as synthetic oils provide uniformity across batches. They are often more affordable and stable, with a longer shelf life, though some may contain compounds like phthalates, which are less desirable to consumers seeking natural products.
