Guide to Aromatherapy Products

 

 

An essential oil is a highly concentrated, volatile aromatic extract obtained from specialised cells within plants. Depending on the plant, the oil may be extracted from the flowers, leaves, bark, wood, roots, seeds, fruit peel, or resin.

Most essential oils are produced by steam distillation, while citrus oils are typically cold pressed from the fruit peel.

Because essential oils are so highly concentrated, only a small amount is needed. They are volatile, meaning they evaporate readily into the air, giving them their characteristic aroma. They are fat-soluble (lipophilic) but do not mix with water, and they are generally much thinner in consistency than vegetable (carrier) oils.

At Aromaflex, we source high-quality essential oils to help you experience the remarkable chemistry and natural aroma of plants.

A synergy is a carefully balanced blend of two or more essential oils, formulated so that the oils complement one another in both aroma and overall therapeutic purpose. By combining selected essential oils, the blend may provide a broader aromatic profile and a more balanced experience than using a single oil alone.

Like all pure essential oils, synergies are highly concentrated and should be diluted appropriately before topical application unless otherwise directed.

Carrier oils are plant-based oils that are used to safely dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and other naturally occurring nutrients, they help nourish, protect, and moisturise the skin while allowing essential oils to be applied more evenly during massage, skincare, and aromatherapy treatments.

Most carrier oils are cold pressed from the seeds, nuts, kernels, or fruit of plants to preserve their natural nutritional properties.

At Aromaflex, we carefully select high-quality carrier oils for their purity, skin benefits, and compatibility with essential oils.

 An aromatherapy blend is created by combining one or more essential oils with a carrier oil, making the essential oils ready for safe topical application. The carrier oil dilutes the essential oils while helping to moisturise and nourish the skin.

Aromatherapy blends can be gently massaged into the skin as part of your daily wellbeing routine. They are commonly used for massage, skincare, after bathing or showering, and for enjoying the natural aroma of essential oils. Different blends are carefully formulated for specific purposes, from relaxation and self-care to facial and body massage.

At Aromaflex, each blend is professionally formulated using high-quality essential oils and premium carrier oils to create products that are both enjoyable to use and kind to the skin.

 A hydrosol (also known as a hydrolat, floral water, or plant water) is the aromatic water produced during the steam distillation of essential oils. Rather than being simply a by-product, hydrosols are a valuable co-product of the distillation process, containing water-soluble plant constituents and trace amounts of essential oil.

Because hydrosols are much gentler than essential oils, they are ideal for use as facial mists, body sprays, room sprays, linen sprays, skincare, and other aromatherapy preparations. Their mild nature makes them suitable for everyday use by many people.

At Aromaflex, all of our hydrosols are grown, distilled, and sourced in New Zealand, ensuring freshness, quality, and traceability.

Aromatherapy sprays are carefully formulated by combining hydrosols with selected essential oils to create refreshing, easy-to-use products for everyday wellbeing. Depending on the blend, they can be enjoyed as body sprays, room sprays, linen sprays, or air fresheners.

Designed to freshen your environment and enhance your daily routine, Aromaflex sprays provide a convenient way to enjoy the natural aroma of essential oils at home, in the office, or on the go.

At Aromaflex, our sprays are professionally formulated using premium New Zealand hydrosols and high-quality essential oils.
