The Essentials Of Aromatherapy Rose and Neroli, the two most expensive essential oils valued for their exceptional healing powers and therapeutic effects, are the key essential oils for Beata's Organic Skincare™   The Egyptians have, centuries ago, developed some of the most refined techniques for skincare and cosmetology, with recipes that have endured to the present day. Aromatics have always been the major active ingredient in ancient Egyptian preparations. Essential oils are natural anti-oxidants effective in fighting harmful bacteria and pushing out toxins in our body system. They also help carry important nutrients to our body cells. As essential oils are the basis of plant life, they are naturally water-soluble and therefore make such effective transporters of nutrients and oxygen to every cell in our body system.

They must be extracted through the steam distillation method in carefully controlled conditions where the water is completely chemical-free, and to specific temperatures within a specified time frame. This is why top quality essential oils are so expensive.   To obtain top quality essential oils by the distillation process, the plant material is placed in a container where steam is forced through it into an outlet pipe. This action causes the release of essential oils from the plant material. The vapor passes through the pipe and runs through a second jacket of cold water before dripping into a second container. In the second container, the vaporized essential oil and water then condenses back to liquid form and separates. The liquefied essential oil and water, being of different densities, are collected separately. The result is essential oils in its purest form used in all of Beata's Organic Skincare™ products.
