Essential oil and essence are made from different raw materials. Essential oil is mainly extracted from plants by distillation, cold pressing and other methods, so it has a strong aroma and natural components of plants. Essence is made by extracting active ingredients from plants through science and technology and adding proper amount of humectant, stabilizer and other ingredients.
They also have different uses. Essential oil usually needs to be diluted with diluent before use, because its concentration is high, and direct use may cause irritation to the skin. This essence can be used directly on the skin without additional dilution. Because of the difference in use, we should pay attention to the correct operation according to the instructions in the product manual.
Essential oils and essences have different effects. Essential oil is mainly based on its aromatherapy, which helps people relax and relieve stress through aromatherapy lamps and massage. Essence pays more attention to skin repair and nourishment, which can improve skin quality, brighten skin tone and reduce fine lines. The essence of different brands may also have a specific role, such as hydrating and moisturizing, and fading acne marks.
There are some differences between essential oil and essence in terms of composition. Essential oils are mainly composed of volatile substances, such as aromatic hydrocarbons and ketones. These components have small molecular structures, so they are easily absorbed by the skin. Essence usually contains a variety of active ingredients, such as peptides, hyaluronic acid and so on. These ingredients can directly act on the skin surface, and play its role in repairing and nourishing.
Although there are similarities between essential oil and essence in some aspects, there are still some differences in terms of raw materials, usage, efficacy and composition. When choosing a product that suits your needs, you should choose according to your own situation and needs and follow the correct use method to get the best results.
