Essential Oil Blend
What Essential Oil Blend is & what it does
Essential Oil Blend is a general INCI label for a combination of two or more plant essential oils used together in a formula. Such blends are added mainly for natural fragrance and aromatic character, and sometimes for the sensory or spa-like experience they create. The exact composition varies by product, so the specific oils are defined by the manufacturer. Because essential oils contain concentrated aromatic constituents, blends are used at low levels and can be a source of fragrance sensitivity for some users.
