Using potent botanics extracted carefully and sustainably from natural sources, our essential oil blends are both healing and powerful
There’s something sacred about opening a bottle of essential oil. The scent fills the air, delicate yet powerful, and with PURAS essential oil blends, you get more than just aromatherapy, but a fragment of nature itself.
We’ve always believed that purity is not a luxury, but a core in aromatherapy. But in a world where synthetics often masquerade as the real thing, how do you know what’s truly pure?
Pure vs synthetic: A difference you can feel
Pure essential oil is the unfiltered essence of a plant’s healing elements— a gentle extraction of its aromatic lifeforce. It’s what carries lavender’s calm, eucalyptus’ clarity, and lemongrass essential oil’s crisp, sunny brightness straight to your senses.
A synthetic oil, in contrast, is a clever imitation. Made in labs to mimic the smell, it may trick your nose, but it holds no therapeutic value.
Synthetic products are often marketed with words like “organic” or “natural,” yet behind the label, they’re filled with fillers and artificial chemicals, such as phthalates, parabens, and petroleum-derived solvents. These chemicals are tactically added to cut costs, extend shelf life, and maximise profit margins at the expense of purity and efficacy.
How do you tell if an essential oil is 100% pure?
Like any meaningful relationship, trust begins with transparency. Here’s how to spot the real thing:
-
It’s proudly labelled: Look for the words “100% pure essential oil.” Anything less is… well, less.
-
Botanical names are shown: Not just “rose”, but Rosa damascena. Not just “peppermint”, but Mentha piperita.
-
No strange additives: No carrier oils unless clearly stated. No synthetic fragrances.
-
Glass bottles, always: Amber or cobalt blue glass keeps the oil stable and light-safe. Plastic is a red flag.
-
It doesn’t scream ‘perfume’: Real essential oils are layered and complex. They breathe and evolve. Synthetics tend to hit one loud note and stay there.
And of course, a good brand will tell you where, how, and why their oils are made.
At PURAS, every bottle of our quality essential oil is both healing and dynamic, sourced carefully and sustainably from natural sources. We believe you deserve to know what you’re placing on your skin and what you’re breathing in.
Are 100% pure essential oils safe?
Nature requires balance. Because essential oils are highly concentrated, a single drop can be incredibly potent.
To use them:
-
Dilute first using a gentle carrier like jojoba or almond oil before touching skin.
-
Use with care. Ensure you avoid touching broken skin or sensitive areas. Never ingest without guidance.
-
Perform a patch test, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
-
Less is truly more. You only need a few drops for an optimum dosage.
Whether through an aroma diffuser in your workspace or as part of your skincare ritual, essential oils only work when they’re real.
Do essential oils expire?
Unlike synthetic essential oils that cling unnaturally for years, pure essential oils are alive, constantly exhaling energy. And like all living things, they age.
-
Citrus oils (such as sweet orange and bergamot) tend to oxidise faster. Use them within 1–2 years.
-
Woods and resins (frankincense or patchouli) mature slowly and gracefully. Some even deepen in aroma over time.
Some tips to maximise shelf-life of pure essential oils:
-
Keep them out of sunlight.
-
Use airtight glass bottles.
-
Don’t double-dip droppers or leave caps off too long.
Why essential oil purity matters
Whether through an aroma diffuser in your workspace or as part of your skincare ritual, essential oils only work when they’re real.
Synthetics may smell ‘nice’: floral, fruity, even “fresh”. However, behind the perfumed façade lies a hidden toll. These lab-made imitations can irritate sensitive skin, overwhelm your senses, or linger as invisible pollutants in your indoor air, disrupting rather than restoring your equilibrium.
Studies suggest that the artificial chemicals used in many synthetic fragrance blends can interfere with hormone function and disrupt the endocrine system.
Pure essential oils, on the other hand, offer far more than just fragrance. They carry mother nature’s original intention — its chemistry, vitality, and healing intelligence — in every drop.
Here’s what true purity delivers:
-
Emotional support through scent: Calming lavender, uplifting citrus, grounding frankincense; each aroma works on a subtle yet profound level to balance mood and restore inner calm.
-
Naturally antimicrobial properties: Many pure oils like tea tree, eucalyptus, and peppermint are nature’s own defenders, helping to cleanse skin and purify air without harsh chemicals.
-
Skin-friendly nourishment: When diluted correctly, essential oils can soothe inflammation, reduce blemishes, or promote radiance.
-
A cleaner home and mind: Used in an aroma diffuser, pure essential oils replace synthetic air fresheners with natural, soul-lifting alternatives that freshen the air while calming the nervous system.
-
Support for restful sleep and focus: Whether misted onto your pillow, massaged into pulse points, or blended into your bath, the right oil blend can help you fall asleep or sharpen your clarity for the day ahead.
