What are essential oils?
Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants. They can come from the flower, the leaves, the bark, the seeds, and even the root. In the world, there are nearly 400,000 plants capable of producing essential oils.
How are essential oils obtained?
There are two ways to get organic essential oils.
By distillation: This involves boiling the organ of the aromatic plant to create steam, the latter will contain volatile aromatic molecules. After cooling, it will create hydrosol and essential oil.
By the expression: To do this, just squeeze the gasoline pockets of a plant. This technique is often used for citrus fruits.
Are essential oils dangerous?
Organic essential oils are full of benefits for the face, hair, and body. They also act on the emotional level, with calming, de-stressing properties, etc. Often used as an alternative to synthetic perfumes, they allownatural beauty products to smell pleasant and also contribute to their preservation.
So why create cosmetics without essential oils? Quite simply because their use can, in certain cases, be dangerous. Indeed, natural does not mean harmless! Essential oils are very concentrated and powerful, they are able to pass through our epidermis to reach our blood system. They act in a general way in our body and have effects on our organism, to which they can be toxic.
When should you avoid essential oils?
Essential oils are contraindicated:
- During the first three months of pregnancy.
- For people with hormone-dependent cancer.
- For overly sensitive skin which may not tolerate the allergenic components contained in certain oils.
If you are in one of these 3 cases, choose vegetable oils and hydrosols, and cosmetics without essential oils.
Note: In cosmetics, essential oils are regulated and their dosage is (very) limited. On the other hand, if you use them pure or you make your own cosmetics, they must be dosed with precision so as not to attack the skin!

Our routines without organic essential oils
My routine without essential oils for sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is very reactive and can therefore be quickly irritated by essential oils. In particular when they are present in too high a dosage in certain cosmetics. This is why it is sometimes better to opt for a gentle beauty ritual.
We start with double cleansing to purify the skin and prepare it for treatment. Make this step pleasant thanks to La Canopée Gentle Cleansing Oil with Flowers, which removes make-up while soothing the skin, and Oatopia facial cleansing cream from Nini Organics, which flushes out impurities and strengthens the protective barrier. We continue with the Red Avert Adaptology Tonic Lotion which instantly hydrates and relieves sensitive skin. We continue with the Instant Kalmer Serum from Paï which reduces the appearance of redness and stimulates the natural production of collagen. And finally, opt for On The Wild Side Day Cream, which moisturizes and regenerates the skin, or The Light Fantastic Oilfrom Paï, which soothes plumps, and strengthens the skin barrier.
My routine without essential oils for blemish-prone skin
Skin with imperfections requires special attention because it must be treated without being attacked. Often sensitive and prone to irritation, a routine without essential oils can be welcome!
A routine always begins with a double cleansing, Akane Cleansing Oil gently removes all makeup residue. The Break Free Cleanser from Adaptology helps purify, rebalance and tighten pores. The added bonus is that it is not drying out. We continue with the Nini Organics Rain Face Mist which hydrates, protects, and regenerates the skin. We continue with the Aurelia Resurfacing Serum: A concentrate of super-ingredients that visibly smoothes the skin texture and reduces redness & inflammation. To finish on a veil of hydration, opt for On The Wild Side Moisturizing Fluid or Make it Beauty Oil Blend 2141.
My routine without essential oils for mature skin
Mature skin is naturally thinner which makes it much more sensitive, which is why it may need to be pampered with a beauty routine without essential oils (but effective!).
Double cleansing of the skin is a crucial step in a skincare routine, Adaptology's Time Wrap Cleansing Oilis the ideal ally for mature skin. Much more than a cleansing oil, it is a real anti-aging treatment packed with vitamin C that boosts skin cells. Continue with Tata Harper Softening Cleanser, which strengthens the skin barrier and soothes the skin. We continue with the Time Wrap Adaptology Lotion which accelerates cell renewal, brightens the complexion, and plumps the skin. We opt for Tata Harper Superkind Serum which smooths wrinkles, firms, and illuminates the skin. and finally, for hydration, we finish with Tata Harper Fortifying Moisturizing Creamor Glory Oil Eco By Sonya.
