You’ll find essential oils in some of your favorite health, beauty, and cleansing products, as well as right here at Zenbelle in their purest form, but what exactly are they? In short, they’re the “essence” of the plant they come from. They’re oils extracted from the flowers, stems, roots, and other portions of a plant.
The earliest use of them can be traced back to Ancient Egypt in 4500 BC, where they were used in cosmetics and ointments. By 3000 and 2000 BC, Chinese and Indian healers had picked them up, and by 500 and 400 BC, they’d made their way into Greek lives.
