How does this happen? One perfume makes you feel comfortable, another makes you feel calm, while a third brings you happiness. These scents come from essential oils, which are used not only for cosmetic purposes but also for medical and therapeutic applications. This is exactly what our blog explores today. You’ll learn more about these oils, their types, uses, and our best products at Jasmine for Turkish perfumes and fragrances.
Essential oils are cosmetic oils derived from various plant extracts, including leaves, flowers, bark, fruits, roots, and seeds, retaining all their therapeutic properties.
They are highly concentrated hydrophobic liquids, containing active chemical compounds extracted through distillation or cold pressing of one or more parts of the plant.
Essential fragrance oils date back to ancient India, Persia, and Egypt. The ancient Egyptians used these oils in cosmetics and ointments as early as 4500 BC, while traditional Chinese and Indian medicine began employing them for treatments between 3000 and 2000 BC.
The Arabs were the first to develop the technique of plant distillation to extract essential oils. They managed to replace fatty oils, which were previously used as solvents for extraction, with a new solvent they innovated by distilling ethyl alcohol from fermented sugar. During the Middle Ages, this distillation technique spread to Europe, where pharmacies specialized in distilled products.
In 1928, the science of aromatherapy was founded by French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé, building on its ancient global roots. He began analyzing the chemical properties of essential oils after witnessing the healing effects of lavender oil on a burn on his hand. However, aromatherapy did not gain popularity in the United States until the 1980s.
There are many methods used to produce most essential fragrance oils. Here are the most common:
In this method, steam is applied to plant materials, causing the plant to break down and release its aromatic compounds. The steam and oil vapor mixture is then condensed back into a liquid, allowing the oil layers to separate from the water.
This method is typically used for extracting citrus oils through mechanical pressing and grinding of the plant materials. The process must be quick to avoid oxidation or recycling of the resulting oil, which could reduce its quality.
This technique is suitable for plants sensitive to traditional methods, such as jasmine or rose. After extracting the liquids, the aromatic compounds are dissolved in a solvent, and non-volatile impurities like waxes and pigments are removed through filtration.
Essential oils are composed of a complex mixture of components, with a single essential oil sometimes containing hundreds of them. The specific ratios of these components grant the oil its therapeutic properties that promote health.
The most common categories of essential oil components typically include hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen as their main elements, and they can be divided into two categories:
These compounds consist of only carbon and hydrogen. They are made up of terpenes, which include monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes.
These are produced by plants from hydrocarbons and primarily include esters, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, phenols, and oxides.
