What Are The Properties Of A Single Essential Oil

The properties of unilateral essential oils mainly include high concentration, high permeability, volatility and synergy Unilateral essential oil is an essential ingredient extracted from the whole plant or a certain part of a plant, with high purity, usually named after the name of the plant, such as rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil, etc.

The high concentration of essential oils means that they are extremely pure and generally cannot be used directly on the skin, requiring sufficient dilution before use. Due to their high permeability, essential oils can be absorbed into the skin in a short period of time, entering the epidermis, dermis, and even the circulatory system3. In addition, unilateral essential oils are also volatile, and can be divided into high, medium and low volatile essential oils according to the volatilization rate, which affects the use effect and preservation of essential oils. Finally, the synergistic nature of a single essential oil suggests that two or more essential oils work better when used together, better than using one essential oil alone.
