Why do you use essential oils instead of fragrance oils?"
The answer is simple – I believe in keeping my products as close to nature as possible.
At Somerset Natural Soaps, every scented product is fragranced using carefully selected pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance oils. Essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, fruits, woods and herbs, bringing the natural aroma of the plants themselves into each product.
🌿What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts obtained from natural botanical sources such as lavender, peppermint, sweet orange, rosemary and geranium. Each oil has its own unique aroma, which means every blend has its own character.
Whether it's the calming scent of lavender, the uplifting freshness of citrus oils or the earthy richness of patchouli, each blend is created using nature's own fragrance.
🌿Why I Choose Essential Oils
Using essential oils is an important part of my business philosophy. I want my products to contain ingredients that are carefully chosen and inspired by nature.
Essential oils allow me to create distinctive botanical blends without relying on synthetic perfumes. Their aromas are often more subtle and can vary slightly from batch to batch, reflecting the natural variation found in plants.
Handmade with Nature in Mind
Every soap, balm, moisturiser, body butter and skincare product is handmade in small batches here in Somerset.
Alongside essential oils, I also choose high-quality plant oils, botanical extracts and butters, creating products that reflect my commitment to natural ingredients.
🌿A Natural Choice
Choosing essential oils is just one part of what makes Somerset Natural Soaps different.
Along with being palm oil free, handmade in Somerset and packaged with sustainability in mind wherever possible, using essential oils helps me stay true to the values on which my business was founded.
If you're looking for beautifully handcrafted skincare made with botanical ingredients and naturally scented with essential oils, I'd love you to explore the Somerset Natural Soaps collection.
