AquaSapone, premium grade essential oils from Australia for aromatherapy and cosmetics
Blending suggestions for other essential oils:
Lavender 40/42, Orange Five Fold, Peppermint, Rosemary Cineole
For each of the Australian essential oils described in our online Data Sheets, we suggest a number of blends, which we encourage you to prepare and use in your aromatherapy products (1). Some of our blends include popular essential oils of non-Australian provenance, such as Lavender, Orange, Peppermint, Rosemary.
You might already be familiar with the main characteristics of these essential oils, which are easily available in many countries. Only a few people, however, appreciate how differences in quality, price, duration, scent-appeal and strength of the "raw materials" (the essential oils themselves) can produce widely inconsistent results; so much so, that the same blend can smell absolutely fantastic or completely off, simply depending on where the EO's (2) were sourced, and what their commercial type was.
So we hope that our descriptions and suggestions below might help those who would like to always obtain top quality and consistent results with their Australian essential oil blends.
Lavender 40/42 (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender is one of the essential oils that have the highest number of possible variants. Because it is probably the one most used and sought after, the essential oil of Lavender is also prone to being diluted, corrupted and polluted with cheap "fillers".

Orange Five Fold (Citrus sinensis)
The Orange tree belongs to the Citrus botanical genus (family: Rutaceae), which is characterised by plants yielding juicy fruits, enveloped in a rather thick epicarp (skin), also called peel and rind.

Rosemary Cineole (Rosmarinus officinalis)
In aromatherapy circles, one particular type of Rosemary essential oil seems to always win the prize of "the best": Rosemary Verbenone. In general, however, and for most essential oil users, Rosemary Verbenone seems to demand a much higher price than it is really worth.
