ZION ZEN Naturals

Essential oils with emollient properties help hydrate and moisturize the skin by forming a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss. Examples include jojoba oil, coconut oil, and argan oil, which are suitable for dry or dehydrated skin.

Anti-inflammatory

Essential oils like chamomile, rosemary, and frankincense exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and sunburns. They can also reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.

Antimicrobial
Many essential oils possess strong antimicrobial properties, making them effective in combating bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that can lead to skin infections and acne. Examples include tea tree oil, lavender oil, and thyme oil.

Solvent Extraction

Some delicate plant materials, such as flowers, are too fragile for steam distillation. In solvent extraction, a solvent like hexane is used to dissolve the essential oil from the plant material. The solvent is then removed, leaving behind the concentrated essential oil.

Carbon Dioxide Extraction

This method involves using carbon dioxide in its supercritical state to extract essential oils. The CO2 acts as a solvent to dissolve the oils from the plant material. Once the pressure is released, the CO2 evaporates, leaving behind pure essential oil.
