Essential Oils & Skin Wellness – Topical Benefits

A common customer question is, “Why do you use essential oils in your products?”

All essential oils have antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties to varying degrees, along with a plant intelligence that works with the skin's beneficial bacteria to help with immunity. On top of that, these nourishing nectars offer exceptionally pleasing and uplifting aromas.

We select essential oils known for their topical benefits, ranging from soothing inflammation and promoting cell regeneration to improving hydration and elasticity, making them much more than just a luxury fragrance.

Here we showcase the topical benefits of two of our favorite essential oils. For a comprehensive list of our ingredients and their specific roles, please visit our website.

Organic Rose Oil

Renowned for centuries for its hydrating and anti-aging properties, organic rose otto essential oil goes beyond providing a pleasant scent. Research supports its role in providing valuable antioxidants to the skin barrier, as well as improving skin elasticity and moisture retention while reducing inflammation.

It's known to help smooth wrinkles, add resiliency and elasticity to connective tissue in the skin and help speed tissue healing with its antiseptic properties. 

These combined effects of Rose Otto Essential oil contribute to a smoother, more supple complexion and underscore its value as an active component in skin physiology, and is a key ally in skin rejuvenation.

Organic Neroli Oil 

Neroli blossoms are harvested from the bitter orange tree groves (Citrus aurantium subsp. amara or Bigaradia) where their delicate blooms offer their ambrosial sweet, honeyed nectar scent. Effectively astringent, neroli oil helps to fade fine lines, improves skin's elasticity, strengthens fragile skin and helps balance over-productive oil glands. It's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and helps to reduce pore size and prevent water loss in skin cells. 

Scientific studies in the Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences indicate that its ability to promote cell regeneration can help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, making it a functional ingredient for soothing irritated skin and enhancing overall skin clarity.

The aroma of organic Neroli essential oil awakens the senses, enhances your mood and calms frazzled nerves with its tranquil neurotropic properties.

The Downsides of Synthetic Fragrances

The craft of fragrances goes back many years, but these days many modern-day fragrances contain things like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, dyes, aluminum, gluten, mineral oil, silicone, and many endocrine-disrupting chemicals and toxins.

While synthetic fragrances are common in the modern skincare market, they often come with several disadvantages.

Synthetic Fragrances vs Essential Oils

• Purity and Potency: Synthetic fragrances are often created using chemical compounds that mimic natural scents but lack the beneficial properties of genuine essential oils. In contrast, essential oils are natural products with no synthetic ingredients and rich in antioxidants and nutrients that support skin health.
• Safety and Sensitivity: Many synthetic fragrances can trigger allergic reactions or irritate sensitive skin. Organic essential oils are carefully sourced and minimally processed to preserve their natural integrity, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
• Environmental Impact: Synthetic chemicals can have harmful effects on the environment. By opting for organic essential oils, we ensure our products are not only beneficial for your skin but also kind to the planet.
• Holistic Wellness: At Honey Girl Organics, we believe in the holistic approach to wellness. The aromatherapeutic benefits of our essential oils, combined with their topical advantages, contribute to an overall sense of balance and well-being—something synthetic fragrances simply cannot match.
