The essenti...Nope, they aren't the same thing. The essential oil is distilled, either by steam or another method, whereas, as I understand it, to make the extract, rosemary is infused in alcohol (similar to something like vanilla extract) and then the alcohol is evaporated off, leaving a thicker, resinous substance behind. The extract manages to isolate more of the antioxidant properties than the essential oil. So, while the essential oil could have the same properties, in theory, it would be somewhat weaker and less effective. Hope that makes sense!Caitiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698164168416976845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226777357926708402.post-27500145571179102972014-01-24T17:17:22.681-05:002014-01-24T17:17:22.681-05:00Would Rosemary Essential Oil be the same as Rosema...Would Rosemary Essential Oil be the same as Rosemary extract?

Lotioncrafter and Mountain Rose Herbs are good starting points and then I'll usually search for more information on a specific oil or ingredient that interests me. I'm also totally guilty of scouting out companies websites to see what ingredients they're using (and often an explanation of why they've included it) and then perhaps using it or something similar in my own concoctions. Hope that helps!Caitiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698164168416976845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226777357926708402.post-68160998016107356602014-01-18T19:43:30.457-05:002014-01-18T19:43:30.457-05:00I can relate, my skin can be sensitive too!

That way if my skin doesn't react well, I don't wast any by having mixed up a big bottle. You might also look at products that you know work for your skin to see what oils are in them and go from there!Caitiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698164168416976845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226777357926708402.post-75300302784381820172014-01-18T19:37:38.000-05:002014-01-18T19:37:38.000-05:00I've yet to try either of those, but prickly p...I've yet to try either of those, but prickly pear is at the top of my list! I've heard the same about scents you're attracted to, but then I've also heard from different sources that scents you have a strong dislike of are the ones that your body need the most. I'm not sure which way is right...Caitiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698164168416976845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226777357926708402.post-23069117640589695932014-01-18T19:34:19.196-05:002014-01-18T19:34:19.196-05:00Thanks!
