"Essential oils should be called 'essential oils'. If names are used that sound evasive, such as 'pure botanical perfume' or 'pure fragrance essence', that is an indication that the supplier is aware that the oils are not true essential oils."
-Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy
With the increasing popularity of essential oils, the market has become increasingly filled with cheap imitations and diluted oils. Essential oils have very real healing properties for the body and mind. Fragrance oils are synthetically made from chemicals and do not offer the same healing properties and effectiveness that essential oils offer. Hippy Elixir bug spray, and future Hippy Elixir products, are made with the highest quality (USDA organic- therapeutic grade oils), unadulterated oils that we are able to source. Plants produce their own immune system defenses and when distilled into an essential oil, those properties remain. It's the reason our bug repelling herbal elixir is so effective.
