Essential Oils vs. Fragrance Oils: What’s the Difference?

In an age where “natural” labels can be misleading, it’s essential to know the difference between truly pure essential oils and synthetic fragrance oils. At VillageMart.shop, we only offer 100% steam-distilled essential oils made from real plants, herbs, and flowers like lemongrass, eucalyptus, and peppermint. Essential oils are therapeutic—they can boost mood, purify the air, support skin health, and aid relaxation or focus. Fragrance oils, on the other hand, are artificial, petroleum-based compounds made to mimic scents and often contain irritants or allergens. The distinction is critical if you care about your health and the environment. Our essential oils are cruelty-free, chemical-free, and safe for skin, home diffusers, and even DIY beauty or cleaning recipes. Experience wellness in its purest form—powered by nature, perfected by tradition.
