Vital Energy of the Plants Comes Through In Premium-Grade Essential Oils

The vital force of flowers and plants is present and intact to a very large degree in all of PHYTO5 skincare through the use and proprietary blending of essential oils, extracts and flower waters. It's why we call our skincare energetic.  It possesses vital energy that is easily and joyously received and efficiently utilized by the skin and body.

The essential oils on department store shelves in most cases are NOT the same high quality grade of essential oil used in PHYTO5 skincare products.

For example, the damask rose essential oil used in many of PHYTO5's Ageless La Cure products is so enormously expensive most other skincare companies will not even consider using it in their product formulations.

The Science of Essential Oil Distillation

The natural chemistry of essential oils is a very narrow and specialized field. The quality and manner of distillation of essential oils vary widely in the cosmetics industry. In order to arrive at the most exacting end-product, PHYTO5 also takes into consideration the species of the flora being distilled to essential oil, its origin, the soil, climate, and year in which the flora was grown.

Essential oils are distilled from plants, flowers, roots, seeds, shrubs or tree parts. Their quality depends both on the raw material and the extraction or distillation process. Overheating in the extraction process can destroy the prized vital properties of the plant fluid. 

An enormously large amount of raw material is required to make just one drop of essential oil. For example,

  • 2,500 pounds of rose petals are required for one cup of rose essential oil.

  • 1,300 pounds of cinnamon are needed to yield barely more than one half cup (about 5 oz.) of cinnamon essential oil.
