The term "irritant" usually means that the oil can cause a dermal or skin irritation when used in any real concentration, and should be used with caution if ay all.

Sensitising means that the oil may cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin.

*Note* A "patch text" in which a very small amount of the oil is tested on a small area of skin is always a good idea when using any oil for the first time. Essential oils are made from natural pants, but some people may have allergic reactions to some oils.

What is the difference between an aromatherapy oil and essential oil?

Essential oils are actually not "oils" at all. They are volatile organic compounds made up of a variety of chemicals but because they contain no lipids, they are not technically considered oils--at least nutritionally. "Ordinary" vegetable oils, on the other hand, contain lipids and that's what makes them "oils". Some vegetable oils contain what scientists call essential fatty acids. These are fatty acids that the body needs but cannot make on its own. But they should not be confused with the botanical extracts known as essential oils. Essential oils are oils that use in aromatherapy. These oils have a therapeutic property and if use correctly can overcome some health problems.
