Aromatherapy in natural cosmetics: More than just fragrance

Essential oils are considered the soul of many plants – and are at the heart of high-quality natural cosmetics. Their effects extend far beyond fragrance: In aromatherapy, they unfold their potential for the skin, senses, and emotions.

What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a branch of herbal medicine (phytotherapy). It uses highly concentrated essential oils to bring balance to the body and soul. Its effect occurs in two ways:

Olfactory – via the sense of smell into the limbic system, which controls our emotions
Topically – through the skin, where essential oils have a nourishing, circulation-promoting or balancing effect

In myrto natural cosmetics, essential oils don't just serve as fragrance carriers—they have a holistic effect. We use only pure, natural essential oils from certified organic cultivation.

❓ Frequently asked questions about aromatherapy in natural cosmetics

What distinguishes pure essential oils from “perfume”?

The term "perfume" often encompasses synthetic or undeclared fragrances. Pure essential oils, on the other hand, are complex plant extracts from organic farming whose composition is fully disclosed and therapeutically effective.

Can I use essential oils if I have sensitive skin?

Yes – provided they are natural, correctly dosed, and of high-quality organic quality. Our myrto products are suitable for sensitive skin and free from irritating fragrance blends.

How do essential oils affect the psyche?

Essential oils exert a direct effect on the limbic system—our emotional center—via the sense of smell. Depending on the oil, this can have a calming, balancing, activating, or mood-enhancing effect.

How do I find the right essential oil for me?

Choose according to your mood or skin needs: Lavender calms, rosemary invigorates, grapefruit lifts the mood. Combination products with multiple oils often offer a balanced effect.

Are products containing essential oils also sustainable?

Yes – pure essential oils are biodegradable and harm neither the skin nor the environment. Our myrto products rely on ecologically responsible raw materials and transparent origins.
