Essential Oils for Skincare Products

Essential oils are plant extracts, most commonly obtained by distillation of raw material plant (leaves, flowers, wood, bark, roots, seeds). This post lists the most commonly used essential oils for skincare products, their properties and strenghts, what is myth and what is science. In the end, you can always use them to give your homemade skincare a natural, wonderful scent.

You can read more about essential oils in Best Essential Oils for Soap Making or Are Essential Oils Safe For Soap?, where I extensively explain what are essential oils.

In this article I am going to focus more on its strengths to be used in natural cosmetics, like creams, lotions, balms or salves and many other products (apart from soaps), where chemical reactions are much milder or even non-existent, and where the essential oil can be used with its full power.

It is important to highlight that essential oils quality is critical to fully benefit from its properties. And be attentive to not purchase a fragrant oil as an essential oil, they are far from having the same medicinal properties, only being able to replicate the aroma. You can find more about how and where to purchase essential oils in this article: 6 Best Essential Oil Brands For DIY Recipes.

I am also going to clarify whether its medicinal properties are science-based or not, as the internet is filled with unfounded or flat-out false claims. The general lack of study in natural products, and the fact that the essential oil industry is a multimillion-dollar one already, both help to keep this “mystic aura” of “miraculous remedy” as truth. Or that they are a flat-out scam.

I use essential oils mostly for its scent, although it makes some sense that they possess some medicinal properties. But let’s clarify.

Essential Oils Chart For Skin Care Products

Essential oils are widely used as fragrances in natural skin care products, allying their scents to medicinal properties. Unlike soaps, where the essential oil fragrance tend to fade, the scent of essential oils remains strong throughout the usage of the product. And the essential oil’s medicinal properties are imparted into it as well.

Below you can find a chart with essential oils’ properties and what quantities you may use, grouped by skin type, to help you formulate your own products according to your skin needs. 

Be aware that many essential oils lack enough scientific studies to backup medicinal properties’ claims, so I make a distinction between science-based known properties and what is stated on the net. I am not claiming whether these statements are true or false, only that there are not enough studies to back them up.

essential oils for skincare products

Is it strange that an essential oil works for you but is not backed up by science? Not at all.

There is no standardization of essential oil products used across research studies. As an example, there is a big difference between true and spiked lavender oil. Furthermore, the chemical composition of essential oils varies depending on several factors such as extraction techniques used, the country of origin, the climate, the soil type, and the age of the plant. Studies themselves are also not standardized, making comparisons or objective statements almost impossible to make.

So, feel free to enjoy your essential oils, by their scent, or even by their medicinal properties, even if it’s not proven that they work.

Essential Oils For Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin can be either dry or oily, and can sometimes occur alongside allergies, eczema, and other skin conditions.

To be honest, if you have sensitive skin, my advice is to not use any essential oil at all. If you still wish to give it a try, try one of these, but make a skin test first.

Conclusion

If you spend some time on the internet researching about essential oils, you will see a lot of contradictory information, namely between scientific claims and bloggers that promote the usage of essential oils, most of the time for aromatherapy.

I use essential oils as they are a natural way to scent natural products, but I am in conflict about its true medicinal properties. I am not saying they don’t exist, but that they are unknown/unproven in terms of effectiveness in human health and skincare. For sure, its therapeutical properties are overstated in some websites.

Again, if you have sensitive skin, I would advise against the usage of any fragrance at all, as they are filled with allergens, natural or not.

Then what to do? Use your best judgement. The usage of fragrances, natural or synthetic, as long as the product is classified as adequate for skincare, and as long as you don’t have allergies to its ingredients, is also valid. Most of all, be sure to purchase good quality products. And products with information on the net, where you can consult the list of ingredients.

Use fragrances because you like the aroma, most of all. In the end, the choice is yours.

  1. What a great chart for reference! I hope you consider making this downloadable, perhaps with print options, at some point in the future as it would be a great reference to share.

    I love essential oils. We use them in our diffusers and in some mixtures, too. They offer quite a beautiful scent, if nothing else.

    But I found them quite beneficial for helping my Dad when he was very ill. They soothed him (mostly using the diffuser) and calmed him. In fact, my son used them in similar fashion for his aged dog. It helped him to sleep more calmly.

    I’m always interested in more information on essential oils. I’ll be visiting your site often!

    • Hello Diane and thanks for your comment!!

      Also thanks for your very nice suggestion of making a printable for this chart!! This is good not only for soapmaking but for other cosmetis such as lotions, salves, balms, serums, etc. You can also use the oil stand-alone over your skin, and with this chart you will know what sort of treatment you are giving to your skin.

      Cheers,

  2. I was wondering which essential oils hydrate the skin. And I find Chamomile is excellent in an essential oil blend. I would highlight chamomile with lavender.

    Also, cedarwood oils diluted with jojoba or coconut oil are great for people with, particularly sensitive skin. And they can even be used on children.

    • Hello Paolo and thanks for your comment.

      It’s a good question and I’d say you are right, chamomile and lavender are perhaps best suited for hydrating skin. However, carrier oils are much better for that. Jojoba oil is indeed the best oil to hydrate skin, with a fatty profile very similar to human fat (sebum), so very mild as well, but it’s expensive. 

      Speaking of essential oils and carrier oils, I would not recommend using essential oils directly on the skin, only diluted on a carrier oil (general rule is to use 3% of essential oil, which means 3ml per 100ml of carrier oil) 

      For sensitive skin, to be honest, I would not recommend using essential oils, at least not without a skin test first. I would also stick to the recommended quantities, as mentioned above. For a baby I would only use a carrier oil if the purpose is to hydrate skin. I have used sweet almond oil with no essential oil on my daughter when she was a baby, and it worked perfectly.

      Cheers,

      Sofia
