Scentsy Oils FAQ What is an essential oil? Essential oils are aromatic oils extracted physically (typically using steam distillation or expression) from naturallyoccurring plant substances such as citrus peel or pulp, leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots and other plant parts. What is a natural oil? Natural oils are either created from a natural source or single molecules are extracted from an essential or naturally-occurring oil. To create natural oil from a natural source, two or more isolated molecules may be combined together or combined with naturally-occurring enzymes to create a new molecule. While this new molecule may not be found in nature, only natural ingredients are used to create it. What is the difference between Scentsy Essential Oils, Essential Oil Blends and 100% Natural Oils? Scentsy Essential Oils consist of a single essential oil. Scentsy Essential Oil Blends are blends of two or more essential oils. Scentsy 100% Natural Oils are blends of two or more natural and essential oils. All Scentsy Oils are 100 percent natural and naturally-derived; no synthetic ingredients are used. Will existing Scentsy Bar fragrances be offered in the future? The Scentsy Diffuser is an entirely new way to experience fragrance, so at launch, we wanted to introduce entirely separate fragrances. We may consider extending our Scentsy Oil fragrances to include Scentsy Bar fragrances in the future. Does the character of natural and essential oils fluctuate over time? Yes. Natural and essential oils are subject to character (odor and color) variations caused by environmental factors such as flooding, drought and changing weather cycles. Though we profile our natural and essential oils and have established an acceptable range of variance, minor variances in the character of an essential oil or oil blend may be detectable from time to time. Why isn’t pricing consistent for all Scentsy Oils or within the same category (Essential Oils, Essential Oil Blends and Natural and Essential Oil Blends)? Because our natural and essential oils are derived from 100 percent natural ingredients, they are subject to pricing fluctuations due to weather, ease or difficulty of extraction, availability and plant yields. For example, lavender is easily renewable, produces high yields and can be sourced from different producers or locations. In contrast, sandalwood is substantially more expensive because it takes longer to produce, is only found in certain parts of southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, yields less oil and is more difficult to extract. Despite market fluctuations, we will not adjust prices to reflect market costs during a catalog cycle. Will Scentsy Oils be available in a Combine & Save? No. Fluctuations in market prices of raw ingredients mean we cannot offer Scentsy Oils at a uniform discount. Can I ingest Scentsy Oils or use them topically? No. The FDA does not approve or recommend ingesting or topically applying any essential oil. Though many essential oils are on the FDA Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list and all Scentsy Oils are safe and meet all Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) standards as diffuser oils, Scentsy Oils are not intended for ingestion or direct skin applications.
