Absolutes are highly concentrated extracts derived from plants and flowers, known for their intense richness in both plant constituents and fragrance. Unlike essential oils, which are produced through steam distillation, absolutes are obtained using a solvent extraction method. This process captures the most delicate and aromatic compounds, making absolutes exceptionally potent. While they are more expensive than essential oils, their high concentration means that only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired effect. Absolutes are prised in skincare formulations for their luxurious scent and powerful botanical benefits, adding a touch of opulence and efficacy to any beauty routine.
