Essential oils, which are obtained through mechanical pressing or distillation, are concentrated plant extracts that retain the natural smell and flavor of their source. Each essential oil has a unique composition of chemicals, and this variation affects the smell, absorption, and effects on the body. The chemical composition of an essential oil may vary within the same plant species, or from plant to plant.

According to Coherent Market Insights the Essential Oil Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028

Essential oils are plant extracts of volatile aromatic oils derived from flowers, seeds, stems, bark, leaves, and roots. These oils are valuable because they capture the flavour and scent of the plant from which they are extracted. Essential oils, also known as ethereal oils, volatile oils, or aetherolea, are extracted using a variety of methods, including distillation. These oils are utilised as aromatic and flavouring agents because they contain terpenes, phenols, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lactones, coumarins, esters, and ethers.

The therapeutic effects of essential oils are determined by the plant from which they are extracted. Citronella oil, for example, is antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory, whilst lemon oil is antiviral, disinfectant, bactericidal, hemostatic, astringent, febrifuge, and antiseptic. Essential oils are in high demand due to their medicinal and fragrant characteristics. The growing demand for natural products is driving up demand for essential oils in the food and beverage, cosmetics, personal care, and healthcare industries.
