Amphora Aromatics offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of pure essential oils and aromatherapy skincare products in the UK. Founded in 1984, our experience means we are the natural choice for all things aromatherapy.
Precious & Absolute Oils
Pure absolute and precious oils including high grade perfumery materials.
Absolutes are made by extracting the plant material with organic solvents which are then distilled off to leave a thick paste known as a concrete.
The waxes that make the concrete so viscous are then removed, leaving the absolute. Rose otto is steam-distilled and is therefore technically an essential oil.
Our great range of diluted absolutes (in 5% Grapeseed oil) are
perfect for those who wish to use the beautiful aromas of absolutes but do not want to spend a lot of money.
These lovely absolute oils have been diluted to 5% in Grapeseed to make them affordable for anyone wishing to experience the wonderful benefits of these exquisite oils.
They can be used straight out of the bottle for massage or can be blended with other oils.
