Attendees will learn the importance of essential oils' affect on our mind and body. As well as contributing fragrance and feel-good, essential oils can have wonderful effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibiofilm and anti-aging. In this seminar, we will learn how, and to what extent, essential oils are absorbed by the skin; how to effectively use them to address skin problems including acne, fungal infections, psoriasis, rosacea and sun damage, and how to make up simple preparations with safe yet effective ingredients.

Avoiding adverse effects is of course important, and is covered in detail. In addition to many essential oils, we will examine the benefits of certain absolutes, CO2 extracts and aromatic fatty oils, such as argan, calendula, pomegranate and tamanu.

We will smell some of the less common oils, absolutes and CO2 extracts discussed, and some of Robert’s recommended finished blends.

Subject areas covered include:

• How and why plants make essential oils
• Understanding essential oil chemistry
• Essential oil chemistry in relation to soap
• Doses, mixing and measuring
• Essential oil quality & integrity
• Microbial balance & protection
• Sun damage & photoageing
• Redness, itching and other sensitivity issues
• Oilyness & dryness
• Allergy & photosensitization – how to avoid them!
• Safe dilutions for specific oils
• Psychodermatology
• Wound healing

This seminar is a lecture/slide presentation with discussion. The emphasis is on what the research shows, especially clinical data, often with photographic evidence. Extensive handouts are provided.
