The Truth About Fragrance Oils vs. Essential Oils: Why Purity Matters at Luna & Grace
If you're like me—or anyone in my family—just walking past a perfume counter or catching a whiff of a heavily fragranced product can feel like stepping into a chemical cloud. Within seconds, the headaches start pounding, noses clog up, and sneezing or coughing kicks in like clockwork. It's not just sensitivity; it's our bodies sounding the alarm. Synthetic fragrances are loaded with compounds that overwhelm the senses and irritate the respiratory system. They're designed to linger, but for many of us, they linger in all the wrong ways. That reaction? It's your body saying, “No thanks.”
In the world of wellness and skincare, not all oils are created equal. While many products boast alluring scents and seductive packaging, the truth behind those fragrances can be far less beautiful. At Luna & Grace, we believe in transparency, integrity, and the healing power of nature—which is why we never use synthetic fragrance oils in any of our creations.
Fragrance oils are chemically engineered to mimic natural scents. They’re cheaper, longer-lasting, and widely used in commercial skincare, candles, and bath products. But here’s the catch:
Synthetic compounds in fragrance oils often include phthalates, parabens, and other endocrine disruptors.
They can trigger skin irritation, allergic reactions, and respiratory issues—especially for sensitive individuals.
Unlike essential oils, they offer no therapeutic benefit. They smell nice, but they don’t heal.
In short, fragrance oils are designed for profit, not for people.
Why We Choose Essential Oils
Essential oils are nature’s gift—pure plant extracts that carry the soul of the botanical. They’re rich in therapeutic properties, from calming lavender to energizing peppermint, and they work in harmony with the body.
At Luna & Grace, every product is handcrafted using only 100% pure essential oils, ethically sourced and blended with intention. Our formulas are designed not just to smell divine, but to support emotional balance, skin health, and energetic alignment.

We don’t just talk the talk—we live it. Here’s how our signature ranges embody this commitment:

Why It Matters
Choosing essential oils over fragrance oils isn’t just a preference—it’s a philosophy. It’s about honoring the body, respecting the earth, and creating products that truly nurture. At Luna & Grace, we believe that wellness should be honest, holistic, and heart-led. That’s why we’ll never compromise on purity.
So next time you reach for a product, ask yourself: is it just scented, or is it sacred?
