Frequently Asked Questions | RoxEssential UK Essential Oils


What are essential oils and how do they work?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts obtained through steam distillation or cold pressing. They contain the natural aromatic compounds of plants and are commonly used in aromatherapy to support relaxation, recovery, sleep and overall wellbeing. At RoxEssential, our essential oils are designed for safe home use when used correctly and diluted appropriately.



Are RoxEssential essential oils 100% pure and natural?

Yes. RoxEssential oils are carefully sourced for purity and quality.

We do not add synthetic fragrances, artificial fillers or parabens.

Our blends are created to support wellbeing, muscle recovery, relaxation and daily self-care routines.



How do I use essential oils safely at home?

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should always be diluted with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.

Safe usage guidelines:

  • Dilute before topical application

  • Perform a patch test

  • Avoid contact with eyes

  • Keep out of reach of children

  • Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant or under medical supervision
