3. Premium Grade Essential Oil from Ayten Aromatherapy
What sets Ayten Aromatherapy from other essential oils on the marjet is the research that’s been
put in by Sophie the founder of the exciting new venture. Having tested many di昀昀erent ingredients all over the world. She has realised the sheer di昀케culty of discovering essential oil ingredients
that are not diluted or mere preservatives. These ingredients take away the therapeutic bene昀椀ts
because the extraction process is di昀케cult & drags on for an extended period To counter this problem, Sophie decided to research the birthplace of each particular ingredient & their individual
extraction process to make sure she obtained the most powerful essential oils directly drawn from
the tree/昀氀ower/ plant. To achieve this, all Ayten Aromatherapy essential oils are Steam Distilled
traditionally and hence the reason that they are all sourced internationally. Image : Rajan
