Essential oils in ancient beauty rituals date back centuries. However, they continue to become increasingly popular as people seek out safe, non-toxic and natural skincare options. The popularity of these powerful healers stems from their ability to calm irritated skin, reduce signs of aging, improve acneic or scarred skin, and promote hydration for a clear and radiant complexion.

Radiation energy emitted from the sun is a form of ultraviolet rays (UV). There are two types of rays that reach earth, UVA and UVB.
UVA rays (the dominant tanning ray) have a longer wavelength and can penetrate two layers beneath the skin into the dermis. UVA have long been known to play a major part in skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging). Recent studies, however, show that UVA damages skin cells in the basal layer of the epidermis, where most skin cancers occur.
UVB, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, tends to damage the skin's more superficial epidermal layers. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and a contributory role in tanning and photoaging.
