Oils

Saints and Circles™ fragrance oils are cosmetic grade fragrance oils designed for use directly on the body as a skin-safe perfume oil. This oil contains FD&C Coloring. This enhances the appearance without affecting the scent or quality. These oils may also be used on light rings or in aroma lamps or simmering pots. They are 100% oil with NO alcohol, water, surfactants or other cheap diluents.

Saints and Circles™ Circle Blends oils are formulated specifically for magickal intention by initiated priests and priestesses. Some are original blends that have been developed through their own magickal work; others are traditional formulas that have been passed down and have withstood the test of time. All are quality cosmetic grade fragrance oils designed for use directly on the body, but are equally useful for anointing candles or other ritual tools. In accordance with applicable laws, these are sold as novelties only and no magickal results are guaranteed.

An essential oil is the volatile material derived by distillation or expression from plant material of a single botanical form and species. Some technically argue that essential oils are only those materials obtained exclusively through steam distillation. Essential oils are powerful natural substances. Please use them with caution and only after adequate research.

An absolute is an alcoholic extraction of a concrete or other hydrocarbon to remove waxes and most odorless materials, producing an alcohol soluble or semi-liquid oil. Absolutes are highly concentrated. Waxes, terpenes, sesquiterpenes and most other odorless matters are eliminated from the concretes during the preparation of the absolutes. Commonly used solvents are alcohol and hexane, among others.

Fixed oils are non-volatile oils derived from plant materials, commonly referred to as vegetable oils.
