Rosewood Essential Oil.......Unfriendly!

It isn't only the rainforest that is being destroyed to make way for palm oil plantations. Many essential oils are also considered as being "unfriendly" to the environment. Natural Bubbles doesn't use Rosewood essential oil because this sweet spicy oil is distilled from a hardwood tree. Over-harvesting of this oil has caused major de-forestation. Unfortunately areas previously logged haven't seen much regrowth so it is now law for distilleries to plant a new tree for every one they cut down, although it will still take many many years to grow to full height.
