Les huiles essentielles

Let’s dive into the world of essential oils. At MAKESENZ, we deeply admire these aromatic plants and everything they offer. Their power, their scents, the benefits they bring to health, skin, and emotions… everything about them is fascinating.

Essential oils at the heart of our cosmetics
As you know, at Makesenz we work in respect and harmony with nature and the richness of its natural raw materials. Among them, essential oils hold a unique place.
But what exactly is an essential oil, and why do we integrate them into our cosmetic formulas?

An essential oil is the most precious extract of an aromatic plant. It is obtained by steam distillation or cold pressing for citrus fruits, and it concentrates the very essence of the plant: its fragrance, active molecules, and benefits.
For Makesenz, it feels natural to give essential oils a central place in our skincare. They blend harmoniously with our vegetable oils, butters, and hydrosols to create coherent, balanced, and complete formulas.

Using an essential oil means inviting the full strength of a plant into a treatment, concentrated in just a few drops. It is a living, vibrant raw material that provides not only targeted benefits for the skin (purifying, soothing, regenerating…) but also an olfactory richness that transforms a skincare gesture into a true sensory experience.

That is what makes essential oils so fascinating in cosmetics. Their fragrance acts on our limbic system, the seat of emotions and memory. They can calm, comfort, stimulate, or awaken joy. Each oil resonates differently with each person.

A few oils and synergies to illustrate
To illustrate this union of cosmetic and emotional benefits, let’s talk about two essential oils we particularly love: lavender and sweet orange.

The team’s favorite—the one whose scent brings us comfort—is true lavender. It soothes the nervous system and promotes relaxation. On the cosmetic side, it calms redness and itching, supports sensitive skin, and helps treat skin issues such as eczema and acne thanks to its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. You’ll find it in our Lavender & Geranium superfatted soap bar | MAKESENZ, Shea & Lavender Comfort Balm | MAKESENZ, Cleansing Balm - 120ml | MAKESENZ, Jojoba zuiverende gezichtscrème - Gecombineerde tot vette huid | MAKESENZ, and our "Relax" essential oils synergy for a soothing action - 10ml | MAKESENZ and Essential oils blend "Apaisante" for sensitive skin | MAKESENZ.

Sweet orange, with its fresh and fruity fragrance, uplifts the mood, stimulates the immune system, and brings a sense of freshness. For the skin, its purifying and regenerative properties restore radiance and fight imperfections. You’ll find it in our Orange Blossom Make-Up Remover Oil | MAKESENZ and in our Fairy Balm with 5 essential oils – 15ml | MAKESENZ, offering an emotional boost.

In our formulas, we often use essential oils in synergy to enhance their effectiveness. For example, our Essential oils blend "Revitalisante" for mature skin - 5ml | MAKESENZ combines ho wood, rockrose, and immortelle. Ho wood brings calm and balance, helping to ease tension while revitalizing and purifying the skin. Rockrose supports skin regeneration and provides comfort during stress or emotional fatigue. Immortelle, famous for its anti-aging and healing properties, brings a sense of peace and helps ease everyday emotional shocks. Together, these three oils create a harmonious synergy that tones and firms the skin, offering an excellent anti-aging treatment while wrapping the mind in a cocoon of calm and comfort.

After this small journey into the world of essential oils, you’ll understand why we love them so much. Beyond the benefits they provide for the skin, they are true everyday allies. They support skin balance, awaken the senses, and resonate deeply within us. Their power and delicacy embody all the beauty of nature and naturally find their place in Makesenz cosmetics.
