6 best essential oils brands based in Hong Kong

By Ching Yuen 27 September 2019
Unless you’ve been living under a rock—actually, you’d probably be familiar with essential oils if you lived under a rock out in nature. As such, essential oils don’t need much of an introduction, so we’ll keep it short: they are concentrated liquids extracted from plants, with almost mystic properties that range from healing, invigorating, destressing, and more. Frequently used in massages and aromatherapy, it is also common to incorporate the use of oils into beauty routines. We decided to narrow our focus on products made in Hong Kong and compile a list of places that make and sell their own essential oils in town. We think we may have developed an addiction for essential oils... is there an oil for that?

2. Einnoc

Why use synthetic chemicals when mother nature has given us abundant natural remedies? Einnoc uses all-natural, unrefined ingredients with essential oils that are either distiller-certified organic, wildcrafted, or organically grown. Keeping the environment in mind, they use glass and paper containers to produce the least amount of plastic waste. They also believe that in using quality natural plant-based and chemical-free materials in basic essentials, there is no need for multiple body care products for different body parts and uses. If it is good quality, it should be multi-functional—all the more reason for us to declutter our homes and body of chemicals, as well as limit unwanted waste.
