Sahu Sacred Oils and essential oils serve different purposes and have distinct methods of production.

Sahu Sacred Oils: These oils are crafted using an ancient alchemical tradition that combines carrier oils with natural plant essences to bring out the full spiritual and therapeutic properties of the plants. This method is rooted in centuries-old Egyptian practices and is designed for spiritual rituals, holistic healing, and enhancing meditation.

Essential Oils: These are pure plant extracts obtained through modern distillation or cold pressing methods. Essential oils are primarily used in aromatherapy and therapeutic applications for their concentrated properties.

In essence, Sahu Sacred Oils integrate a blend of oils to create a sacred, alchemical product, whereas essential oils are single, pure plant extracts focused on physical and emotional well-being.

The reduced price of our 10mL roll-on versions compared to their pure counterparts is primarily due to the difference in concentration of sacred essence oil content. Our roll-on blends incorporate a combination of carrier oils, such as fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, and moringa oil, along with a smaller amount of pure sacred oil. This dilution allows us to offer a more cost-effective option while still providing the benefits of the essential oil. For example, in the case of our Red Rose oil, which is particularly expensive due to its scarcity and labor-intensive extraction process, we offer a 10ml roll-on at a lower price point compared to a 5ml pure sacred oil bottle, as the roll-on contains a higher proportion of carrier oils to essential oil. Rest assured, our roll-on blends maintain the quality and effectiveness of the pure ritual oils while offering a more affordable option for our customers.

Cold-pressed  oils are extracted from botanical materials using a process called cold-pressing, which involves mechanical pressure without the use of heat or chemicals. This gentle extraction method preserves the natural aromatic compounds present in the plant material, resulting in oils that retain a fresher and more subtle aroma. While some may perceive this aroma as less intense compared to oils produced using synthetic chemicals or heat/steam distillation methods, it's essential to understand that the strength of an essential oil isn't solely determined by its scent intensity.

Sahu oils are versatile and can be used both aromatically and topically. They are safe for direct application to the skin when properly diluted with a carrier oil. However, we always recommend performing a patch test before using any oil on larger areas of the skin to ensure compatibility and prevent allergic reactions.
