Strawberry Essential Oil

Strawberry Essential Oil typically delivers a sweet, luscious, fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe strawberries and is used primarily for fragrance and sensory purposes in DIY cosmetics, aromatherapy, and home scent products.
Important: Due to the chemical composition of strawberry fruit (very low volatile oil content), most products labeled as strawberry essential oil are actually fragrance oils or flavor-aromatic blends — not true plant-derived essential oils obtained by steam distillation.
