      Because of what I have to admit is brilliant marketing. The ‘essential’ in essential oils just means ‘essence of,’ which is a perfectly valid, if dated, use of that word. However, because the modern connotation of ‘essential’ is ‘necessary,’ people convinced themselves that they need it. It’s obviously misleading, but not in a way that’s actually illegal. It’s both genius and fucking terrible.
