Essential oils, Infused Oils, Hydrosols, and Absolutes differ in both qualities and method by which they are made.

An essential oil is extracted directly from the plant and has nothing added.

For an infused oil the plant material is placed in a container of vegetable oil and the oil absorbs the qualities from the plant. A hydrosol is the water collected when plants are distilled to make essential oil.

An absolute is the term used to describe the material obtained from the plant by solvent extraction.
