- Hi Science Babes! Today's video is episode 1 of a series I am doing on essential oils. Today's episode I cover the building blocks that make up the chemical compounds present in essential oils. Did you know each essential oil contains anywhere between 20-200 chemical compounds? Watch this episode to learn more about the classes of chemical compounds and some examples.

Love seeing that TH-cam award in the background! You deserve it!! Thank you for what you do. 💙
It’s like I’m back in Organic Chemistry. Good refresher 👌🏻
God, I hated doing resonance structures, specially aromatic rings with nitro groups
sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Frank Aldo instablaster =)
@Davian Brayan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Davian Brayan it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
I’m in organic chemistry right now, and I’m like omg I get it!! 😂
This is like a college class I actually look forward to every single day! 😂 Also I love that you're always switching up where you film
I will have to watch this a few more times, to get a solid grasp of the chemical compounds involved. This is exactly the information I was hoping for! There is so much to learn! Thank you for guiding and teaching us!
I just finished my organic chem course over the summer (now I’m onto physiology bc I’m studying Physical Therapy) but I LOVED organic chem. It’s so useful for literally everything having to do with your body. Be that what you’re eating, putting on your skin, or even how your body works! Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand any type of ingredient list 😊❤️
Hardly understood any of this but I’m SO here for this series! Can’t wait for the next video! 😻
This would be the time where the lead character ask sarcastically “and in English?” In movies
watching this to procrastinate on studying for physical chemistry. God i miss organic. Ty Kenna for the best content on the internet rn
you really turn someone with interest what so ever in chemistry - biology etc into someone that actually love that and legitimately interest me a lot, thanks
i love diffusing essential oil blends in my house as a alternate to burning candles. i always worry about my animals though and how it effects them. they’ve never acted different and never have noticed any symptoms but think a video on essential oil safety around pets would be welcomed :)
I really really want this, too. I haven't seen anyone do an in depth video about it.
As u know how essential oil mix with water
Essential oils are deadly to pets. Be careful. There's only a few that are "safe" at best.
Young Living has left the chat...🤣
Hahaha!!
This is crazy because I’ve been going through so many essential oil shops out of interest in this past month but never had the chance to buy anything because i didnt know enough about them. Thanks!! ❤️
I would love to see you make a video about Curology! They have you take a quiz about what’s your skin like on their website and then formulate the products for you based on that test. I believe the products then have an ingredient list with the exact percentages on it
Very interesting, I understood roughly 70% of this video ....it’s definitely a LOT to take in and I must say your little brain is a VERY smart one 🧠 thank you Kenna great video #sciencebabes at its best. 💕🌺💕
Didn't know what was going on most of the time but excited for the little bit I picked up and ready for the series!
Love this!!! Thank you. I'm a beauty therapist and use these for body massage. I absolutely love your educational videos! Thanks girl ❤️
Congrats on the subscriber milestone! Well-deserved!!!
Thank you for making the chemistry of essential oils digestible! Also so cool to see somebody discussing essential oils on TH-cam from a scientific approach. Most of the videos I've seen on TH-cam are from MLM marketers or people who try to "debunk" essential oils and their therapeutic benefits, most likely due to the MLM marketers.
Yes, so excited for this!!!! Thank you, Kenna!
I really enjoy what you're trying to do here. I think the best way to bring this knowledge to the main stream audience would be to give examples of each as you say them so what layman termed essential oil would be considered alkenes for example. But again I really enjoy hearing the science behind it but find it hard to implement it into my basic knowledge of essential oils
I just thought about what the science is behind them! So crazy. Love your channel💕
Remembering how I changed my whole major when I took an ochem class.... lol but I love this I love Kenna making this relatable and accessible!!
Looking forward to this series! Thanks! Congrats on the award!
me learning pharmacognosy and phytochemistry found this really helpful, I legit forgot everything i learned last semester LOL thanks kenna for helping me remember!
Love the new background and set up. This video is very timely for me because I just ordered an essential oil starter kit(aromatherapy) More power to you Kenna. 🥰
Yess thank you! This kind of content was missing from the beauty community on youtube.
Hey Kenna! Love your channel.
I’ve really enjoyed your content it’s helped me a lot. I was wondering if you could do a video on the “right way” or healthy ways to exfoliate the skin without tearing or damaging it!
Keep up the amazing content it’s greatly appreciated.
Have a great day! X
So excited for this series!!
Loved this video! I used to be a medical student and I wish I had a teacher like you... :)) Keep up the good work! And thank you so much for the amazing content!
This is so interesting! I need to get more into chemistry! Also I love how fast your channel is growing 🥰
Thank you! Perfect to help put chemistry together with aromatherapy. Thank you. Thank you.
Wow!! You jogged my memory back to college days....Organic chemistry classes....gr8
I'm in ochem currently so I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for all of the information!
Me encanta tu canal! Está genial y es super único, eres muy inteligente
Youngliving will deny essential oils being chemical
Well then they don't understand science. 😐 everything is a chemical.
Literally everything is a chemical
Also, look into the founders of young living. Specifically related to infanticide. 😐
The founder of young living makes me feel icky just reading about him. So many issues with them and people prominent within the company...
Well, yeah, Gary Young, the founder, killed his kid an faked paralysis so...
Great video! :)
I love supporting you because I believe you're a Guelph Alumni and I think that is awesome!
Keep up the amazing work!
Hi Kenna!! Thank you for taking the time to educate us 💓 if possible can you please do a video about Cbd.. cannabis strains and terpenes found it the different strains please
Got so excited when I saw this haha new upload!
So interesting although I am not well versed in science so I don’t understand everything. I’m so happy you’re making this series, I got interested in finding out what’s the deal with EO recently after a family member got into it and was told to put some EO in her water and ingest in vegetable capsules by her DoTerra salesperson (wellness consultant is not a term I like, haha). I’m one to think this is absolutely not safe and she was adamant that Health Canada had approved them for oral use. I sent her a link to Health Canada showing her that’s not the case at all, but she still does it anyway because DoTerra tells her it’s safe and the EO are natural. 🤦♀️ All that to say I hope the topic of ingestion will be part of your series
Wow... I am an accountant but have always been interested in essential oils and (obviously) want to understand what they are made up of and how it all works. I think my mind is a bit broken at the moment but thank you! I will keep at it!
YAAAASSSS thank you for this!! Watching now ❤️
I’m allergic to essential oils so am interested in learning more. I appreciate that you explain things well for the lay person. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Please don't take this as dickish(don't mean it as), is that all essential oils or specific types? Genuinely interested ❤️
Mamma Skyhigh As far as I know, all of them. I’m allergic to fragrance, and essential oils are fragrance, from what I understand.
love the series already
Took notes threw the entire video. Thank you for the information!
I can't wait for the next part!
Good vid! I'd find it interesting to hear more about the application of some of these.. compounds(?)
For sure would be interested to hear more about their misapplication in skincare.. I know you've talked about it generally.. Perhaps an exact products breakdown?
Oooo excited for this video! Thanks!
Oooooh! I really appreciate you!!! Excellent video!
I would LOVE it if you were to maybe do a video on drugstore price skin care with good actives and/or a video on cruelty free skin care. Your product line looks amazing but unfortunately I just don't have much room in my budget for skin care. I had been using the cerave hydrating cleanser and the cerave PM moisturizer (which had ceramides, niaminacide and hyleronic acid) along with a hyleronic acid serum and a salicylic acid serum from the ordinary but I've had to give up the cerave because I've gone cruelty free. The closest I've found to the feel of my old products is the Yes to Cucumbers gentle milk cleanser and soothing daily calming moisturizer but I don't think they have as good of actives. I'm looking for a new hyleronic acid serum now too since I watched your video on the ingredient because the Ordinary's website says theirs has short, medium and long chain molecules.
Ugh it's hard to have good, cruelty free skin care on a budget!
Such an amazing video. Thank you!!
I remember some of this from chemistry, and it was nice to hear about these amazing compounds again. Whenever I think of these, I end up thinking about the plant before it’s harvested. I’m sure once that happens, more reactions start cascading, because it’s going to start breaking down. Then I start to think about our environment, and what the weather was like on harvest day, and would it be possible to ever get oxygen off hydrogen out of the way?
New subscriber here babes! Loving your content! Bring on the knowledge I say!!
Your videos are so informational!! Thank you for sharing your brain
This went way over my head... that's why y'all kids are the future 😁
Emme Aarre It went straight over my head too! Now I know why I work in IT !!
Thanks for giving us a background for essential oils. They certainly are complex!
Took me right back to uni days! Loved organic chem
We never knew if we had it all wrong or all right 😂
It's 4 am but i'm watching it anyways cause it's just so interesting❤
would love to know about double cleansing and witch oils are best to use or if your only supposed to use oil cleanser?? am confused
Very well put together video Congratulations on a job well done.
*perks up in Anti-MLM*
(But seriously, this is interesting for anyone who constantly gets MLM huns trying to shill essential oils unhealthily, like sticking it anywhere it isn't wanted or necessary. Like Oregano oil in food. 🤢 )
@@Melissa.Camilleri oh my god what the hell. Oily Huns are some of the worst.
I love your content! Your so awesome !
Love your content!! Keep it up😃
Thanks for the effort ❤️ great video
As a chemistry major, this was very interesting to watch! But I doubt people who don’t have a chemistry background would have had an easy time keeping up! I know I had to rewind a few times!!
We stan a science queen
Perfect last second review of the o chem portion of my gen chem midterm 🙃
Thanks for valuable information for EO. It would be great if you could explain for aroma chemicals for flavours. Good luck.
I am allergic to Balsam of Peru( which is never listed) and Cinnamic Alcohol. This video is helpful to me.
Im from biotechnology background and i have performed antimicrobial activity of essential oils.
Just found your channel and you're amazing! I have a question. Do the mediums in which an essential oil is contained prevent/delay break down? For example if an essential oil is in a carrier oil would this delay the breakdown? Thank you for your hard work 💓 subscribed.
Awesome!
great video
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons vs aromatic rings in essential oils... Are they the same thing? I've heard synthetic fragrances can be carcinogenic but what about natural fragrance?
Can you do a thorough and comprehensive review of the Earth to skin lines?
Curious if essential oils could strengthen UV filters. Or any synergistic effects that they have with other skincare ingredients or if turpenes interact with each other (as I've heard is the case with marijuana). Cool vid!
would love to know your opinion on Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay mask!!!
Can you review Michelle phans skin care routine. (On Harper bazzar)
I see a lot of this names in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, leave ins. I thought these were fragrance in products, am I correct? And this elements in product formulation really come from EO or they can be synthetic?? Hi from Brazil! Love your content!😉 I am now heading to the second video of the series, I am really interested im EO and their benefits. Already got tea tree, peppermint and bergamota.
Will all essential oils have benzene in them?when I searched, I got very different compounds each time.. Your series are very helpful..❤
taking organic chemistry so it’s a great video to recall :)
You should do a video on curology!
I have alot more to go... lol I'm only in Chem class barely learning how compounds form! 😂
Peep the plaque in the background! 🤩
are hydrosols good for the skin?? (sorry if i feel mispelled that)
suddenly very grateful for organic chemistry
So what nomenclature system would these fall under? These dont seem to fall under the iupac rules for naming so I'm just curious thanks!
What helps my brows grow .?
do you have access to lab equipment like mass spectrometer, this is a great video
I love this!
This is like one step above my class now. Which is the first chem course in college i have.
The backbones. Yeah don't get it. The rest. Yeah i know this shit!
Best wishes from Lahore Pakistan ❤❤
Well explained
Play button!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Korean skincare video? Their face masks and moisturizers are always the best, what ingredients do they use that other brands don't?
I would like to know more about perfume.
Nice work, but I want you to make a video or write up on the roles of essential oils in pharmaceutical and healthcare delivery. I want to reach out to you.
