The main difference lies in formulation and practical safety. The 'ANTISTRESS' infusion is a diluted product specifically designed for dispersion in steam, which helps the aroma blend evenly and persist in the hot air without overpowering the atmosphere. Adding concentrated essential oils directly onto hot sauna stones or into water can lead to localized, intense bursts of scent and uneven distribution, potentially creating a cloying or unbalanced experience.
Furthermore, a pre-diluted cosmetic-grade infusion minimizes the risk of skin irritation that can occur if undiluted oils splash or the vapor is too concentrated when directly inhaled. The formulation considers the high-humidity environment and how heat alters the release of aromatic compounds, aiming for a gradual, steady diffusion. In contrast, a drop of pure essential oil can evaporate rapidly on hot surfaces, potentially releasing too much aroma at once. Using this product is more about achieving a controlled, even scent distribution suitable for a shared or personal relaxation session.
