Why a Patch?

Originally conceived as an alternative to traditional pain rubs, as a means of delivering the aromatherapeutic benefits of essential oils, Natural Patches of Vermont® Essential Oil Body Patches offer numerous advantages over not only these, but also many other traditional and aromatherapeutic products and applications, in the marketplace.

Patch vs. Traditional Pain Rubs

Arguably the most significant advantage to the patch delivery system is that it has allowed introduction of the use of essential oils and aromatherapy, in a user-friendly and approachable format, to an entire segment of the population who may never have experienced them otherwise.

In addition to appealing to those who may never have used or had no previous knowledge of essential oils and/or aromatherapy, the patch delivery system is also attractive to people who, having used either or both in the past, may have been discouraged from continued use for any number of reasons.

Patch vs. Traditional Pain Rubs
– Non-Messy:
Unlike the pain rubs, which inspired their development, by using a proprietary process by which the essential oil blends are encapsulated in an adhesive layer, Natural Patches of Vermont® Essential Oil Body Patches provide the targeted benefits of essential oils without feeling greasy or oily. Leaving no oily residue on the skin, either during use or upon removal, the patches require no clean-up and can be worn day or night, without fear of damaging clothing or bedding.

 

– Discreet:
Natural Patches of Vermont® Essential Oil Body Patches do not possess the over-powering smell exhibited by most pain rubs and balms. So discreet is the aroma, that no one around you will be aware that you are even wearing the patch, unless, of course, you want them to.

 

– Natural:
As the name implies, Natural Patches of Vermont® Essential Oil Body Patches do not employ the use of artificial colors and fragrances and, additionally, do not contain latex or pharmaceuticals of any kind, all characteristics that offer advantages over not only rubs and balms, but other patches in the marketplace, as well.

Materials used in and design features of the patches themselves, which serve as additional layers of protection againstdegradation of the essential oils by environmental causes are; the cloth substrate (light barrier), the release liner (vapor barrier) and encapsulation of the essential oil in the adhesive substrate (vapor barrier).

 

– Cost Savings:
