Buy high quality sauna oil
Infusions with high-quality sauna oils make the wellness experience in the sauna something very special. However, the oils sometimes differ significantly in quality. Here you will find all the important criteria you can look out for when buying sauna fragrance. The quality of aroma oils for infusion in the sauna depends on the ingredients and fragrance mixtures used. Natural ingredients in organic quality are obtained in a wide variety of processes.
These criteria distinguish high-quality supplements
- 100% plant-based ingredients
- High concentration of aromas
- Very productive
- No unnecessary additives
- No artificial fragrances
The right scent
For you to perceive a sauna infusion as pleasant, the right scent is crucial. The most popular classics among the fragrances include oils that smell like mint, lavender or rosemary. Lemongrass, spruce, orange and many other varieties also expand the range of sauna fragrances. Depending on the mood and desired effect, certain types of oil are recommended.
A glass bottle is also preferable from a health point of view, as the combination of plastic and oil can produce toxic substances. After all, sauna oil evaporates at high heat and penetrates the respiratory tract, which is why oil in a glass bottle is always the best choice.
The right fragrance
For the sauna infusion to be perceived as pleasant, the right fragrance is essential. The most popular classic fragrances include oils smelling of mint, lavender or rosemary. Lemongrass, spruce, orange and many other varieties also expand the range of sauna fragrances. Depending on the mood and the desired effect, certain types of oil are recommended.
Temperature
There are Finnish saunas with very high temperatures of up to 90 degrees Celsius, but also saunas with significantly lower temperatures, for example the bio sauna. Depending on the temperature, the fragrance experience can vary. Try out which mixing ratio is ideal for your desired temperature. The higher the temperature, the more intense the fragrance and the less you need to add to the infusion water.
Humidity
How high the humidity is in the sauna also depends on the type of sauna. The drier the sauna, the slower the fragrance molecules spread in the air after an infusion. You can easily see how high the humidity is in the sauna right now on a hygrometer. The value in a Finnish sauna is much lower than in a steam sauna, for example. A sauna infusion increases the humidity and thus also the intensity of the fragrance.
Did you know?
A high-quality sauna oil smells best in combination with warm water, so cold water is unsuitable for the infusion.

Concentration and dosage
A high-quality sauna oil also differs from the cheap variants in its concentration. In this case, just a few drops are enough to create the optimal mixing ratio of water and oil for infusion in the sauna. Good sauna oils always achieve the same fragrance effect, regardless of how long they are open. The situation is different with oils of inferior quality. In this case, many more drops are needed to produce the same intensity of fragrance and the smell dissipates more quickly. If you save in the wrong place, you are not doing yourself any favours, especially since the smell of lower quality oils can change after some time. It is easy to tell if it is a high-quality or highly concentrated oil by the mixing ratio indicated on the packaging.
