    Same reasons there are other similar terms like “spices”. They don’t want to give away their recipes.

  The term “essential oils” is both a valid description and a marketing gimmick.

  You have heard of “vanilla essence” and “orange essence”. It is basically an oil that is derived from a foodstuff to extract the essence or flavour.

  Marketers love the phrase because the ignorant plebeians interpret to mean that they are required (essential) for human survival.
