IMPORTANT SIDE NOTES TO CONSIDER:

Using essential oils requires caution and proper understanding to ensure safety and effectiveness. Here are some key precautions to take when using essential oils:

 

Dilution:

Essential oils are highly concentrated, and direct application to the skin may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil (such as coconut, jojoba, or almond oil) before applying them to the skin.

***NOTE: All of Essential Essential Oil blends are combined with coconut carrier oil and do not require any further dilution before applying to skin.***

 

Patch Test:

Before using a new essential oil, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions. This is especially important for individuals with sensitive skin.

​

Pregnancy and Children:

Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children may be more sensitive to certain essential oils. Consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils in these populations.

​

Quality Matters:

Use high-quality, pure essential oils from reputable sources. Poor-quality oils may contain impurities or synthetic additives that can be harmful.

***NOTE: All of Essential Essential Oil blends are 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade, unrefined oils that are blended with Organic Coconut oil and with some blends, combined with additional carrier oils.***

 

Photosensitivity:

Some essential oils, particularly citrus oils, can cause skin sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid sun exposure after applying these oils to the skin. Ex: Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Mandarine, Vanilla, Cumin

 

Ingestion Caution:

Some essential oils are toxic when ingested, and it's generally safer to use them topically or aromatically. If considering ingestion for therapeutic purposes, consult with a qualified healthcare professional.

 

Allergies:

Be mindful of any known allergies to specific plants or botanicals. Cross-reactions can occur, and individuals with allergies should exercise caution with essential oils derived from related plants.

​

Medical Conditions:

Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as asthma, epilepsy, or other respiratory conditions, should consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils.

​

Storage:

Store essential oils in glass bottles in a dark place and keep away from heat and sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain the potency and quality of the oils. If your bottle of uil solidifies, just run under warm/hot tap water until it dilutes. This does not have any negative effects on your oil blend or its effectiveness.
