Guidelines for Safety
Due to the potency of essential oils, be sure to follow these important safety guidelines when using them:
​
-
Always read the label for appropriate use before using each oil.
-
Dilute, if needed (use fatty oils like olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, etc.) as some oils can cause cooling or warming sensation to skin.
-
Stop using if discomfort or irritation occurs. Do NOT rinse with water but rather apply carrier oil to affected area.
-
Start slow with 2-3 drops aromatically and 1-2 drops topically, using more as desired.
-
Avoid eyes and ears.
-
Citrus oils safety: Follow label instructions and avoid direct sunlight for 12-48 hours.
