Essential Oil Safety & Usage
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences, which is why they must always be used with care and proper dilution.
These guidelines share basic information to help you use essential oils thoughtfully.
- They are not meant to be a complete safety guide
- They are not a substitute for professional advice
- Personal questions are always best discussed with a qualified health professional.
General Use
Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil or product base before applying to the skin.
Proper dilution helps ensure that essential oils contribute their natural aroma and character without overwhelming the skin.
A little goes a long way — more is not better. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Pregnancy, Nursing, and Children
The available information on essential oil safety during pregnancy, nursing, and childhood is often inconsistent and contradictory. Because of this, we do not provide specific recommendations.
If you are pregnant, nursing, or considering essential oils for use with children, please consult your doctor, midwife, pediatrician, or another qualified health professional before use.
Medical Conditions & Medications
If you have a medical condition, take prescription medications, or have concerns about how essential oils may affect you or your family, please speak with a qualified, licensed health professional before use.
Sensitive Skin & Individual Response
Every person’s skin is different.
If you have sensitive skin, are prone to reactions, or are trying a product for the first time, we recommend doing a patch test on a small area of skin before using any new product.
General Precautions
- For external use only
- Keep essential oils away from eyes and mucous membranes.
- Do not apply to broken or irritated skin
- Keep all essential oils out of reach of children and pets.
Storage
When buying individual essential oils or blends, store them tightly closed, away from heat, light, and moisture to maintain their quality and potency.
Our Approach
We believe essential oils should be used with care, respect, and intention.
They are included in our products not only for their aroma, but for the way they contribute to the overall experience—always in amounts that support safe, thoughtful use on the skin.
