FAQ's
CAN PURE ESSENTIAL OILS BE USED NEAT ON THE SKIN?
Essential oils should not be used neat on the skin, as they are highly concentrated and could potentially cause a negative skin reaction. Essential oils should either be diluted into a blending oil, unfragranced lotion or cream.
WHEN SHOULDN'T ESSENTIAL OILS BE USED?
Consult your healthcare professional before using essential oils during pregnancy. If considered safe, we have further information in the FAQ below.
If you have a skin condition, epilepsy, asthma, blood pressure irregularities or are taking prescribed medication, please seek medical guidance before using essential oils.
CAN I INGEST ESSENTIAL OILS?
Ingesting essential oils for medicinal use or using them in cookery is potentially very hazardous and is not something that we would ever recommend. The human digestive system is used to processing essential oils in minute amounts in herbs and spices, and this is safe practice; however, any essential oil is at least 100 times more concentrated than found in a herb or a spice, which can cause irritation and internal damage to the digestive tract.
This is why we never recommend that essential oils are used in this way. Our range contains quality essential oils which are carefully quality assessed, but the practice of oral use is not recommended.
HOW SHOULD ESSENTIAL OILS BE STORED?
Keep bottles tightly closed, in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight and well out of reach of children.
