Precautions for use and proper use of essential oils

*Read before use*

  • Use essential oils with moderation and care. Essential oils are very powerful.
  • Essential oils should not be applied to the eyes, the eye contour or in the ears. In case of contact, apply a neutral vegetable oil and rinse with water. Consult a doctor quickly. Essential oils must be diluted for application to mucous membranes.
  • Always keep essential oils out of reach and out of sight of children. For their safety, never remove the dropper cap from the bottles of essential oils.
  • Some oils can be irritating or particularly sensitizing. The majority of essential oils are used diluted in a vegetable oil on the skin. We recommend that you always carry out a skin tolerance test in the crease of the elbow for at least 48 hours before any use on the skin, either pure or diluted. If you observe a reaction (redness, irritation, tingling, etc.), do not use the mixture.
