Safety information for essential oils

General safety information

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and must always be used diluted. Do not apply undiluted to the skin.

Keep out of reach of children

Store all essential oils safely and keep them out of reach of children and pets. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult a doctor or qualified practitioner before using essential oils. Some oils are contraindicated during this time.

Storage

Store cool, dark and dry – ideally at 10–20°C. Use light-protected bottles. Once opened, use within 12–24 months.

Skin tolerance

If you have sensitive skin, carry out a patch test before use: apply a few drops of diluted oil to the inside of the wrist and observe for 24 hours.
