Frequently asked
Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil (like jojoba or fractionated coconut) before skin application — a 2–3% dilution is a common starting point. Never ingest essential oils unless directed by a qualified practitioner. Patch-test on a small area of skin before broader use.
Keep in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Tightly close the cap after each use. Essential oils typically stay potent for 2–3 years when stored properly; citrus oils have a shorter shelf life (about 1–2 years).
Consult your healthcare provider before using any essential oil during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Some oils are traditionally avoided during specific trimesters — always check the Safety section above for product-specific notes.
Some essential oils are toxic to cats, dogs, and birds even through diffusion. Cats are especially sensitive. Check the Safety section above for product-specific guidance, and always diffuse in a well-ventilated room with an exit path for pets.
