SAFETY GUIDELINES
Essential oils are very highly concentrated and potent. Keep out of reach of children, elderly persons, and pets. Always dilute essential oils prior to topical use. Please see recommended dilution chart below. For external use only. Do not take essential oils internally unless under medical supervision of a trained clinical aromatherapist or other qualified medical health professional. Avoid contact with eyes and mucus membranes. If essential oil has contacted your eye, wash out with vegetable oil such as olive oil, not water.
Some oils may cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin. it is recommended to perform a patch test before use. Apply a small amount of diluted oil to your inner arm and leave for an hour or so. If irritation or redness occurs wash the area with vegetable oil then wash with soapy water and discontinue use.
Some essential oils are photosensitive and may cause pigmentation of the skin when applied before exposure to sun or UV light (in severe cases 2nd degree burns). It is best to avoid exposure or to cover the area of application of the following oils prior to sun or UV light exposure: angelica root, bergamot, bitter orange (cold pressed), cumin, grapefruit (cold pressed), lime (cold pressed), lemon (cold pressed), mandarine leaf, opopanax, rue and tagetes.

If you are ever unsure about using essential oil(s), especially during pregnancy or with children, please consult a qualified aromatherapist prior to use.
