Precautions

Essential Oils of quality can be used safely and without risk by aware users.
As Essential Oils are active products; certain precautions should be observed when using them. Below, we have outlined a few basic rules :

  • Do not use a product of dubious quality.
  • Do not use a product with a contraindication that applies to you.
  • Do not give Essential Oils to children under 10 without first consulting a specialist. The administration of Essential Oils to young children requires special competency and adapted galenical forms.
  • Act with precaution if you are prone to allergies, particularly during applications to the skin. Test the Essential Oil on a small area of the skin first.
  • Some Essential Oils can cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. Use parsimoniously.
  • Keep Essential Oils out of reach of children.
  • Always have a vegetable oil (olive, sweet almond…) to hand when you use Essential Oils. Only a greasy substance can dissolve an Essential Oil.
  • An Essential Oil must never come into contact with the eyes. If this happens, rinse the eye immediately and abundantly with a vegetable oil (olive, sweet almond, sunflower…). If necessary, consult a specialist.
  • Essential Oils must not be ingested pure. It is advisable to dilute them with an appropriate excipient such as Sanodisp.
  • If in doubt, seek advice before using an Essential Oil.
