Safety information Essential oils should always be diluted before use, as they can cause skin irritation or sensitization. Keep essential oils out of reach of children and pets, as some are toxic if ingested. Essential oils should not be used internally except under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Avoid using essential oils near the eyes, ears, or mucous membranes, as they can cause irritation. Do not use essential oils on pregnant or nursing women, infants, or people with certain medical conditions unless under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Always store essential oils in a cool, dark place and away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Direction For aromatherapy, add a few drops to the diffuser or inhale directly from the bottle. For topical use, apply to desired areas of skin.
