Essential Oil Safety

• Use essential oils with extreme caution, not intense for internal use, straight essential oils break down plastic making the item unusable or unsafe. Never use therapeutic quality Essential Oils as a substitute for necessary medical care. Keep oils tightly closed and out of reach of children. Never ingest undiluted essential oils. Don't use undiluted oils on your skin. Dilute oils with vegetable oils, one to three drops per tablespoon. Keep oils away from eyes and mucous membranes. Skin test oils before using. Dilute a small amount and apply to the skin of your inner arm or back of knee. Do not use if redness or irritation occurs. If redness, burning, itching or irritation occur, stop using oil immediately. Use less rather than more.

• The use of essential oils are safer than fragrance oils or perfumes. The essential oils are purely the source of the plant, shrub, fruit or vegetable. Fragrance oils and perfume are doctored up with chemicals and alcohols to smell like essential oils. It has been reported fragrance effects the immune system, causing toxicity. And, labs report moderate evidence of fragrance causing human neurotoxicity. We use two main oils for our baby line Chamomile (roman) and Lavender
