Tips

• Essential oils are HIGHLY concentrated — one drop of peppermint oil equals roughly 28 cups of peppermint tea.
• Always buy from reputable suppliers — the market is full of adulterated/synthetic oils.
• Lavender and Tea Tree are among the few oils considered safe for occasional undiluted spot use.

NEVER apply undiluted essential oils to skin (except Lavender/Tea Tree in small amounts). NEVER ingest essential oils without professional guidance. Keep away from eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes. Some oils are toxic to pets (especially cats). NEVER use near the face of infants/toddlers.

Store in dark glass bottles away from heat and light. Most oils last 1-3 years. Citrus oils oxidize faster (6-12 months).
