Essential Oils FAQ
1. What are essential oils?
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural fragrance and beneficial properties of plants. They are commonly used in aromatherapy, personal care, and household products.
2. How do I use essential oils in a diffuser?
To use essential oils in a diffuser, simply add water to the diffuser's reservoir, then add a few drops of your chosen essential oil. Turn on the diffuser, and enjoy the therapeutic aroma as it disperses into the air.
3. Can I use essential oils in a spray bottle?
Yes! You can create your own room or linen spray by mixing essential oils with water and a small amount of alcohol (like vodka) to help emulsify the mixture. Shake well before each use.
4. Are your essential oils 100% pure?
Yes, all our essential oils are 100% pure and sourced from reputable suppliers. We ensure that our products are free from synthetic additives or fillers.
5. Are your essential oils safe for children and pets?
While many essential oils are safe for children and pets when used properly, some may not be suitable. Always consult with a healthcare professional or veterinarian before using essential oils around children or pets.
6. How do I store my essential oils?
Store your essential oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep them tightly sealed to maintain their potency and aroma.
7. Can I apply essential oils directly to my skin?
Some essential oils can be applied topically, but they should be diluted with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) to avoid skin irritation. Always perform a patch test before applying any new oil.
8. How long do essential oils last?
When stored properly, most essential oils have a shelf life of about 1-3 years. Citrus oils tend to have a shorter shelf life, while others like patchouli can last longer.
9. What is the difference between an essential oil and fragrance oil?
Essential oils are derived from natural plant materials, while fragrance oils are synthetic compounds designed to mimic scents. Our products contain only pure essential oils for an authentic experience.

Some essential oils may not be safe during pregnancy. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before using any essential oil if you are pregnant or nursing.
