How to Use

1. For a diffuser, follow the device instructions and begin with 3 drops, adjusting only within the diffuser’s recommended amount.
2. For a small diluted body-oil test blend, mix 1 drop with 10 ml of carrier oil such as Jojoba Oil or Sweet Almond Oil.
3. Patch test the diluted blend on a small area and wait 24 hours before broader use.
4. In haircare or skincare formulations, calculate the essential oil as part of the total formula and follow the relevant ingredient safety limits.
5. Do not add drops directly to a finished shampoo, conditioner, or cream container; formulate and mix the complete batch evenly.
6. Keep the bottle tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
