How To Use

20 Practical Reasons To Keep Lavender Oil At The Ready

Safety

For Adults

Never ingest essential oils. Always dilute properly before applying to the skin — a good rule of thumb is 12 drops of essential oil per 1 ounce of carrier oil.

For Children

Do not allow children to ingest essential oils. Always dilute before topical use, and use diffusers for short periods in well-ventilated areas. Consult your pediatrician before use.

While Pregnant or Breastfeeding

All of the single oils in our shop -  lavender, lemon, and sweet orange — are considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when properly diluted.

Freshly Washed is the only blend in our shop that is safe for topical and aromatic use during pregnancy, when properly diluted. All other blends contain oils that should be avoided while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Even for oils that are generally considered safe, always consult your doctor before using essential oils during pregnancy, do not use them during your first trimester, and never ingest essential oils.

If you choose to apply oils to your skin, dilute them properly with a carrier oil such as coconut, almond, or olive oil. A 1% dilution is recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding (about 2 drops of essential oil in a 10 ml roll-on bottle, filled the rest of the way with carrier oil).
