INFORMATION ON THE USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS
STORAGE AND PRESERVATION
Essential oils are particularly fragile and volatile and should be stored in a cool place, away from
light and in a well-sealed bottle. Keep them in their original packaging, away from light, air and
heat.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Keep out of the reach of children.
Since essential oils are concentrated plant extracts, they are extremely powerful. It is therefore
necessary to follow the recommended dosage and to take certain precautions.
Do not swallow. In the event of accidental ingestion, contact your nearest Poison Control
Centre.
Do not inject the essential oil by intravenous or intramuscular injection.
Never apply pure essential oil to the skin (except in exceptional cases).
Not suitable for children under 7, pregnant or breastfeeding women without consulting their
doctor, people with a history of fits or epilepsy or the elderly, unless specifically stated
otherwise. Ask the advice of a health professional. Not recommended for people undergoing
medical treatment.
Avoid contact with the eyes, mucous membranes and broken skin.
If using on the skin, the recommendation is not to apply the essential oils directly to the skin and
to dilute them in a neutral base (3 to 4 drops in one teaspoon of neutral base). The same
applies for use in the bath, since essential oils do not mix with water.
In the event of an accident, do not rinse with water but with an oily substance or neutral
vegetable oil, such as sweet almond oil.
Wash your hands well after contact with essential oils.
