Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply essential oils directly to my skin?

Most essential oils are highly concentrated, and applying them undiluted can irritate skin. It is generally recommended to dilute them in a carrier oil first, and to do a patch test before regular use.

Can I mix different scents together?

Yes, blending oils is common. It's best to start with small amounts and adjust the ratio so the combined scent doesn't become overpowering.
