The do’s and don’ts of using essential oil cleaners without harming yourself, children, or pets.
Essential oils are highly concentrated.
The same properties that make them powerful cleaning agents, mean we have to use them with care and respect to avoid issues such as skin irritation, sensitization, or other negative reactions. They can also be too strong for children under 5, babies, pregnant women, and animals.
Always dilute essential oils properly. We recommend sticking with these dilutions:
NOTE: In some circumstances, it’s appropriate to use a higher concentration of essential oil. Unless you’re a certified aromatherapist or following a professionally crafted recipe, it’s a good idea to use the dilution guidelines above.
Essential oil safety is a key aspect of responsible blending. There’s a lot more to know—such as avoiding phototoxic reactions (blistering or burning in sunlight), using oils safely if you’re pregnant or nursing, and the possible complications of using essential oils internally.
