Safety & Precautions

Essential oils are the plant’s concentrated spirit. a single drop holds its will, wisdom, and a touch of wildness. You’re working with nature’s heavy artillery, not hobby supplies. Handle with care; reverence is the first safeguard. These are allies, not employees. Treat them accordingly. Use with both heart and mind. intuition for flow, education for form.

  • Dilute before skin contact. Mix with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil.
    Trust me, “raw essence” sounds better than it feels.

  • Do not use undiluted (neat). The burn is real, and it’s not enlightenment.

  • Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. If contact occurs, dilute immediately with vegetable oil or milk. NEVER water first. Alchemy 101: oil and water have never agreed to a merger.

  • For external use only. If you can taste it, you’ve gone too far.

  • Store properly. Sunlight and heat speed oxidation…and explosions. Neither improves the aroma.

  • Photosensitivity warning: Citrus oils and sunlight don’t mix. Apply responsibly!
    Your skin is not a crème brûlée, and unless you’re auditioning as Toast, stay out of the sun for 24 hours.

  • Children, Pets, and Pregnancy: Small in size, high in absorption — please don’t turn them into experiments.

  • Discontinue use if redness, rash, or irritation occurs — your skin has entered the chat with performance feedback.
