Starter Tips for Using Essential Oils Safely:
If you have sensitive skin you can dilute essential oils with a carrier oil (there is a sample of V6 base oil in the kit for that purpose), especially for children or elderly with sensitive skin.
Be careful not to bring essential oils into your eyes and ears. If anything happens, remember to dilute the oils with a vegetable oil (use whatever you have in the kitchen) and not with water.
Use glass or stainless steel containers when mixing oils with water, as citrus oils can degrade plastic.
Please note that the essential oils included in the bundle may vary seasonal and from country to country.
