Safe Use Guidelines
Please note that our essential oils are not for internal use, except for oregano oil and Chios mastic oil. Our essential oils are 100% pure and highly concentrated, so they should never be applied directly to the skin. Always dilute them in a carrier oil before use. Keep them stored in a safe place, away from children.
For safety, we recommend performing an allergy test before using any essential oil. Apply a drop of a 1% diluted mixture (essential oil in a carrier oil) to your forearm and wait for 4-5 hours to check for any reaction.
Avoid contact with the eyes, as they are highly sensitive. Do not apply essential oils near or around the eye area, even when diluted.
If using a citrus essential oil, avoid sun exposure for at least 6 hours, as these oils are photosensitive and may cause skin irritation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.

Uses of Peppermint Essential Oil
- For Foot Odor: Apply a few drops of peppermint essential oil to a cotton pad and rub it on your feet. Alternatively, add a few drops directly inside your shoes. Since it is an essential oil, it evaporates quickly, eliminating moisture buildup and the risk of fungal growth.
- For Colds (as an Air Freshener): Add 5-8 drops of peppermint essential oil to the water in an oil burner and let it diffuse throughout the night. This creates an atmosphere that helps alleviate cold symptoms.
- For Headaches: Peppermint essential oil is one of the few essential oils that can be applied undiluted to the skin. Place one drop on your fingertip and gently massage your temples and neck. Be careful to avoid direct contact with the eyes.
