list of general safety guidelines that should be observed when using
any of our products and especially our essential oils range. (This list
is not exhaustive).

usage around cats.
2) Keep products away from delicate eye areas.
If an accident occurs with neat essential oil flush the eyes with cold
full fat milk or vegetable oil to dilute. If a accident occurs with a
diluted oil flush with clean warm water. If stinging is still present
seek immediate medical advice.

bath water dilute the oil first in a small amount of full fat milk,
carrier oil or our dispersing bath oil base.

in isolated cases cause sensitisation, nausea or

this occurs. If susceptible to this kind of reaction it is always best
to do a patch test before use on a larger area.
