Storage

Essential oils are sensitive to UV radiation and to the gradual evaporation of their constituents. It is therefore essential to store your essential oils in a sealed coloured glass or aluminium bottle at a temperature of between 5°C and 40°C.

Precautions

• Do not use in pregnant or breastfeeding women, or in children under 6 years old.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• At high doses, may cause skin irritation.

• Internal use only in limited doses and for short durations, on the advice of a therapist.
