Safety Advise
Essential oils are highly concentrated, powerful liquids. Their potency must be respected and they can be toxic if used incorrectly. The way you handle and use essential oils is very important. Please read the following advice to help ensure that you use essential oils safely and effectively. Please note that this list does not constitute a complete safety reference. If you are unsure please contact us or a qualified local aroma therapist for more advice.
- Certain essential oils are flammable liquids.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
- If you have a medical condition and are taking any medication or undergoing any type of medical treatment you should check with your doctor and a qualified aroma therapist to ensure that it is safe to use aromatherapy in conjunction with your prescribed treatment.
- Certain essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy.
- Always consult a qualified aroma therapist before using essential oils with babies and children.
- AYRTONS ESSENTIAL OILS are made with the purest ingredients available and are of USP/BP (pharmaceutical grade) standards therefore some of them would be considered safe internally; however, we never suggest ingesting essential oils without guidance from a licensed medical practitioner or without appropriate aromatherapy education and understanding of the safety issues involved in doing so.
- Essential oils should never be applied undiluted to the skin as they can cause irritation (there are only a couple of exceptions to this rule i.e. Lavender and Tea Tree). Follow all recipes and methods carefully and do not increase the amount of essential oil quoted.
- Certain essential oils (i.e. spices) can cause skin irritation for people with sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin we recommend performing a small patch test prior to using any new oil or product.
- A few essential oils such as Lemon and other citrus oils are phototoxic which means they can cause skin sensitisation and skin discolouration upon exposure to light. These oils should not be applied to the skin before direct exposure to sunlight.
