Using Essential Oils Properly

From the oil burner to skincare: a few basics for using them safely.

Less Is More

Essential oils are highly concentrated. For an oil burner or diffuser, a few drops are enough to fill a room. On the skin, the rule is: always dilute — for example in a carrier oil such as almond or jojoba.

A Scent for Every Mood

Lavender is traditionally linked with calm, citrus scents feel invigorating, and woody notes like cedar are grounding. Try what works for you — scent is a personal thing.

What to Keep in Mind

Not every oil suits every use. Pregnancy, sensitive skin and children all call for special care. When in doubt, check the usage notes — or talk to a qualified professional.
