Avoid applying oils to sensitive areas of the body. Do NOT apply oils in the eyes, nose, or ears. Apply a carrier oil if your body accidentally contacts an Essential Oil in one of these areas.

It is also important to remember that Essential Oils are very potent and may linger on the hands or fingers after topical application. After applying oils with your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid rubbing or touching the face and eyes after applying oil as these areas tend to be very sensitive to Essential Oils.

SENSITIVE AREAS TO BE AVOIDED WHEN USING ESSENTIAL OILS TOPICALLY

• Some facial areas, such as the skin around the eyes.

• Eyes and inner ears.

• Inside the nose.

• Broken, damaged, or otherwise injured skin.

If the reaction occurs in the eye, immediately rinse the eye with vegetable oil such as Fractionated Coconut Oil. If no vegetable oil is available, fat-containing milk (not skim milk) is a great alternative. Because Essential Oils are not water soluble, water will not be as effective at removing the Essential Oil as a lipid-containing substance. The eye should be flushed multiple times until irritation ceases. Then, seek medical attention from a trained professional to ensure no long-term damage occurred.
