  4. Keep away from eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes, and broken skin.
  5. Certain oils (e.g., citrus oils) are photosensitive and may cause skin reactions when exposed to sunlight.
  6. Do not ingest essential oils unless under the supervision of a certified aromatherapist or medical professional.
  7. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Carrier Oils

  1. Used to safely dilute essential oils for topical application.
  2. May cause allergic reactions in some individuals (e.g., nut-based oils like almond oil).

Fragrance Oils & Perfume Oils

  1. For external use only and not suitable for ingestion.
  2. Should not be applied directly to skin without proper dilution.

Hydrosols (Floral Waters)

  1. Generally safer than essential oils, but should still be patch tested for skin sensitivity.
  2. Best stored in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place to prevent microbial growth.
