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 during the first three months of pregnancy or while breastfeeding, or on children under 6 years of age (except on medical advice).

• Not recommended for inhalation or diffusion for asthmatics, due to its eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) content.

• Favour use on the skin or by diffusion/inhalation, as the oral route is less suitable for this essential oil.

• Possible interactions with medication (due to its 1,8-cineole content, which has an inducing effect on certain enzymes), do not use orally without medical advice at the same time as taking medication.

• This essential oil is gentler on the respiratory tract than Eucalyptus globulus. Preferable for sensitive individuals compared with Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, which may be more of an irritant.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Avoid contact with the eyes.

• Certain natural compounds contained in this essential oil may present a risk of allergy for some sensitive individuals when the essential oil is incorporated into a cosmetic composition (according to the 7th Amendment to the European Cosmetics Directive (2003/15/EC)): limonene, linalool, citral (neral and geranial), geraniol.

• As a general rule, always carry out a test application of your mixture in the crease of the elbow at least 48 hours before using it.

• For use as a cosmetic ingredient, please refer to the specific precautions.
