Storage

Essential oils are sensitive to UV radiation and to the gradual evaporation of their volatile constituents. It is therefore essential to store your essential oils in a dark glass or aluminium bottle with a tightly fitting cap, at a temperature between 5°C and 40°C (41°F and 104°F).

Precautions

• Not for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women, or by children.

• Do not use for prolonged periods without medical advice.

• Due to a possible oestrogen-like effect, it is not recommended in cases of mastopathy or hormone-dependent cancer (breast, ovary, endometrium).

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Avoid contact with the eyes.

• Some natural compounds in this essential oil may present an allergy risk for sensitive individuals when the oil is incorporated into a cosmetic composition (in accordance with the 7th Amendment to the European Cosmetics Directive (2003/15/EC)): limonene, linalool.

• As a general rule, always perform a patch test of your mixture in the crease of your elbow at least 48 hours before use.
