FAQs

How do I dilute Absolute Aromas Lavender Essential Oil for skin application?

For adults, a safe dilution is typically 1-2%. This means using 6 to 12 drops of essential oil per 1 ounce (approximately 30ml) of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Jojoba oil. Always perform a patch test first.

Can I use this Lavender oil in a bath?

Yes, but do not add the essential oil directly to the bathwater, as it will not mix and may irritate the skin. Mix 5-10 drops of essential oil with a tablespoon of a carrier oil or an emulsifier (like Epsom salts or a neutral liquid soap) before adding to your bath.

What is Linalyl Acetate, and why is it important?

Linalyl Acetate is a naturally occurring ester found in lavender oil. A higher percentage, like the 44% in this product, is associated with the oil's prominent relaxing, calming, and balancing properties, making it highly sought after for aromatherapy.

How should I store this essential oil to maintain its quality?

Store the oil in its original dark glass bottle, tightly sealed, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. This helps preserve its potency and aroma.

Is this Lavender oil suitable for children?

For children, use a lower dilution (0.5-1%) and consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare professional. Always use with caution and supervise application.

Can I add this oil to cosmetic products like lotions?

Yes, you can add it to unscented lotions or creams for a calming scent and potential skin benefits, but always ensure proper dilution first, similar to topical application guidelines.

Where does the Lavender oil originate from?

This specific Lavender oil is sourced from the foothills of the Alps in the Provence region of France, grown at altitudes between 800 and 1,000 metres.

Troubleshooting

Weak or no aroma when diffused

Ensure the diffuser is clean and functioning correctly. Check that the oil reservoir is adequately filled. Try adding an extra drop or two of oil.

Skin irritation after topical application

The oil may not have been sufficiently diluted. Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use.

Oil crystallization or cloudiness

This can sometimes happen with pure essential oils, especially in cooler temperatures. Gently warm the bottle by placing it in a bowl of warm water. Do not microwave. The oil should return to its normal state.
