Troubleshooting
Skin irritation after topical application
Discontinue use immediately. Ensure the oil was properly diluted with a carrier oil. Next time, use a lower dilution ratio and perform a patch test on a larger area of skin first.
Diffuser is not producing much aroma
Check the water level in the diffuser and ensure the correct number of drops (3-5) has been added. Clean the diffuser according to its manufacturer's instructions.
Oil appears cloudy or has changed color
This may indicate degradation due to improper storage. Store essential oils in dark glass bottles in a cool, dark place. If the change is significant, consider replacing the oil.
