Troubleshooting
Weak aroma when diffusing
Ensure your diffuser is clean and functioning correctly. Try increasing the number of drops slightly, or consider blending with another essential oil to enhance the scent profile.
Skin irritation after topical application
You may have used the oil without proper dilution. Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional.
Oil appears cloudy or discolored
This can sometimes occur due to temperature fluctuations. Gently warm the bottle in your hands. If the appearance does not improve or if there are other signs of degradation (off-smell), discontinue use.
