FAQs
What does '100% Pure Essential Oil' mean?
It means the oil is derived solely from the aromatic plant material (in this case, citrus fruits, leaves, and twigs) through distillation or mechanical methods, without any added synthetic fragrances, fillers, or carrier oils.
How many drops are in a 10ml bottle?
While exact counts vary, each drop is approximately 0.05ml, meaning a 10ml bottle contains roughly 200 drops.
Can I ingest these essential oils?
No, these essential oils are intended for aromatherapy and external use only. Do not ingest them.
How should I dilute essential oils for massage?
For adults, a safe dilution is typically 1-3% essential oil to carrier oil. For a 10ml bottle of carrier oil (approx. 200 drops), use 2-6 drops of essential oil. Always perform a patch test first.
Can I mix these oils with other essential oils?
Yes, these citrus oils blend well with many other essential oils, including floral, woody, and spicy notes. Experiment to create your own unique aroma blends.
What is Petitgrain oil derived from?
Petitgrain essential oil is typically extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium amara), offering a fresh, green, slightly floral, and woody aroma, distinct from the fruit-derived citrus oils in the pack.
Are these oils safe to use around pets?
Use essential oils with caution around pets, especially cats and birds, as they can be sensitive. Ensure good ventilation and that pets cannot directly ingest or come into contact with the oils. Consult a veterinarian if you have concerns.
Troubleshooting
Weak scent in diffuser
Ensure the correct number of drops are used for your diffuser's capacity and room size. Check that the diffuser is clean and functioning correctly. Try using a different oil from the pack to see if the issue persists.
Oil not dispensing from dropper
Ensure the glass dropper is not clogged. Gently tap the bottle or check if the plastic dropper tip is seated correctly. If the oil is very viscous (less likely with citrus oils), slightly warming the bottle in your hands might help.
Skin irritation after topical use
The oil was likely not diluted sufficiently. Discontinue use on skin and wash the area. Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil (e.g., coconut, jojoba, almond oil) at a safe dilution ratio (typically 1-3%) before applying to the skin. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin first.
