FAQs
Can I use this essential oil directly on my skin?
No, Dr Organic Lavender Pure Essential Oil should never be used undiluted on the skin. Always dilute it with a carrier oil or water as per the usage instructions.
How much oil should I use for a relaxing bath?
Add 3-4 drops of the essential oil to 10-15 ml of water, then disperse this mixture into your bathwater.
What is a skin patch test and why is it important?
A skin patch test involves applying a small amount of the diluted product to a discrete area of skin 48 hours before general use. It helps identify potential allergic reactions or sensitivities.
Is this lavender oil suitable for children?
While lavender is generally calming, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils on children. Ensure proper dilution and a patch test.
How long does a 10ml bottle typically last?
Usage frequency and method (aromatherapy vs. massage) will affect longevity. For regular aromatherapy use (3-4 drops per session), a 10ml bottle can last several weeks.
What are the benefits for dry or irritated skin?
When mixed with a carrier oil and applied topically, lavender oil's natural antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties can help calm and reduce inflammation associated with dry, irritated skin.
What does 'certified organic' mean for this product?
Certified organic means the ingredients are grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs, ensuring a pure and natural product.
Troubleshooting
Oil does not diffuse properly
Ensure the diffuser is clean and has adequate water. Check that the correct number of drops is being used as per diffuser instructions.
Skin irritation after use
Discontinue use immediately. Ensure the oil was properly diluted according to the instructions. Perform a more thorough patch test next time with a lower concentration.
Loss of scent potency
Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place. Older oils may lose potency over time.
