Are your scents/ oils safe for animals & children?Updated 3 months ago
The short answer is: "Not all of them".
Most synthetic Fragrance Oils are considered safe and appropriate for use with children and animals, however certain essential oils can have adverse effects on both depending on the plant derivative.
Essential oils are highly concentrated botanicals and should be used with care. Children under the age of 15 could have adverse reactions when exposed to them. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or lactating, we do not recommend use. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not swallow. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Do not apply to skin undiluted.
It is important to do additional research to avoid known irritants when considering use of concentrated oils. Use carrier oils to dilute prior to use. Consult an essential oils book or other professional for suggested dilution ratios. It is recommended to only use unscented products on infants or sensitive children.
