Essential Oil Instructions:

Mixing Oils
Always make sure you have the right amount of vegetable carrier oil to which you add the correct number of drops of essential oil or oils. Always use glass bottles, ideally amber or cobalt blue colored for mixing and storing essential oils. . Never use plastic bottles to mix or store essential oils.

Using Droppers or Pipepettes
Always use a separate dropper or pipepette for each oil. Using such items allows you to measure exactly the number of drops needed and prevent contaminating /mixing oils.

Using an Oil Burner or Vaporizer
Essential oils are volatile, meaning they burn very easily. When using an oil burner never allow the oil anywhere near the naked flame of the candle. When using a vaporizer, never allow the bowl of the vaporizer to dry out while the candle is still lit or vaporizer is plugged in. Never use the burner in a room where small children are or play or around active pets.
