Essential Oils, Body Oils & Roll Ons
How should I store my essential oil products?
How should I store my essential oil products?
Proper storage of essential oils is crucial to maintain their quality and efficacy. Direct sunlight can heat the essential oil and deteriorate its delicate compounds, diminishing its efficiency and therapeutic benefits. To ensure the longevity and potency of our essential oils, we bottle them in amber glass. Amber glass provides a natural barrier against harmful UV rays, protecting the oils from degradation. We recommend storing your essential oils in a cool, dry, and dark place, such as a cabinet or drawer.
Are essential oils safe for pets?
Are essential oils safe for pets?
Essential oils can be toxic to pets, particularly cats. The risk of poisoning depends on the type of oil, concentration, and how the pet is exposed (ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact). Symptoms can range from drooling and vomiting to coma, seizures, and liver injury.
Some common essential oils that are particularly toxic to pets include:
- Eucalyptus and tea tree oil
- Citrus oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit)
- Peppermint oil
- Pine oil
- Ylang Ylang
If you suspect your pet has been exposed to essential oils, contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ). Do not attempt to treat your pet at home without professional guidance.
Safe Use of Essential Oils Around Pets:
- Use essential oil burners and vaporisers only in well-ventilated spaces.
- Ensure pets do not have access to containers that hold essential oils.
- Never apply concentrated essential oils to your pet's skin or coat.
- Consult your veterinarian before using any essential oils around your pet.
Remember, every animal is different, and what might be safe for one pet could be harmful to another. Always err on the side of caution and consult your veterinarian for specific advice.
