Safety and dilution

This blend was created at a 3% dilution. If the area the blend is applied to comes in contact with the sun, use caution as bergamot is phototoxic. We recommend a small patch test to ensure there is no skin sensitivity.

Kid safety: For children between the ages of 5 and 10, we recommend 2 drops sweet marjoram, 1 drops sweet orange, 1 drops bergamot, 1 drop neroli, 1 drop roman chamomile.

Shelf Life

The ingredient with the shortest shelf life remaining becomes the shelf life of the entire blend.
