Essential Oil Safety – Baff Candle Ghana

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Our essential oils are 100% pure and highly concentrated. To ensure safe and enjoyable use, please follow these important guidelines:

1. General Safety

  • Essential oils are for external use only unless stated otherwise.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
  • If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking medication, consult a healthcare professional before use.

2. Dilution Guidelines

  • Essential oils should be diluted with a carrier oil (e.g., coconut, jojoba, almond) before applying to the skin.

  • General dilution rate: 2–3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil for adults.

  • For children over 2 years old: 1 drop of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil.

  • Do not use essential oils on babies under 3 months old without professional advice.

3. Skin Sensitivity Test

  • Before first use, perform a patch test: apply diluted oil to a small area of skin and wait 24 hours.

  • Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs.

4. Safe Usage Methods

  • Diffuser/Aroma Burner: Add 3–7 drops (or up to 20 for larger rooms) to water and diffuse for 15–60 minutes at a time.

  • Bath: Dilute 7–20 drops in a tablespoon of carrier oil before adding to warm bath water.

  • Massage: Always dilute before applying to skin.

  • Inhalation: Add a few drops to a bowl of hot water, cover head with a towel, and inhale steam for no more than 5 minutes.

5. Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

  • Keep bottles tightly closed to preserve potency.

  • Use within 12–24 months for best quality.

6. Cautions

  • Some oils are phototoxic (e.g., citrus oils) and can increase sun sensitivity—avoid direct sunlight for 12 hours after applying.

  • Certain oils are not recommended for children, pregnant women, or people with specific health conditions—check product labels for warnings.

  • If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and do not induce vomiting.
