About bedtime wind-down
How many drops go in a diffuser?
Six drops for a standard 100 to 200 ml diffuser: 3 Lavender, 2 Cedarwood, 1 Bergamot. Go up a drop at a time if the room is large.
How many drops are in a bottle?
A 10 ml bottle holds about 200 drops. The blend uses 3 drops of Lavender per fill.
Is it safe to diffuse around pets?
Diffuse in a ventilated room for 30 to 60 minutes, and make sure your pet can leave the room. Ask your vet first for cats and birds.
About massage & bath
Can I add lavender straight to my bath?
No. Essential oils don't mix with water and sit on top in neat drops. Mix them into a carrier oil first, then add a tablespoon of the mix.
Is Clary Sage OK for everyone?
Avoid Clary Sage when pregnant or breastfeeding. Use Lavender in Jojoba alone instead.
Will the bath be slippery?
A little. Rinse the tub after and take care getting out.
About skin & face oil
Why only 6 drops in 30 ml?
Face skin is more delicate, so face oils stay around 1%. That's 6 drops in 30 ml.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, under sunscreen. This routine has no citrus oils, so there is no sun warning.
Does Jojoba feel greasy?
Jojoba is light and sinks in within a few minutes. 3 to 4 drops covers the whole face.
About hair & scalp oil
How often should I use it?
Twice a week, before you wash your hair.
Can I leave it in overnight?
You can, with a towel on the pillow. Wash it out in the morning with two rounds of shampoo.
Will it make my hair greasy?
Only until you wash it. Jojoba rinses out with shampoo.
Everything else
Which lavender is this?
Lavandula angustifolia, often called true lavender. It's softer and sweeter than lavandin, which smells sharper and more of camphor.
Can I put it straight on my skin?
No. Mix it into a carrier oil first and patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before.
Which size should I pick?
Most people pick Complete. Routines over $50 ship free, and over $75 they also get a free Eucalyptus. The Starter is the three items one recipe needs; the Collection adds two more.
Do I save when I buy more than one?
Yes, on everything in your cart: 2 items 10% off, 3 to 5 items 15% off, 6 or more 20% off. It's applied automatically.
When does my order ship free?
When the products in your cart come to $50 or more after discounts. A free Eucalyptus is added at $75 and a free Lemon at $95. Shipping Protection doesn't count toward these.
What if I don't like it?
Love it or your money back within 30 days.
