About fresh home scent
How many drops go in a diffuser?
Six drops for a standard 100 to 200 ml diffuser: 3 Bergamot, 2 Lavender, 1 Palmarosa. 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 Bergamot 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 hair & scalp oil
How often should I use it?
Once or twice a week, before you wash your hair.
Can I leave it in overnight?
No. Bergamot reacts with sunlight, so wash it out after 30 minutes.
Can I add it to my shampoo?
Yes: 1 drop of Bergamot in a palmful of shampoo, used straight away. Don't add it to the whole bottle.
About perfume & roll-on blends
Why only 2 drops of Bergamot?
Bergamot reacts with sunlight, so on skin it stays under 0.4%: 2 drops in 30 ml. The other oils carry the scent.
Can I wear it in the sun?
Not on skin the sun reaches. Bergamot reacts with sunlight, so wear it under clothes or in the evening, and keep that skin out of the sun for 12 hours.
Why wait two days?
The oils settle into the Jojoba. The scent is rounder after 48 hours.
About soap & candle making
How many drops is 3 ml?
About 60 drops. The candle uses 3 ml of Bergamot.
Why does my candle smell faint?
Essential oils are softer in wax than fragrance oils. Give it the full 48 hours before the first burn.
Does the sun note apply to candles?
No. It's only for Bergamot left on skin. Candles and soap are fine.
Everything else
Which bergamot is this?
Citrus bergamia, sourced from Italy. It's the citrus that gives Earl Grey tea its scent.
Does bergamot react with sunlight?
Yes, on skin. Where it stays on skin, keep that skin covered or out of the sun for 12 hours. Diffusing, candles, soap and a scalp oil you wash out don't need the wait.
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.
