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. Geranium can bother sensitive skin above that.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, under sunscreen. This routine has no citrus oils, so there is no sun warning.
Can I add it to my moisturiser instead?
Yes: 1 drop of Geranium in 5 ml (a teaspoon) of unscented moisturiser, about 1%. Mix it in a small pot and use it as usual.
About hair & scalp oil
How often should I use it?
Twice a week, before you wash your hair.
Can I add it to my conditioner instead?
Yes. Mix 1 drop of Geranium into a palmful of conditioner, leave for a minute and rinse well.
Will it make my hair greasy?
Only until you wash it. Jojoba rinses out with shampoo.
About perfume & roll-on blends
Why only 1 drop of Ylang Ylang?
Ylang Ylang is strong and can bother skin above about 0.8%. One drop in 10 ml is 0.5%. Rose Otto in the Collection is kept to 1 drop too.
How strong should a roll-on be?
This one uses 5 drops in 10 ml, about 2.5%. Don't go above 6 drops in 10 ml.
Can I make it as a spray?
Yes: the same 5 drops in 10 ml of perfumer's alcohol, in a small spray bottle. Let it rest for 48 hours and spray onto skin, away from your eyes.
About soap & candle making
How much essential oil goes in soap?
About 1 to 2% of the base. That's 70 drops (3.5 ml) for 225 g, as in this recipe.
Is citrus OK in soap?
Yes. Soap rinses off, so the sun note for citrus oils on skin doesn't apply to it.
How much goes in a candle?
The candle in the Complete routine uses 60 drops in 100 g of soy wax, about 3%. Stir the oils in at about 80°C and pour at about 60°C.
Everything else
How is it different from Rose Geranium?
Both come from Pelargonium plants. Egyptian Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens, from Egypt) is greener with a touch of citrus. Rose Geranium (Pelargonium roseum, from South Africa) is softer and closer to rose.
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?
