About hair & scalp oil
Can I add it to my shampoo?
Yes. Stir 10 drops into a 250 ml bottle of unscented shampoo and shake before each wash.
Will the blue colour stain?
At 3 drops in 30 ml the oil is pale. Neat German chamomile marks fabric, so use an old towel.
Will it make my hair greasy?
Only until you wash it. Argan rinses out with shampoo.
About skin & face oil
Why just 1 drop of chamomile?
German chamomile is strong and deep blue. One drop in 30 ml scents the oil and keeps it a pale tint. Face oils stay under 1%.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, under sunscreen. This routine has no citrus peel oils, so there is no sun warning.
How many drops are in a bottle?
A 10 ml bottle holds about 200 drops. The face oil uses 1 drop of German Chamomile in 30 ml.
About massage & bath
Will it stain the bath or towels?
The mixed oil is pale, but neat German chamomile is deep blue and marks fabric. Use a dark towel and rinse the tub after.
Can I add it 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.
Will the bath be slippery?
A little. Rinse the tub after and take care getting out.
About balms, butters & lip care
Why only 3 drops of chamomile?
German chamomile is strong and deep blue. Three drops scent the whole balm and keep its colour pale. The balm stays around 1% in all.
How long does the balm keep?
Use it within 6 months. Keep it in a cool, dry place and use a clean finger or a small spatula.
Can I make a lip balm?
Yes: the same base with 2 drops of German Chamomile and 4 of Lavender, about 0.5%. Pour it into lip balm tubes instead of tins.
Everything else
Which chamomile is this?
German chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla, organic, from Hungary. It is deep blue and smells warm and herbal. Roman chamomile is pale and smells lighter and fruitier.
Can I put it straight on my skin?
No. Mix it into a carrier oil, balm or butter 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?
