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.
How often should I use the scalp oil?
Twice a week, before you wash your hair.
Will it make my hair greasy?
Only until you wash it. Argan rinses out with shampoo.
About bedtime wind-down
How many drops go in a diffuser?
Six drops for a standard 100 to 200 ml diffuser: 2 Roman Chamomile, 3 Lavender, 1 Cedarwood. 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 2 drops of Roman Chamomile 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 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 peel 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 balms, butters & lip care
Why so few drops?
A balm goes on large areas of skin, so it stays around 1%: 12 drops in 60 g. A lip balm uses half that.
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 it without beeswax?
Yes. Use candelilla wax, about half as much, as it sets firmer.
Everything else
Which chamomile is this?
Roman chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile, from Italy. It is pale and smells soft and fruity, a little like apple. German chamomile is deep blue and smells warmer and more herbal.
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.
Is there a bigger bottle?
There is a 118 ml Roman chamomile oil blend for diffusing and skin. It is a different product: the recipes here are for the 10 ml essential oil.
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.
