Product Information & Usage

Not FDA Evaluated

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. They are cosmetic products designed for topical use only.

Individual Results May Vary

Every person's skin is unique. Results from using our products may vary based on individual skin type, condition, sensitivity, and other factors. What works well for one person may not work the same way for another.

Patch Test Recommended

Before using any new product, we strongly recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin (such as the inner forearm) and waiting 24-48 hours to check for any adverse reactions. If irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately.

Safety & Precautions

Allergies & Sensitivities

If you have known allergies to any botanical oils, nuts, seeds, or plant-based ingredients, please carefully review our ingredient lists before use. Discontinue use immediately if you experience any allergic reaction, and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Pregnancy & Nursing

If you are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, please consult with your healthcare provider before using any new skincare products, including our botanical oil blends.

Medical Conditions

If you have any existing skin conditions (such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or acne), are undergoing medical treatment, or are taking medications that affect your skin, please consult with your dermatologist or healthcare provider before using our products.

External Use Only

Our products are formulated for external, topical use only. Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If product gets into eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Product Quality & Storage

Natural Ingredients

Our products contain natural botanical oils without synthetic preservatives. While we use oils with good stability, natural products may have a shorter shelf life than synthetic alternatives. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Check product labels for specific storage instructions and best-by dates.

Color & Scent Variations

Because we use pure botanical oils, slight variations in color, scent, and consistency may occur between batches. This is normal and does not affect product quality or efficacy. Natural oils may also change slightly over time.
