Please Note:

Even though these bath and spa products are all natural

 and perfectly safe to use, there are some precautions that my customers

need to understand. Essential oils should be avoided by

people with certain health conditions. If you fall under the guidelines

below and still choose to use them just be aware of these facts.

THESE PRODUCTS ARE FOR YOUNG ADULT AND

ADULTS ONLY and not for use on babies or young children.

This information is not designed to scare you in anyway,

it is my way of making people aware that essential oils

are very powerful natural substances. Just as with herbs and

prescription drugs, they need to be treated with respect and care

especially for those who have certain medical conditions.

These cautions can also be found in just about any aromatherapy

book you look in if you are ever in doubt. This cautionary

statement is for your information and benefit.

 

1. Bergamot, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Rose, Juniper,

Jasmine, Peppermint, Rosewood, Lemongrass,

Chamomile, Myrrh, Geranium, Fennel, Clary Sage

 and Rosemary essential oils: 

Avoid these oils if you are pregnant. These oils can be too

stimulating to the pregnant mother's body especially

during the first trimesters or induce menstrual flow.

Rose should be avoided and it has been know to start uterine contractions.

 

2. Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Pine, Chamomile, Rosemary:

Avoid these oils if you have high blood pressure or epilepsy. The

compounds in the oils can elevate blood pressure or trigger seizures.

 

3. Chamomile and Chrysanthemum:

Avoid if you have allergies due to ragweed.

The two oils belong to the "Aster" family or ragweed family of plants.

 

 

4. A caution for Citrus Oils (essential oils only not perfume)

Avoid applying citrus oils in direct prolonged exposure to sunlight

(such as the beach or tanning booths). Citrus oils can cause the skin

to become photo sensitive and cause irritation

or a skin burn if exposed to direct sunlight. Never apply citrus oils to your

skin undiluted. Wait at least 3hours after applying

before direct prolonged exposure

to sunlight.

Prices are subject to change due to availability,  supply of

ingredients & supplies used. For I am at the mercy of Mother

Nature and her moods. Only the highest quality essential oils and

ingredients are used. Any fragrance oil of high quality skin grade.

Rest assured that all my products are not

and never will be tested on animals
