UNDERSTANDING ESSENTIAL OIL USE
Haus Of Alchemy incorporates essential oils into select candles, body care products, ritual products, and other creations for their aromatic, botanical, and sensory qualities.
Essential oils are concentrated substances derived from plants. Although they are widely used in personal care, fragrance, and ritual practices, they can cause irritation, allergic reactions, or other adverse effects in some individuals. Plant-derived or natural does not automatically mean appropriate or safe for every person or every method of use. (fda.gov)
Always follow the instructions provided for the specific product. Do not use an essential oil or essential-oil-containing product in a manner that is not specified or intended for that product.
BEFORE USING A PRODUCT CONTAINING ESSENTIAL OILS
Review the complete ingredient information, directions, warnings, and intended use before using a product containing essential oils.
If you have known allergies or sensitivities, are pregnant or nursing, are taking medication, have a medical condition, or have questions about whether a particular ingredient is appropriate for you, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before use.
ESSENTIAL OILS IN CANDLES & AROMATIC PRODUCTS
Some Haus Of Alchemy candles and other aromatic creations contain essential oils or fragrance materials intended to be released into the surrounding environment during use.
Use candles only as directed and in a well-ventilated space. If you experience headache, irritation, coughing, breathing discomfort, or another unexpected reaction while using an aromatic product, extinguish the candle or discontinue use and move to fresh air.
Individuals with known sensitivities to fragrances or essential oils should review the product's ingredient information before use. Fragrance exposure can affect some sensitive individuals, including through inhalation. (fda.gov)
TOPICAL USE
Only use products containing essential oils on the body when the product is specifically formulated and labeled for topical use.
Do not apply concentrated essential oils directly to the skin unless the product instructions specifically indicate that they are intended for that use.
If you are using a topical product for the first time, consider testing a small amount on a limited area of skin before broader use. Stop using the product if irritation, redness, itching, burning, swelling, rash, or other unexpected symptoms occur.
PHOTOSENSITIVITY
Certain essential oils may increase skin sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
For information about ingredients that may cause photosensitivity and precautions regarding sun or UV exposure, please review our Photosensitivity Safety guide.
DO NOT INGEST
Haus Of Alchemy essential-oil products are not intended for ingestion unless a product is specifically identified and labeled for such use.
Never swallow essential oils or use them internally unless specifically directed by an appropriately qualified professional and the product is expressly intended for that purpose.
If an essential oil or product containing essential oils is accidentally swallowed, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 in the United States or seek appropriate medical assistance. (poison.org)
CHILDREN & PETS
Keep essential oils and products containing essential oils out of the reach of children and pets.
Children and animals may be particularly vulnerable to inappropriate exposure or accidental ingestion. For additional information, review our Children & Ritual Practices and Pets safety guides.
STORAGE
Store essential oils and products containing essential oils according to the product instructions.
Unless otherwise directed, keep products tightly closed and away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep products in their original containers so that ingredient information and safety instructions remain available.
PRODUCT-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
Essential oil safety depends on the specific oil, concentration, formulation, route of exposure, and intended use.
For this reason, the instructions and warnings provided with each Haus Of Alchemy creation take precedence over general guidance on this page.
If you have questions about a particular product or ingredient, contact us before use.
Knowledge is part of the practice.
