skin care

Naturally cultivated and steam distilled, these natural oils are extracted from the leaves, bark, flowers, roots, nuts, berries, and fruit of various herbs, shrubs, and trees. Essential oils are very strong and need to be diluted in water, or vegetable oil, when applied directly to the skin. If redness or heat occurs, apply more vegetable oil.

When the strength of an essential oil is discussed, one is not referring to the aroma, but rather the individual characteristics of the oil. Some essential oils are thousands of times stronger then, say, their fruit counterparts. One drop will do a lot!  More is NEVER better when working with essential oils.
