Essential Oils Dermal Limits
Here are 50 essential oils with their scientific and common names, along with their dermal limits (maximum recommended concentrations for safe skin application)
To determine the dermal limits for both leave-on and wash-off products, it's important to understand that leave-on products are generally more restricted in essential oil concentrations due to prolonged skin exposure. For essential oils, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) provides guidelines, but often, for wash-off products, safe concentrations can be double those of leave-on products, as they have less contact time with the skin.
These percentages reflect general safety standards for typical leave-on and wash-off products, so depending on your formula and region, always cross-check with up-to-date IFRA guidelines.
Fragrance Oils: Check out our blog post about essential oils and fragrance oils. Here is a list of fragrance oils that we use in our products:
*Tobacco Vanilla (used in our Vanilla Smoke products and Oatmeal Honey Soap)
*Bay Rum (used in our Lunar Veil products)
*If pregnant or suffering from illness, consult a doctor before use. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. As with all products, users should test a small amount prior to normal extended use. Oils and ingredients can be combustible. Use caution when exposing to heat or when laundering linens that have been exposed to this product and then exposed to heat of the dryer. This product can expose you to chemicals including methyl alcohol, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Please note that these dermal limits are general recommendations and can vary based on factors such as age, skin sensitivity, and individual reactions. Always perform a patch test and consult with a certified aromatherapist before using essential oils, especially at higher concentrations.
