FAQ about essential oils

What are the risks of essential oils for pregnant women?

The use of most essential oils, especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy, could potentially lead to neurotoxic effects that may cause nervous or respiratory spasms, as well as nausea that could increase the risk of miscarriage.

Do all essential oils cause photosensitivity?

No, only certain essential oils, such as those of lemon or grapefruit, are photosensitive. It is then advised not to expose oneself to the sun for four hours following application.

Are essential oils suitable for sensitive skin?

Essential oils can be suitable for sensitive skin, but it's important to know that most contain allergens, such as linalool or geraniol. These molecules have the potential to irritate and sensitise the skin, hence the importance of testing the essential oil beforehand, just like any skincare product.

Is it possible to add essential oils into a moisturising cream?

Yes, generally, this is possible. However, it is advised to exercise caution if the moisturising cream already contains essential oils and not to exceed the maximum dosage indicated by the essential oil supplier.

Can essential oils be effective against acne?
