As essential oils are volatile compounds and evaporate fast, always make sure to close the lids after each use.

We recommend to stay out of the sun for 12 hours after application, or to use the essential oils on a section of your body that will not be exposed. Please be sure to wear sunscreen and do not use any form of tanning beds as you can burn and damage your skin. As a precaution, each of our bottles, blends and purefumes indicate a warning for sun exposure. Essential oils to avoid in direct sunlight or prior to a sunbed treatment are all citrus oils, ginger, cinamon, citronella, lemongrass and clove. Note that we are speaking only for the essential oils that we carry, and recommend for you to do further research in regards to other types of essentail oils available on the market.

Because of this, the plastic, water and oils are not heated while diffusing and the plastic has no interaction with the essential oils. Our diffusers are designed and built to diffuse essential oils, covering approximately a 500 square foot space. Due to its ultrasonic nature, it mists into the air and adds some moisture to the surrounding environment, but not as much as a traditional humidifier does.

    We recommend cleaning your diffuser once a week by adding a little bit of vinegar into the water and running it for 10-15 minutes. Empty our the water and wipe off clean after.
