Geranium Essential Oil Safety Data Sheet

Cautions

• Keep essential oils out of the reach of children at all times.
• Never remove a fixed dropper from a bottle of essential oil.
• Do not apply directly to the skin without professional advice.
• Do not ingest without professional advice. If oil is accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical assistance. 
• Do not exceed stated doses. 
• If splashed in the eyes, dab gently with olive oil on cotton wool. Water does NOT carry or dissolve essential oil. 
• Remove essential oil from the hands by washing thoroughly with a mild detergent. This prevents transference to other parts of the body.
• Do not assume that essential oils have the same properties as the plant from which it has been derived

How to Use

Essential oils are very powerful and should be used with caution. Here are a few tips that you may find useful, although we advise that you consult a fully qualified, registered aromatherapist who will be able to advise you on the safe methods of use. Why not give us a ring at 01455 251020 or email [email protected] if you are unsure we will be happy to help.

Inhalation
Undiluted essential oils may be inhaled from a tissue or a pillow (4-6 drops). Alternatively, they can be inhaled from a bowl of hot water (3 or 4 drops) or a diffuser (see table below), but avoid this if asthmatic. Never inhale essential oils directly from the bottle.

Shampoo and Bath Foam
Create unique aromatherapy bath foams or shampoos by mixing up to 30 drops of your own essential oil blend into 100ml of a suitable bath foam base or shampoo base.

Skincare Cream
Essential oils can be added to vegetable-based creams and then developed into facial products or topical creams. Do not add more than 15 drops of essential oil to 50ml of your base cream.

Pregnancy
Essential oils are best avoided during the first months of pregnancy. After the third month, many oils can be used safely and effectively. If in doubt, always consult a qualified aromatherapist. Find out more in our blog, Aromatherapy & Pregnancy
