Common Questions

A little post to answer some of the common questions I get asked regarding quality, therapeutic grade, certified organic oils etc.

- Yes the essential oils I sell on my website are for therapeutic use. They can be used topically, in skin care preparations, for diffusion and inhalation etc.

- It is against professional practice to recommend in Australia the ingestion of essential oils unless qualified as an Aromatic Medicine Practitioner. I will not tell you if any of my oils can be ingested or not, regardless of brand.

- Simply put, the term 'therapeutic grade' is actually just a registered trademark that you may have heard being used by a particular essential oil supplier. This just basically means that other companies can not actually use this term when advertising their essential oils.

- Regardless if the term used is 'therapeutic grade' or not, essential oils should not be ingested unless prescribed by someone who is qualified in advanced aromatic medicine.

- I am qualified as a certified clinical aromatherapist but this still does not mean that I will recommend the ingestion of essential oils.

- I will not prescribe essential oils via this website to treat your medical conditions. As a professional I will not prescribe essential oils unless a full aromatherapy consultation has taken place.

- My website is purely a retail store for aromatherapy supplies and detailed consultations are not available at this time. I am hoping this will become an option in the near future. Unfortunately I can not answer questions via email or Facebook regarding which essential oils should be used to treat medical conditions. Please seek medical advice before using any essential oils purchased from this website.

- 'Certified Organic' means the oils have been certified to have been grown & produced free of pesticides, fertilizers etc. I sell Australian certified organic oils on my website. This again does not make any difference in whether I recommend they can be ingested or not.

- MSDS sheets (Material Safety Data Sheets) can be supplied upon request for 'Aromatherapy For Australia' essential oils. Please email me via my website the name of the essential oil you are interested in purchasing.

I hope this makes sense and answers some of your questions.

12 Essential Oils For Skin Care

1 - Rose 
Rose essential oil has been used in beauty treatments for thousands of years. It is commonly found in skin care products due to it's amazing emollient properties and benefits for dry skin. Studies have shown that rose essential oil helps to reduce the stress hormone cortisol and therefore has a positive impact on the skin. Although expensive, only a couple of drops of this wonderful oil is needed. A little goes a long way! When added to skin care preparations, rose oil helps the skin to absorb more nutrients. Rose essential oil has strong antimicrobial properties that make it great for acne. Rose hydrosol is well known for being a fantastic skin toner. SHOP > 

2 - Tea Tree
Tea Tree essential oil is commonly known for it's use in natural acne treatments. It's antibacterial and antifungal properties are proven to be as effective an benzoyl peroxide, but without the harsh side effects. Tea Tree has exceptional healing qualities that make it a great oil for cleansing and repairing the skin from minor cuts and abrasions. SHOP >

3 - Carrot Seed

Carrot seed oil helps to smooth and rejuvinate the skin with it's cell regenerating properties. It has been proven to fade scars and improve the signs of aging skin. Carrot seed oil also helps to heal eczema, dermatitis and other rashes and skin irritations. SHOP > 

4 - Lavender
Lavender essential oil is a versatile oil that is perfect for all skin types. Another oil that is great for combating the effects that stress can have on the skin. Lavender is a healing oil that helps  reduce acne, it is soothing, calming and helps to ease redness and other skin irritations. Lavender is also great for healing dry or sunburnt skin. SHOP >  

5 - Myrrh
Myrrh essential oil has been used for thousands of years in traditional healing. Myrrh is one of the top essential oils for skin rejuvenation and will help with dull, dry and dehydrated skin. It is especially important for use on older and mature skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that help improve skin tone, elasticity and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. SHOP > 

6 - Lemon
Lemon essential oil is known for being a natural astringent & detoxifier. It has antibacterial properties which is extremely beneficial to those with oily and acne-prone complexions. It also helps tone the skin and reduce the appearance of pores. Lemon essential oil can help brighten skin by removing dead skin cells and creating a fresh clear complexion. (Note: Please do not apply lemon essential oil to the skin 48 hours before going out in the sun.) SHOP > 

7 - Ylang Ylang

Ylang Ylang essential oil is versatile for both dry and oily skin. It can help to preserve the signs of aging and give the skin a 'youthful glow'. This incredibly luxurious oil has been trusted for centuries for beautifying the skin. SHOP > 

8 - Geranium

Geranium is another extremely versatile oil that is suitable for all skin types. It is a great healing oil that can be used to help prevent and reduce scarring and stretch marks. It also helps to tighten sagging and loose skin and also reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Geranium also helps regulate oil production and reduces acne breakouts. It is by far one of my favourite oils to use in skin care preparations. SHOP >

9 - Sandalwood

Sandalwood essential oil is another luxurious oil commonly found in skin preparations like soaps , lotions & aftershave. Sandalwood has a list of benefits which include helping soften skin by increasing it's ability to retain moisture, relieving rashes and irritation and helping to fade scar tissue. SHOP > 

10 - Patchouli

Whilst the scent of Patchouli is not everyone's cup of tea it is quite a versatile essential oil that is suitable for most skin types. Because it also has antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, it can also benefit skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne. Patchouli helps to promotes new cell growth and smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on aged skin. It can also help improve the appearance of chapped or dry skin. SHOP > 

11 - Helichrysum

Helichrysum is also known as everlasting essential oil. It is a wonderful healing oil that helps regenerate skin tissue and fade scars, to reveal a more vibrant complexion. It is moisturising and will help heal cracked and dry skin. Helichrysum is regarded as the perfect addition to skin care formulations for those with sensitive skin, since it’s so calming and soothing. It is suitable for eczema, dermatitis and other skin irritations as it won’t exacerbate the condition, but will help fade redness and soothe dryness. SHOP > 

12 - Neroli

Neroli essential oil is great for oily, sensitive, and mature skin. Neroli essential oil helps to stimulate cell growth and rejuvenate and regenerate the skin. This luxurious oil can help reduce unsightly stretch marks and broken capillaries on the skin, plus also prevents scarring. SHOP >

Please see the chart below for more oils that can be of benefit when used in a skin care regime.

---------------------------
PRECAUTIONS: Always dilute essential oils before applying to the skin. Essential oils are recommended to be added to our base products or carrier oils at a 0.1% to 2.5% concentration. For many skin care applications, a 1% concentration is sufficient.

Citrus Oils are phototoxic and should not be applied if going out in the sun within 48 hours. They can possibly cause skin pigmentation and irritation.

It is recommended to do a patch test before application when trying out new essential oils or if you have had skin sensitivities in the past.
