For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Never apply undiluted Spearmint Essential Oil directly to the skin.

Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Spearmint Oil contains concentrated natural fragrance constituents that may cause irritation or allergic sensitisation in susceptible individuals. Spearmint has been identified in European scientific documentation as a fragrance material associated with contact-allergy considerations.

Avoid contact with the eyes, face, inner ears, nostrils, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Do not apply to broken, inflamed, freshly shaved or highly sensitive skin. Discontinue use if redness, burning, itching or discomfort occurs.

Do not apply on or near the face, nose, chest or neck of infants and young children. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, while taking medication or if you have asthma, allergies, sensitive skin or another medical condition.

Use diffusers intermittently in a spacious, well-ventilated room. Allow children and pets to move away from the aromatic area.

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, sparks and open flames.
