Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas.

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

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 allergies, sensitive skin or a medical condition.
