Directions for Use
For Aromatherapy: Add 2–4 drops to a diffuser filled with the manufacturer-recommended amount of water. Begin with a small quantity because Vetiver Oil has a rich and persistent aroma.

For Meditation: Diffuse alone or blend with Frankincense, Myrrh or Sandalwood during meditation, yoga, prayer or quiet reflection. For Topical Use: Dilute 1–2 drops in 5–10 ml of a suitable carrier oil before applying to the skin. For Facial Care: Add 1 drop to 10–15 ml of jojoba, rosehip, argan or another suitable facial carrier oil. Apply sparingly to clean skin after performing a patch test. For Hair and Scalp Care: Add 1–2 drops to 15 ml of coconut, jojoba, argan or another suitable carrier oil. Massage gently into the scalp and wash thoroughly after the desired application time. For Massage: Add 3–5 drops to 30 ml of sweet almond, jojoba, fractionated coconut or another suitable carrier oil. For Personal Fragrance: Add 1–2 drops to 10 ml of jojoba oil or an appropriate perfume base. Apply sparingly to pulse points after performing a patch test. For Bath Use: Mix 1–2 drops thoroughly with a prepared bath base or suitable cosmetic solubiliser before adding to warm bathwater. Never add undiluted essential oil directly to the bath. For Natural Perfumery: Use sparingly as a deep, earthy base note in perfumes, attars, colognes, roll-on fragrances and incense-inspired compositions. When the Oil Thickens: Vetiver Oil is naturally viscous and may become thicker at cooler temperatures. Warm the tightly closed bottle gently between your hands or place it briefly in lukewarm water.

Cautions & Safe Use
For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Never apply undiluted Vetiver Essential Oil directly to the skin. Always dilute appropriately and perform a patch test before first use. Naturally occurring aromatic constituents may cause irritation or allergic sensitisation in susceptible individuals. Avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, nostrils, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, freshly shaved or highly sensitive skin. Cosmetic and perfumery applications should follow the supplier’s current Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet, allergen declaration and applicable IFRA usage limits. 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. Use diffusers intermittently in a spacious, well-ventilated area. Allow children and pets to move away from the aroma. The naturally dark and concentrated oil may stain pale fabrics, clothing or porous surfaces. Discontinue use if redness, itching, irritation, headache or discomfort occurs. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, sparks and open flames.
