Wintergreen (Nepalese) Oil

Fresh, sweet and intensely aromatic, Forest Clay Wintergreen Essential Oil offers a distinctive minty, medicinal fragrance with cool, woody and subtly sweet undertones. Steam-distilled from wintergreen leaves, it is ideal for invigorating diffuser blends, natural perfumery, home fragrance, and professionally formulated massage and body-care products.

Wintergreen Oil is naturally rich in methyl salicylate and is exceptionally concentrated. Only a minimal amount should be used, and topical applications require professional formulation and an appropriate product safety assessment.

For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest. Wintergreen Oil contains a high concentration of methyl salicylate, a salicylate related to aspirin. Even a small swallowed quantity may cause serious poisoning, particularly in children. Keep the bottle locked away and completely out of their reach. Never apply undiluted Wintergreen Essential Oil directly to the skin. Direct do-it-yourself topical use is not recommended. Finished cosmetic products must comply with product-specific concentration limits and undergo an appropriate safety assessment. European scientific assessments establish different permitted methyl-salicylate concentrations according to product type and age group. Do not use on infants or children. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically approved by a qualified medical professional. People with an allergy or sensitivity to aspirin, salicylates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines should avoid this oil. Seek medical advice before use if taking anticoagulant, antiplatelet or other blood-thinning medication; if you have a bleeding disorder; or before surgery. Avoid contact with the eyes, face, nostrils, inner ears, mucous membranes and sensitive areas. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, freshly shaved or damaged skin. Do not use with heating pads, hot-water bottles, tight bandages or occlusive coverings. Do not apply over large areas of the body. Use diffusers intermittently in a spacious, well-ventilated room. Discontinue use immediately if irritation, nausea, dizziness, headache, ringing in the ears, breathing discomfort or another adverse reaction occurs. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place away from heat, sparks and open flames.
