Precautions:

• Always dilute pure essential oils prior to application therapy to avoid skin irritation
and always avoid eye area.
o Children under 2 years of age: application therapy not recommended due to
their delicate skin and precautions suggested when diffused around infants.
o Children 2 to 6 years of age: dilution rate of 0.5%, 2-3 drops of essential oil
per 1 ounce of carrier oil.
o Children 6 – 12 years of age: dilution rate of 1%, 5 drops of essential oil per 1
ounce of carrier oil.
o Children over 12 years of age and adults: 2-3% dilution rate, 10-15 drops
essential oil per ounce of carrier oil.
• Not for internal use unless they are prescribed by your health care provider and
certified aroma therapist. 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils are 70-100%
more potent than the herb itself and improperly ingesting them can burn the
esophagus, stomach and intestinal lining. Essential oils also break down during the
digestion process, making them less effective as application or inhalation therapy.
• Keep essential oils out of the reach of children and all pets.
• These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
• These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

Disclaimer: Our oils are either USDA Certified Organic or Wildcrafted and therapeutic
grade quality. None of the oils have been diluted or synthetically altered. The Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has not evaluated these essential oils. These products are not
intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. As with all essential oils keep out
of the reach of children and animals. Use precaution when using in the presence of infants.
This guide is intended to be a resource for our independent sales consultants and their
customers. It is not intended as an online advertisement; the FTC does not allow any
medical claims for essential oils.

Purity of Essential Oils:

In GC-MS testing, a mass spectrometer is attached to a gas chromatograph. The essential

oil molecules that emerge are subject to high-energy electrons, which separate out the
individual components. This allows scientists to identify the individual component by
comparing it to the molecular mass spectrum of the essential oil. All our essential oils
have been GC-MS tested and copies of those tests may be obtained by request from our
home office.

The FDA organic certification data is also available by request to the home office for all
the individual essential oils that we sell.

Phototoxicity:

Using phototoxic essential oils in a product, such as Prebiotic Foaming Liquid Soap or
Prebiotic Body Wash (as long as you wash them off after applying) will not put you at risk
for phototoxicity. It’s only when they remain on the skin during skin exposure.
Phototoxicity is when skin becomes irritated in the presence of sunlight because of
substances applied prior to sun exposure.

Here is a list of essential oils along with the maximum number of drops allowed per ounce
of carrier oil before they will cause phototoxic reactions:

• Bergamot – 1 drop
• Bitter Orange – 8 drops
• Grapefruit – 24 drops
• Lemon (cold pressed) – 12 drops
• Lime (cold pressed) 4 drops

Instructions for using Lemongrass Spa’s glass vials to dispense oil mixtures:
Place 2-3 drops of essential oil into the glass vial. Fill vial with fractionated coconut oil. Put
roller ball onto vial, snap it tight, then shake well and apply to desired area of skin. Secure
the cap and store oil at room temperature.

Suggested blends:

Allergy relief: 1 drop Lemon + 1 drop Lavender + 1 drop Peppermint in vial; top off with
coconut oil and apply to pulse points.

Blemishes and insect bites: 2 drops Tea Tree + 2 drops Lavender, top off with coconut oil
and apply to affected area.

Headache relief: Blend 3 drops Mint Revival Blend Essential Oil with coconut oil for on-
the-go applications. For children over the age of 6, use Peppermint alone instead of Mint
Revival Blend.

! 10!
Mixing Essential Oils with Lemongrass Spa Products:
Adding essential oils to Unscented Prebiotic Foaming Liquid Soap:

• Add 5 – 6 drops of your favorite essential oil to an 8 oz. bottle of foaming soap for a
mellow, lightly scented soap. TIP: Use caution when adding oils; if you add too much
essential oil, it can discolor soap and cause it to become thin and separate. Adding
Lemon Oil will cause a substantial reduction in foaming consistency; citrus oils
naturally reduce foam in soap.

Adding essential oils to Unscented Body Crème, Body Icing or Lotion:

• Add about 5 drops of your favorite essential oil to a 6 oz. jar of Unscented Body
Crème or Body Icing. Blend well with spoon and apply to skin.
• Add about 6 drops of your favorite essential oil to an 8 oz. bottle of Unscented
Hand & Body Lotion. Shake well and apply to skin. TIP: Works well if the bottle of
lotion (closed lid) is warmed up in a hot water bath before blending. We don’t
recommend microwaving our products.
• Add about 6 drops of your favorite essential oil to an 8 oz. jar of Unscented Body
Polish; blend well with a spoon. We do not recommend applying Immune Boost
Blend onto skin unless diluted substantially because of the Cinnamon and Clove
contained in it.

FDA Guidelines Regarding Essential Oils:

Taken from directly from the FDA website -

http://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/productsingredients/products/ucm127054.htm

You may see fragrance products, such as “essential oils,” marketed with “aromatherapy”
claims that they will treat health problems or improve well-being. Who regulates these
products, and how? Find answers here:

What's the "intended use"?

Under the law, how “aromatherapy” products are regulated depends mainly on how they
are intended to be used.

FDA determines a product’s intended use based on factors such as claims made in the
labeling, on websites, and in advertising, as well as what consumers expect it to do. We
also look at how a product is marketed, not just a word or phrase taken out of context.
Finally, we make decisions on a case-by-case basis.

Is it a cosmetic?

If a product is intended only to cleanse the body or to make a person more attractive, it’s
a cosmetic. So, if a product such as a shower gel is intended only to cleanse the body, or a
perfume or cologne is intended only to make a person smell good, it’s a cosmetic.

! 11!
The law doesn’t require cosmetics to have FDA approval before they go on the market.
But FDA can take action against a cosmetic on the market if we have reliable information
showing that it is unsafe when consumers use it according to directions on the label, or in
the customary or expected way, or if it is not labeled properly. To learn more, see “FDA
Authority Over Cosmetics.”

Is it a drug?

If a product is intended for a therapeutic use, such as treating or preventing disease, or to

affect the structure or function of the body, it’s a drug. For example, claims that a product
will relieve colic, ease pain, relax muscles, treat depression or anxiety, or help you sleep
are drug claims.

Such claims are sometimes made for products such as soaps, lotions, and massage oils
containing “essential oils” and marketed as “aromatherapy.” The fact that a fragrance
material or other ingredient comes from a plant doesn’t keep it from being regulated as a
drug.

Under the law, drugs must meet requirements such as FDA approval for safety and
effectiveness before they go on the market. To find out if a product marketed with drug
claims is FDA-approved, contact FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER),
at druginfo@fda.hhs.gov. To learn more, see Drugs.

Is it both a cosmetic and a drug?

Some products are both cosmetics and drugs. For example, a baby lotion marketed with
claims that it both moisturizes the baby’s skin and relieves colic would be both a cosmetic
and a drug. Such products must meet the requirements for both cosmetics and drugs.

To learn more, see “Cosmetics Q&A: ‘Personal Care Products’” and “Is It a Cosmetic, a
Drug, or Both? (or Is It Soap?).”

Is it something else?

Some fragrance products are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC). These include products such as air fresheners, scented candles, laundry
detergents, and household cleansers.

If an “essential oil” or other fragrance is “natural” or “organic,” doesn’t that mean it’s safe?

Sometimes people think that if an “essential oil” or other ingredient comes from a plant, it
must be safe. But many plants contain materials that are toxic, irritating, or likely to cause
allergic reactions when applied to the skin.

For example, cumin oil is safe in food, but can cause the skin to blister. Certain citrus oils
used safely in food can also be harmful in cosmetics, particularly when applied to skin
exposed to the sun.

! 12!
FDA doesn’t have regulations defining “natural” or “organic” for cosmetics. All cosmetic
products and ingredients must meet the same safety requirement, regardless of their
source. To learn more, see “’Organic’ Cosmetics” and “FDA’s Poisonous Plant Database.”

Who regulates advertising claims?

While FDA regulates labeling for cosmetics and drugs, advertising claims are regulated by
the Federal Trade Commission.
