- Is this oil already diluted?
- No. It is sold as a pure essential oil, so dilute it in a carrier oil before putting it on skin. A few drops in a diffuser is the simplest use.
- How does it smell?
- Warm, sweet and lightly spicy, close to crushed cardamom pods. It is softer and less sharp than clove or cinnamon oil.
- Can I use it on my skin directly?
- Not straight from the bottle. Mix a small number of drops into jojoba, almond or another carrier oil, and patch-test first.
- How many drops should I add to a diffuser?
- Start with two or three drops in a diffuser and adjust. Cardamom is strong, and too much can overpower a room.
- Does it come with a dropper?
- The bottle has a dropper-style cap for counting drops. Check the listing photos for the exact cap on the size you order.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright and away from sunlight and heat. Citrus and spice oils fade faster than resinous ones, so use it within a year or so of opening.
- Where is the Deve Herbes Pure Cardamom Essential Oil 10 ml cheapest?
- At Distacart, for $27.95, as of our latest check.
