Can these oils be used on skin?

Only diluted. Mix a few drops into a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil. Tea tree and peppermint are strong and should stay well diluted, and do a patch test first.

Are these oils safe for pets?

Tea tree, eucalyptus and peppermint are risky around cats and dogs, especially in a diffuser. Keep the room ventilated and check with a vet before using them near pets.

Do they come in amber glass bottles?

Yes, each oil comes in a small amber bottle with a dropper-style cap, which protects the oils from light.

No. Mainstays lists the oils as all-natural, non-GMO and lab tested, but not certified organic.

Can I use them in a candle or wax warmer?

Yes, a few drops on melted wax or a diffuser pad works. Do not add them to candle wax while it is over direct heat.

How should I store them?

Keep the bottles capped, upright and out of sunlight in a cool spot. Citrus oils like orange fade faster than the others.
