When blending essential oils, consider individual sensitivities and test for skin compatibility. Bergamot FCF, although less phototoxic, can still cause skin irritation in some individuals. Always dilute properly and conduct a patch test before widespread use, especially on skin exposed to sunlight. Adjust ratios to achieve the desired fragrance intensity.
**When using essential oils, it's crucial to prioritize safety. Always dilute essential oils properly before applying them to the skin, typically using a carrier oil. Perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions before widespread use.
Keep essential oils away from eyes and sensitive areas. Store them in a cool, dark place, out of reach of children and pets. Pregnant or nursing individuals, as well as those with specific health conditions, should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils.
Never ingest essential oils without proper guidance from a qualified practitioner, and always follow recommended dilution ratios and usage guidelines for each oil.**
