Because essential oils are highly potent and concentrated care must be taken to use them safely at the correct dilutions and volumes. General safety points are given below. It is further recommended that you take time to learn about the uses, effects and potential side-effects of specific essential oils before purchasing and using them.

* Essential oils must never be given or taken internally except under the advice of a qualified health practitioner trained in the internal use of essential oils. Most will severely damage the lining of the digestive tract. All essential oils are potentially toxic if taken internally without qualified advice.

* Most essential oils must be avoided during pregnancy and throughout the breastfeeding period.

* Certain essential oils should not be used on the very young (under 2 years of age) and the very elderly, nor on pets. Some essential oils are not suitable for anyone with asthma, high blood pressure, epilepsy or diabetes. If in doubt, seek qualified advice before purchasing or using.

* Most essential oils cause mild to severe skin irritation if used neat (undiluted in base oil). They should not come into contact neat with the mucous membranes or the eyes. If you have sensitive skin or have allergies, or if you are unsure if an oil you want to use is suitable for you, carry out a patch test. Put a few drops of the oil in a base oil/cream/milk and apply a bit on the back of your wrist, cover with a plaster and leave for a number of hours. If irritation or redness occurs, bathe the area with cold water, and in future dilute the oil by half or avoid altogether.

These reactions are usually due to natural constituents in the oil that have been identified as allergens or sensitisers. This is such an important safety point that their use is regulated in the EU. Not all essential oils contain allergens while others contain them at various levels typical of the plant. For more information see the website of IFRA the International Fragrance Association. If you are making your own aromatherapy or cosmetics products containing essential oils to sell to the public you must submit to your safety assessor a copy of the IFRA allergen declaration for each essential oil in your recipe. You will also need to submit the MSDS (material safety data sheet). Both these documents are available from your essential oil supplier. 

* Some essential oils are phototoxic, i.e. cause skin pigmentation if applied to skin that is then exposed to sunlight. This particularly applies to the citrus oils, including Bergamot.

* When incorporating essential oils in recipes for making your own natural skin care products take care that the essential oils in question do not have an adverse synergetic effect when combined, and also do not exceed the amount stated in the recipe (normally less than 0.5% of the total recipe).

* Essential oils must be stored safely, in dark, glass bottles, out of reach of children and animals and away from heat. The bottles should be kept tightly closed at all times. When using, allow the bottle to remain open only for the time it takes to take the volume you need.

*Never transfer neat essential oils from glass containers to plastic, polished or painted containers.

* Use only pure essential oils and purchase them from a trustworthy source. Beware of anyone selling cheap essential oils. Under current EU law essential oil labelling should include the scientific name of the plant the oil is extracted from, country of origin, batch number, applicable hazard warnings and also indicate any constituent sensitisers/allergens.

* Do not dispose of unused essential oils down the drain, as even in small quantities some oils can harm aquatic organisms and damage sensitive micro-ecosystems.

* Some essential oils are flammable, so keep them away from naked flames and out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. If a bottle of oil has become very warm for whatever reason, allow it to cool naturally before opening it.

So in summary, essential oils are highly concentrated, potent plant extracts that must be handled and used with care. When treated with the important safety points given above in mind, and with the respect they deserve, they will provide you with great aromatic pleasure and therapeutic benefits for body, mind and soul.

We infuse our whole approach to life and business with the magic of gratitude. We give thanks to Nature's constant abundance, the sun and rain and air, the soil and its minerals and microorganisms and the mystery of growth. These allow the plants of many lands, together with their pollinating insects and other animals, to thrive and offer their amazing gifts of nourishment, healing and wellness to the world.

We are grateful to all those who take care of the plants, sowing the seed, nurturing and harvesting them, gently extracting their goodness for our use. After journeys through yet more caring hands that ensure best quality, this natural goodness finds its way into the Blooming Naturals products you use.

We give thanks to those who assist us, not only in the physical and technical side of running a business, but also in their sharing of stories and wisdom, energy and laughter, their beauty.

We give thanks to you, our customers old and new, for your support and trust and appreciation. Your concern for natural care for yourselves and those you are connected to inspires us.  We very much appreciate the time you take to express your joy in these products - creations of our hearts and hands - and for your permission to publish them here on our website. This is so important in honouring and helping to sustain the circle of exchange and gratitude that is the very basis of beauty and happiness.

Would you like to add your own expression of gratitude or feedback? The easiest way is simply to email it to us or place your words on our Facebook page. Thank you so much!

Kruiden Wonder Balm

"Mijn zoon Quin heeft constitutioneel ecezeem en ichthysis (visseschubbenhuid) vanaf dat hij 3 maanden oud was. We hebben vele wegen bewandeld. En hebben vele zalven en andere dingen geprobeerd. Soms dachten dat we het gevonden hadden. Maar helaas.
Op onze weg kwamen de wonder balsem tegen. We hebben voor het eerst echt resultaat. Ik moet eerlijk zijn. Ik was eerder erg sceptisch, want dit is de zoveelste keer dat we wat probeerden voor Quin.
Maar eerlijk is eerlijk. Zelfs de mensen om mij heen zien het resultaat. En zijn erg verbaast. Quin heeft nu voor het eerst een gaaf huidje op zijn gezicht (wat voorheen vol zat met witte huidschilfers). En zijn handjes zagen er uit als schilpaddenhuid en dat lijkt bijna op het handje van zijn zusje.
We hebben nog wel even te gaan. Maar het resultaat wat wij tot nu toe hebben hebben we eerder nog zeker niet gehad.
Daarom schrijf ik dit bericht. Iedereen moet zijn weg vinden hierin. Ik hoop dat dit voor jullie deze weg is".

Laura Heuvelmans

"Onze dochter heeft al twee jaar psoriasis op haar hoofdje en we hebben van alles geprobeerd! totdat we deze balsem gingen gebruiken! binnen 3 maanden was zij geheel schoon op haar hoofd! prachtig!"

Fluffy Bodyboter – Engelenhuidje

"Een heerlijke geur en een prettige textuur. Het enige jammere is dat de pot zo snel leeg is ;)"

Tiny de Haan

Calendula & Grapefruit Lippenbalsem

"Dit is een weldaad voor je lippen. De geur is niet overheersend en je hoeft veel minder vaak te smeren dan met een balsem van de bekendere merken".

Tiny de Haan
