  • Safety Information

    Considerations: Basil is quite a powerful essential oil in action and aroma intensity. A small number of drops should be sufficient.

     

    Is this safe for use during pregnancy?
    We do not recommend using Basil during pregnancy. Avoid using essential oils during the first trimester unless you are under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. See our full list of pregnancy safe oils in our FAQs.

     

    Is this safe for children?
    KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Basil essential oil should be avoided for use with babies and children as it is too stimulating. Essential oils are considered too strong for use on babies’ skin (0-24 months) and can be overwhelming on their developing systems. When using in a diffuser, use fewer drops then that for an adult (eg. 2-3 drops). See our ECO. Little range for appropriate, kid-friendly blends. Read more about Aromatherapy for Babies and Children and see our FAQ page for which essential oils to avoid.

     

    Is this safe to use around pets?
    Use this oil with caution around pets, never use topically and store bottles out of reach. If you have any concerns, please contact your vet. See our full list of pet safe oils in our FAQs.

     

    Can I ingest this oil?
    Essential oils should not be taken internally unless you have consulted with a health professional or Aromatherapist first.
