Dilution Guidelines of using Lavender Essential Oil:

General dilution guidelines for essential oils suggest using 1-2 drops of essential oil per 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil for everyday use, which equals a 1-2% dilution for adults. For sensitive skin or children, a 0.5-1% dilution is recommended, with 1 drop per 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of carrier oil. Always do a patch test first and avoid using undiluted oils on the skin.

Precautions:

·       Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin (like your inner wrist) to check for any sensitivity or allergic reactions before using Vitamin E Essential Oil more widely.

·       Use with Caution for Pregnant or Nursing Women: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before using any essential oils, including Vitamin E.

·       Avoid Direct Eye Contact: Keep Vitamin E oil away from your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

·       Dilution: Always dilute Essential oil with a carrier oil (such as almond, coconut, or jojoba oil) to avoid skin irritation.

·       Patch Test: Before applying it to your face or large areas of skin, perform a patch test on a small area of your body (like the inside of your wrist) to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.

·       Avoid Eye Area: If you're using pure Vitamin E oil, be cautious when applying it near the eyes, as it can cause irritation for some people. For the delicate skin around the eyes, look for formulations specifically designed for that area.
