Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?
Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.
Can pregnant women use essential oils?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, as they can affect hormones and the impact on the baby during development is not well understood.
What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?
Essential oils are extracted from parts of plants, are entirely natural, and have therapeutic properties. In contrast, synthetic fragrances are created in a lab and contain artificial components.
How can I ensure that the essential oil is pure?
Scent.vn works directly with reputable global partners, inspecting their facilities and sourcing regions to ensure authenticity. We also conduct GCMS tests on each product to verify its components and quality.
