Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?
No, pure essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts. Applying them directly to the skin can cause irritation or sensitivity. You must dilute them with a carrier oil such as Jojoba, Sweet Almond, or Rosehip oil before applying them to your skin. (Example ratio: 5-10 drops of essential oil to 50 ml of carrier oil).
2. Can essential oils be ingested?
At Polente Natural, we do not recommend the oral (internal) use of essential oils. Our products are for cosmetic and aromatherapy purposes.
3. How can you tell if essential oils have gone bad?
Pure essential oils have a long shelf life when stored correctly. However, if you notice a souring in the scent, a significant darkening in color, or a thickening (stickiness) in consistency, your oil may have oxidized. We recommend storing our products in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, with the cap closed.
4. Can pregnant women and babies use essential oils?
Pregnancy and infancy are very sensitive periods. Some essential oils (e.g., peppermint, rosemary, sage) may not be recommended during these times. We strongly advise consulting your doctor before use and keeping the dosage very low. Lavender oil is generally known as one of the safest options, but expert approval is essential.
5. What is the difference between an essential oil and a fragrance oil?
The most important difference is naturalness. Essential Oils are 100% natural extracts obtained from plants through distillation and have therapeutic (healing) effects. Fragrance Oils, on the other hand, are usually synthetic scents produced in laboratories; they only provide fragrance but do not possess the healing properties of the plant. Polente Natural products are 100% pure essential oils.
