Skincare Warning: Essential Oils Usage

At Alchemy7, we are dedicated to creating skincare products that promote radiant and healthy skin. Some of our skincare products may contain essential oils, which are known for their natural aromatic qualities and potential skin benefits. However, it's important to be informed about essential oil usage in skincare:

Patch Testing:

  • Before using any new skincare product, especially if it contains essential oils, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of skin, such as the inside of your wrist or elbow.
  • Wait 24-48 hours to check for any adverse reactions, such as redness, itching, or irritation. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use immediately.

Skin Sensitivities:

  • Essential oils are highly concentrated and potent. While they offer potential benefits, they can also cause skin sensitivities or allergic reactions in some individuals.
  • If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin allergies, consider consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional before using products containing essential oils.

Photosensitivity:

  • Some essential oils, such as citrus oils (e.g., bergamot, lemon, lime, and grapefruit), can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation from the sun. This may increase the risk of sunburn or skin damage.
  • If your skincare product contains photosensitive essential oils, use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using the product and for up to 24 hours after.

Pregnancy and Medical Conditions:

  • If you are pregnant, nursing, or have any underlying medical conditions, consult with your healthcare provider before using skincare products infused with essential oils. Some essential oils may not be suitable during pregnancy or for specific medical conditions.

Children and Pets:

  • Keep skincare products containing essential oils out of the reach of children and pets. Children's skin is often more sensitive than adults', and essential oils should be used with caution around them.

Storage:

  • Store skincare products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage helps preserve the quality and effectiveness of the product.

By using Alchemy7 skincare products, you are embracing natural ingredients that can contribute to your skin's health and appearance. We encourage you to prioritize safety, be mindful of your skin's unique needs, and consult with a healthcare professional when necessary to ensure a positive skincare experience.
