This particular Oakmoss has been extracted to have a low Atranol content, with below 100ppm, as a small percentage of people (around 5%) can have a skin sensitivity to this constituent.

*Note as this oil is so thick at room temperature, you will actually need to warm the glass bottle up to get it to a more mobile liquid state.  We suggest popping the oil into a waterproof bag and letting it sit in a warm water bath until the desired consistency is achieved.  It is best to quickly dilute this into other essential oils, carrier oils, or cream/balm mixes, before it starts to cool and thicken up again.

This oil is worth the small amount of time it will take to warm it up, as it is such an amazing 'faerie wood' scent.

Topical Application Information:

This essential oil is pure and undiluted, so if you wish to use it on your skin it will have to be diluted first. The general guide to using essential oils on your skin is that they should be diluted to a maximum of 3-5% in a carrier oil. 

Essential Oil Safety:

Always dilute essential oils before applying them to your skin as when undiluted they may cause skin irritations. It is always a good idea to do a small patch test somewhere like the back of your hand when using a new essential oil for the first time. 
DO NOT ingest essential oils. It is against the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Guidelines to suggest ingestion of essential oils in Australia. This is due to safety concerns around the harm an undiluted and highly concentrated essential oil can do when ingested. There are very few exceptions to this, which include a small number of essential oils allowed to be used in the food manufacturing industry in highly diluted amounts for flavouring and scent (such as Lavender and Peppermint), or when under the care of a qualified Naturopath or Aromatic Medicine Practitioner (holds recognised qualifications, and is a member of a Professional Association granting TGA exemptions).
It is always best to avoid using essential oils on or around your pets. Dogs process most essential oils similar to how humans do, and will usually not be bothered by most essential oils being diffused in a well ventilated space. Many dog shampoos and conditioners also contain essential oils. However we recommend you never leave a dog unsupervised in a room with an essential oil diffuser on. Cats do not tolerate essential oils and small amounts may be harmful, even using a diffuser in the same room may cause toxicity.
