Safety Guidelines:
• Dilute before topical use. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted with a carrier oil to avoid skin irritation.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive areas.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
• Do not ingest essential oils unless directed by a certified aromatherapist or healthcare provider.
• Store in a cool, dark place to preserve quality and potency.
• These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Essential oils can enhance your well-being when used properly - please use them responsibly and enjoy their benefits as part of a balanced, natural lifestyle.

Shelf Life Guidelines:
At Saffron Herb Co., our essential oils are 100% pure and undiluted, which means their longevity depends on storage and oil type. 

• Citrus oils (e.g., Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit): 1–2 years
• Most essential oils (e.g., Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus): 3–4 years
• Resinous or woody oils (e.g., Frankincense, Patchouli, Sandalwood): 6+ years

To preserve the quality and extend the life of your oils:
• Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat
• Avoid contamination by not touching the dropper to skin or surfaces

Essential oils don’t "expire" in the traditional sense, but over time, they can oxidize and lose their aroma or effectiveness. Always use your senses - if the scent has changed noticeably, it may be time to refresh your supply.
