Safe Use Guide

Comprehensive guide to safe use of Aromatic Treasures liquid soaps and essential oil perfumes, including product variants, application methods, patch testing, storage, allergen information, gc/ms reports and when to discontinue use.

At Aromatic Treasures, we believe that natural should also mean safe. This guide helps you get the most from our products while caring for your skin and wellbeing.

Our Products

We craft two core product lines:

• Liquid Soaps — plant-based Castile liquid soaps in seven variants: Pure Olive Oil, Pure Coconut Oil, Pure Shea Butter, Olive Oil + Coconut Oil, Olive Oil + Shea Butter, Coconut Oil + Shea Butter, and Olive Oil + Coconut Oil + Shea Butter. All variants are formulated at 5% superfat — meaning 5% of the oils remain unsaponified and stay on your skin after rinsing for extra nourishment.
• Essential Oil Perfumes — alcohol-free, skin-safe blends of Frankincense, Myrrh & Cedarwood in jojoba or sweet almond oil (roll-on and dropper formats) with optional Vanilla and Sandalwood additions.

Liquid Soaps — Safe Use

How to use

• Apply a small amount to wet hands or skin, lather, and rinse thoroughly
• Suitable for hands, body, and face (patch test recommended for facial use)
• Do not use undiluted on broken or severely irritated skin

Choosing the right variant

• Pure Olive Oil — our gentlest formula; ideal for reactive, sensitive, or baby skin
• Pure Coconut Oil — deep-cleansing with the richest natural lather; best for normal to oily skin
• Pure Shea Butter — intensely nourishing; ideal for dry, eczema-prone, or mature skin
• Olive Oil + Coconut Oil — balanced cleansing and moisture; great all-rounder
• Olive Oil + Shea Butter — gentlest two-oil formula; ideal for very dry or sensitive skin
• Coconut Oil + Shea Butter — rich lather with deep nourishment for dry to normal skin
• Olive Oil + Coconut Oil + Shea Butter — triple-oil formula; maximum moisture with effective cleansing

About our soap-making process

All our soaps are made using a dual-lye process — both KOH and NaOH are used during saponification. Both are fully consumed in the chemical reaction and are not present in the finished product.

Sensitive skin

• If you experience redness or irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist
• Patch test recommended for severe skin conditions

Eyes & mucous membranes

• Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water

Children

• Suitable for children over 3 years when used as directed
• Keep out of reach of young children to avoid ingestion

Storage & Shelf Life

• Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Shelf life: 12–18 months from date of manufacture when stored correctly

Essential Oil Perfumes — Safe Use

How to use (Roll-On)

• Apply directly to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind ears, inner elbows
• Do not apply to broken, irritated, or sunburned skin

How to use (Dropper)

• Place 1–2 drops onto fingertips and gently press onto pulse points
• Avoid rubbing vigorously — this breaks down the scent molecules

Patch test (always recommended)

1. Apply a small amount to the inner wrist or elbow
2. Leave for 24 hours without washing
3. If no redness, itching, or irritation occurs, the product is suitable for you

Children & pets

• Not recommended for children under 6 years
• Keep away from cats and dogs — many essential oils are toxic to pets

Storage & Shelf Life

• Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and light
• Shelf life: 12 months to 3 years from opening when stored correctly
