I'm confused... Some reviewers are saying they use this oil undiluted - beneath noses, behind ears etc. True?

Yes, some customers use our oils undiluted. However, we warn against this because our oils are so concentrated, and can be harmful if misused. We recommend you speak with a licensed aromatherapist for more information on the proper use of our oils.

We do NOT recommend that you do this at all. This oil should be used on its own. thank you.

This is oil pressed from the carrot flesh, not the seed... and although I can't be certain, I believe it is undiluted since when I look at other oils from this company, for example, the rose oil... it says that it is infused in almond oil. I imagine the carrot oil would state something similar if it were anything other than the pure cold pressed oil from the carrot.

I would have to say that this oil is diluted with another oil. It is nice but at the price i was not under the impression that is was 100%

I haven't heard of this. I know that when It is used it is recommended that you wash your hands so you don't get it in your eyes or mouth. I would have to look into it more before doing this. Maybe contact the company.

I just emailed them and this is their response: 100% Pure Peppermint oil. Food grade. Considered Therapeutic grade by many companies. Top quality Peppermint and other Essential oils such as this are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of peppermint oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop with a carrier oils like olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil. Very little is required in most recipes. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly.

I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "Ingredients considered potentially hazardous are listed on the product label and on the MSDS. The unlisted ingredients are generally regarded as safe by the United States EPA. Unlisted ingredients are considered proprietary and are not generally disclosed. Complete formulation may be released directly to a doctor and/or medical authority when/if required. " To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You dilute it, just as you would this product concentrate. Neem oil is the only active ingredient here anyway. This way you do not have any undisclosed ingredients to deal with. I have obviously passed on purchasing this product.

The oils are not regulated by the FDA and I personally would not ingest them. They are wonderful for topical use or to diffuse.

I bought my oil from "Now Foods," on amazon. Yes, it is already diluted to 5%, which means 20 drops of this product is equivalent to 1 drop of undiluted rose oil. For my purposes, this is just fine. The fact that it is prediluted also means that it can be applied directly to the skin straight from the bottle, without any further dilution. Good stuff!

I checked the label and it says Oils is naturally hazy. By minimally processing the oil, they are able to retain more of the wonderful anti-oxidants like gamma-oryzanol that makes it wonderful. Nothing is said about the way it was processed.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I personally don't use it in a manner where that's even a concern, but if it was, I would contact the manufacturer or an Aromatherapist and ask them as everyone is different.

I think most oils are fine frozen-it would be overheating that would ruin it. Mine was pretty cold when it came, but still works like it should. It seems to be lightening my under eye circles, and it's the only oil I can put on my face that doesn't break me out.

Hi Rachel,They are not that grade of oil that is to be used topically on the body. Only in aromatherapy and cleaning things I believe.

I have tried 3 different brands of emu oil and all have had the same whitish color and thick yet runny consistency. I would venture to say it is undiluted.

I dont see anything like that on it. However i'm using it diluted in conjunction with othersubstances for a topical spray.By all accounts appears to be pure neem oil. Just not the superior cold pressed grade that would be suitable for facial and beauty applications,ideal for anything outside.

Either or. To stretch it out to make it last longer use a carrier. This is a safe oil to use without dilution, however it just depends on the sensitivity of your skin, as it does have a cooling effect.

It's a very strong oil. I dilute it 50:50 with a carrier oil and use it for rubbing on my head to alleviate a sinus headache. My husband says the smell lasts a long time. It can be overpowering to those around you....it would probably be good for them, though! :)
