Some essential oils will feel hot or cold when applied to the skin. Be sure to test for sensitivity before applying to the skin. Please read the rest of these PRECAUTIONS and HOW TO SKIN TEST before you use this product for the first time. DO NOT COMBINE THIS PRODUCT WITH OTHER TRANSDERMAL THERAPY or ESSENTIAL OILS. DO NOT APPLY THIS AND OTHER ESSENTIAL OILS TO DEEP PUNCTURE WOUNDS. Although some essential oils are safe for consumption, Raphael's Light is NOT FOR INTERNAL USE. The benefits of using this and other essential oil products are most significant when absorbed transdermally (through the skin.) KEEP PRODUCT CLOSED TIGHTLY AND OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Essential oils are just as effective for children as they are for adults, however a child's skin may be more sensitive than an adult. Always perform a SKIN TEST and if necessary, dilute the product with pure vegetable oil or massage oil prior to use on children. Never use on a child younger than 30 months old. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT. Although used in small quantities, some essential oils are photosensitive and may cause skin rash or pigmentation changes when worn in direct sunlight. DO NOT APPLY in or near mucous membranes – eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc. When reduced, it is safe to use essential oils near or around the ear, but not in the ear. If burning occurs in the eyes or on the skin DO NOT FLUSH WITH WATER. Water drives the oils deeper into skin tissue. Dilute the area with vegetable oil such as Canola, Corn, or Olive Oil. If you wear contact lenses, special care should be taken with this product. Although used in small quantities, some of the essential oils have a high phenol content and may cause sticking problems or may damage the surface of the lenses during direct contact. Always wash your hands thoroughly after use of this product or before handling contact lenses and other optical plastics. It may be safest to remove contact lenses prior to handling or using this product. PREGNANCY: Consult your health care practitioner before using this and other essential oils if you are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant. ALLERGIC REACTIONS: If redness, burning, itching or irritation occurs, stop using immediately. SKIN TEST this and all essential oils for sensitivity before use. Many people who are sensitive or allergic to synthetic fragrances WILL NOT be sensitive to pure essential oils. If you have skin allergies, DO NOT add essential oils to your bath water without performing a SKIN TEST first. Although reduced with a carrier oil, some of the essential oils in this product have a HIGH PHENOL content and should be stored only in a glass or approved container. To retain maximum effectiveness this product should be stored in a cool, dark area, away from high temperatures and direct sunlight. NOT FOR USE ON ANIMALS. Some Essential Oils are TOXIC TO CATS and other small animals. |
