Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What are pure dried botanicals used for?

Pure dried botanicals are commonly used in DIY skincare, haircare, bath products, soap making, and herbal crafting. Some may also be used in other applications, but always check the product page for the intended use.

Are these botanicals ready to use straight from the pack?

Many can be used as they are, depending on how you want to use them. Some can be added straight to a blend or infusion, while others may need soaking, straining, or grinding first.

How should I store pure dried botanicals after opening?

Keep them tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Good storage helps maintain their quality, colour, and aroma for longer.

Can I blend different dried botanicals together?

Yes, many people combine botanicals for DIY projects and custom blends. It helps to choose botanicals with similar intended uses and to check that each one suits your planned application.

Are all pure dried botanicals food safe or suitable for tea?

Do not assume so. Even when a botanical is pure and dried, the product page should clearly confirm whether it is suitable for food-related use.
