Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about choosing and using products in this collection.

Are locally produced essential oils the same as pure essential oils?

They can be, but “locally produced” refers to where the oil is produced, not whether it is diluted or blended. It is best to check the product page for the exact product details.

Does locally produced mean the plants were also grown locally?

Not always. In some cases the plant material may be grown locally, but in others the focus may be on where the oil was distilled or produced. The product page should give the clearest guidance.

Are locally produced essential oils suitable for skincare and haircare products?

Some are used in skincare and haircare formulations, but they should be used at appropriate dilution levels. Always check the product guidance before adding them to a formula.

What does “locally produced essential oils” mean?

It means these essential oils are produced in South Africa. This may be helpful for customers who prefer locally sourced ingredients or want to support local production.

Can I use locally produced essential oils in a diffuser?

Many can be used in diffusers, but it is still important to check the intended use on the product page. Different oils vary in aroma strength and application.
