Bandit's Oil Essential Oil Blend

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with care. Keep away from children. For external use only. Do not apply undiluted oil to skin. Flammable.

For diffusion, follow diffuser instructions. For topical use, always dilute with carrier oil; do not exceed 1.25% or 12 drops per ounce.

HOW DOES AROMATHERAPY WORK?

Aromatherapy harnesses the power of essential oils to enhance well-being by stimulating the senses. Inhalation of these natural scents affects the brain’s limbic system, influencing mood and emotions, while topical application allows the oils to penetrate the skin and provide therapeutic benefits. This holistic approach supports relaxation, mental clarity, and physical health through the natural properties of plant extracts.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential Oils are oils that are derived from botanicals or plants via steam distillation or cold press process.

ARE ESSENTIAL OILS INGESTIBLE?

Unless advised by a licensed practitioner, essential oils should not be taken internally as many oils contain compounds that are harmful when ingested; there is minimal scientific evidence of the beneficial effects of internal consumption of essential oils.

CAN I APPLY ESSENTIAL OILS DIRECTLY ON MY SKIN?

No, we do not recommend any essential oil be applied directly (a.k.a "neat") to the skin. They are powerful concentrated oils and are designed to be either diffused, diluted in carrier oils or be incorporated into our finished products. When diluting in a carrier oil, please follow dermal use recommendations.

WHAT IS A CARRIER OIL?

A carrier oil (or massage oil / body oil) is used to dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin in massage and aromatherapy. They are so named because they "carry" the essential oil onto the skin. Diluting essential oils is a critical safety practice when using essential oils, as essential oils are powerful, concentrated volatile oils. Carrier oils alone do not contain a concentrated aroma, unlike essential oils, though some, such as olive, have a mild distinctive smell. Our Carrier Oil Blend is a wonderful way to apply your favorite essential oils to your skin, but works well as a fragrance-free massage oil as well.

WHAT DOES “DERMAL USE LIMIT” OR “MAXIMUM DERMAL DOSE” MEAN?

This is the maximum recommended percentage for topical use. Our dermal use limits are based on a maximum single day products application of 30ml (which is equivalent to 1 ounce.) While our recommended maximum concentration limits are based on the best science available, anyone can be sensitive or allergic to any substance, including essential oils. If you notice any irritation or other adverse reaction to topically applied essential oil and carrier oil blends, please discontinue use immediately. Patients who are using other topically applied medication should use separate areas of skin for essential oils and other medications.


HOW DID BANDIT'S OIL GET ITS NAME?

The name Bandit's Oil comes from a medieval legend of four French bandits robbing the dead and dying during the time of bubonic plague. According to the legend, to protect themselves from catching the plague themselves, they covered their mouths with rags doused in a secret recipe vinegar solution with various special herbs. Upon capture, the bandits offered up the recipe to avoid a harsh sentence. While they may not have received leniency, history has received the legendary recipe told through generations. Bandit's Oil is our take on this recipe.
