In this highly educational episode, I sit down with the creator and owner of Nourish The Dermis, Melissa Martinez, for an anticipated chat regarding ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY. Melissa is also a certified aromatherapist and specializes in customizable, clean skincare, and she and I have an incredibly helpful and balanced conversation surrounding this controversial topic. 

  • What exactly are EOs?
  • Why does oil quality matter?
  • What are the best application methods?
  • How do I dilute them?
  • Safety and Prevention
  • Is diffusing EOs harmless?
  • What do I do if I have a reaction?
  • How to take a conservative approach to using EOs
  • What about pet safety?
  • Can I use with my baby or my child?
  • Contraindications for use

You will gain enough insight to make well-informed choices for you and your family, as the power should always be in your hands at the end of the day. Please see below for further resources!
