What should I do if I get too much essential oil on my skin?

If too much essential oil is applied to the skin, it’s important to act quickly to gently dilute and remove it, helping to reduce the risk of irritation.

Here’s what to do:

• Wash the area promptly using an oil-based soap, such as olive oil soap or Marseille soap, to help break down the essential oil.

• Apply a neutral carrier oil (such as mineral oil) and leave it on for 2 to 5 minutes, then wipe it off. Repeat 2–3 times if needed.

Avoid using water alone at first, as essential oils are not water-soluble. Taking these simple steps can help soothe the skin and restore comfort quickly.

If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
