100 Uses for Essential Oils

So how do you know if you need
to make adjustments before

applying an essential oil topically?

Every dōTERRA essential oil approved for topical use
®
includes a skin sensitivity descriptor to help anyone using
the oil to understand the best way of applying the oil for
safe use. Each product approved for topical use will include
one of the following labels:

Neat: If something is labeled Neat, it means that the essential
N oil can be applied without any dilution. Oils in this group tend to

have a mild chemistry and thus a low risk for sensitivity.

Dilute: If something falls under the classification Dilute, it
