If you’ve purchased premade essential oil blends, you might think that you can use them without worrying. However, this isn’t necessarily true. Here are some safety considerations to think about before using premade essential oil blends.

Understanding Safety of Premade Essential Oil Blends

Find Out What’s in the Blend

Make sure you read the ingredients before using any premade essential oil blend. You might decide to purchase it because it’s intended for relaxation or pain relief, but that doesn’t mean that you know exactly what you’re getting.

Find out which essential oils are in the blend and be sure to research them fully before using. Some of the things you’ll want to find out about them include:

• Can the essential oils in the blend be applied topically? Do they cause skin irritation?
• Are the essential oils safe for consumption?
• Is it safe to apply the essential oils before going out in the sun or will they cause sunburn or skin discoloration?
• Are the essential oils in the blend safe to add to your bath water?
• Will these essential oils interact with any of your medications?
• Are the essential oils safe to use during pregnancy?
• Can the essential oils be used by small children or babies?

Learning more about the essential oils in the blend can help you make the most informed decisions on how to use it.

You will also want to make sure that the premade essential oil blend you’re thinking of purchasing is high-quality. It should be made from 100% essential oils to ensure that you aren’t getting any fillers. This is essential to getting the most benefit from your essential oils.

If you are thinking about using a premade essential oil blend for cooking purposes, make sure that the blend you are purchasing is Food Grade. This means that it is approved by the FDA for consumption.  

Remember to Use a Carrier Oil

A lot of people assume that they don’t need to dilute a premade essential oil blend. Since it’s already been preblended, you might assume that it’s already been diluted, but this isn’t the case. You will still need to dilute the premade essential oil blend with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, olive oil or jojoba oil.

These are just some of the safety concerns of premade essential oil blends that you should be aware of. If you have any questions about the safety of the essential oils you are considering, be sure to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
