1. Dilution Tab: The red tab shows the
dilution amount required to safely avoid skin
sensitivity when applying topically. Since
personal chemistries vary, the dilution
shown is for sensitive skin. A simple skin
patch test will best tell you what your skin
can tolerate. With experience, some may be
able to gradually reduce dilution levels. To
further reduce risk of skin sensitivity, apply
the oils topically only to the soles of the feet.
2. Photosensitivity Tab: The yellow
tab is blank on most oils, but if the oil has
photosensitizing properties (meaning it will
activate UV rays to more rapidly burn the
skin) then the word ‘PHOTO’ appears in this
tab. If the oil is only minimally photosensitizing there is a minus (-) following the word
PHOTO; in one case (Lime) there is a plus
(+) following the word PHOTO, indicating it
is highly photosensitizing. The skin areas
where photosensitizing oils have been applied must be covered and protected from
sunlight and UV rays for at least 24 hours.
3. GRAS Tab: The blue tab provides information on whether the oil is approved by
the FDA as GRAS (Generally Regarded As
Safe) or FA (Food Additive/Flavoring Agent)
for use in food. In blends, the classification
applies to the entire blend, i.e. if the word
GRAS appears in the tab, then every oil
used in the blend is GRAS- approved; if the
word GRAS/FA appears, then every oil in
the blend is either GRAS approved or approved as a Food Additive/Flavoring Agent.
