Safety Precautions when Making Natural Perfumes
TNS Slide on EO Book

Before you start working with essential oils, absolutes, and other aromatic essences, be sure you’re informed about some basic safety precautions.

▪ Never apply directly on skin (neat or undiluted)
▪ Conduct a patch test on your inner arm
▪ Take a break from working with/wearing oils
▪ Use common sense, better safe than sorry
▪ Keep away from Children & Pets

If you’re serious & want to make products scented with aromatic essences to sell, we highly recommend the most comprehensive book on EO safety: Essential Oil Safety, 2nd edition by Robert Tisserand & Rodney Young (2014). It’s a very large reference book that covers 400 essential oil profiles & sells for between $60-$99. Robert has taught several Essential Oil seminars at The Nova Studio, and trust us when we say he knows his stuff. Another great source of info is his blog: RobertTisserand.com

▪ The startup cost is not prohibitive (as long as you don’t go crazy with pricey oils).
▪ Blends & combos you create can be used to scent all your other B&B products.
▪ If you decide to sell them, perfumes have a higher profit margin than most B&B products.
