Vitateka Rosemary Oil is a 100% essential oil, which means it is much more concentrated than rosemary herb or a ready-made cosmetic oil. For that reason, it should not normally be applied neat to the skin or scalp unless a qualified specialist has advised you to do so.
For body massage, mix it into a carrier oil before use. A carrier oil is a skin-friendly base oil used to dilute essential oils and spread them evenly over the skin. For scalp rituals, the same principle applies: add a very small amount to a base oil or to a cosmetic product rather than placing drops directly on the scalp. This helps reduce the chance of discomfort and makes application more controlled.
Before using any new diluted essential oil blend on a larger area, it is sensible to test a small amount on a limited patch of skin and wait to see how your skin feels. Do not use it on irritated or broken skin, avoid the eye area and mucous membranes, and wash your hands after handling the oil. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have very sensitive skin, or want to use it on a child, check suitability with a qualified professional first.
