Can I use this oil on my face, and what precautions should I take?

You can apply the oil to facial skin, but extra caution is needed. The product contains concentrated lavender essential oil, which can be irritating to sensitive areas and mucous membranes. Carefully apply a small amount to the forehead, cheeks, and jawline, avoiding the immediate eye area, eyelids, and lips. Do not apply near the nostrils. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, perform a patch test on a small area of your neck or behind your ear and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or discomfort before broader use. The oil base may feel heavier than a facial moisturizer, so some people prefer to use it only on exposed areas like the neck and ears. If you wear sunscreen, apply the sunscreen first, let it absorb, then apply the repellent oil sparingly.
