Questions

What is aromatherapy?

What is the difference between an essential oil and a fragrance oil?

What is the difference between essential oils and carrier oils?

How do you use essential oils?

I have heard that some essential oils are unsafe to use during pregnancy. Which ones, and why?

You say Auroma is TGA listed – what does this mean?

How should I store my essential oils?

The method of storage for essential oils is very important in determining shelf life. As essential oils are natural products, they can become rancid or go ‘off’ if not stored properly. Oils should always be stored in a coloured glass bottle and kept out of sunlight. Bottles should be tightly capped.

Essential oils are also very concentrated, and will erode certain materials. Therefore we suggest you avoid contact with plastic, painted or varnished surfaces and do not buy oils with rubber glass dropper tops. The oil will turn the rubber into a gum, which will ruin the oil.

Are any of your products tested on animals?

Can I use the Auroma base products by themselves?

Why do you have so many different types of one oil – what is the difference?
