Can these oils be added to lotions and such, for use on skin? Thanks!

It depends on the oil. Many of them need to be diluted before applying topically. For example, for the synergy blend 'stay alert,' they recommend a 3 to 5% dilution for topical body applications. I suggest checking directly with the manufacturer before adding to any lotions, creams, etc. Their website is www.edensgarden.com. I hope this helps! :0)

Hi,I haven't added them, but I really don't see why they couldn't be. Good thinking!

Aromatherapy gurus may not advocate mixing commercial lotions with essential oils, but they do counsel you to mix them with coconut oil (which can be in a solid or liquid form) and used as a lotion. In terms of physically can this be done, sure. I use some oils directly on my skin, and others you should cut with oils like grapeseed, coconut, almond oil, etc. You ought to consult a book about essential oils to see which can be used directly (called "neat") or which have to be diluted.

Yes...but you have to wait for the oil to soak in your skin first. Awesome product.

yes it can. I use the oil pure on my hands and scalp. I mix it with my favorite organic lotion to rub on my body. The oil can be used in soaps. If you are into soap making you can find recipes online or you can simply purchase premade soaps that use the oil

Definitely yes! Jojob is one of a few carrier oils that work well for beard oil. I use this to make beard oil for my business.

You can, but I'd use Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil - Face, instead. http://www.amazon.com/Palmers-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Therapy/dp/B00EVRXKAK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421611039&sr=8-1&keywords=palmer%27s+skin+therapy+oil It's specifically blended for facial skin. I used to use the regular skin therapy oil on my face, but I like this so much more. I still use the regular skin therapy oil on my body, though. Love these products.

I use them directly from the bottle in my diffuser and in my bath with good results. I haven't used them much for putting directly on my skin. It is pure therapeutic grade oil so I suppose it would depend on which oil you use. Some are oils (oregano, for example) very harsh on the skin.

My wife uses the Emu Oil as a moisturizer on her face. She tells me that the oil could very well be used as cleanser, however the cost may be prohibitive.

It is my opinion and belief that essential oils are safe to wear and consume. Probably more so than some body lotions!

You can but it is not enough in the jar for lotion use. When you think of lotion you see larger bottles. There is a lotion in this same ingriedents but it is crappy as heck. This stuff truly works you just have to be careful because it will lighten your skin shades lighter,

Hi Nikki . Well , although these oils are 100% pure and certainly there is nothing about them to harm you , they are also certainly not created as a food flavoring . They work as a fabulous ingredient in all of my home made skin and hair care products .

Yes you can, but I'm not sure about the amount since these are very very concentrated oils. It would be best to Goggle for information

Yes. We use doTerra oils which are great! You can order them on mydoterra.com/wilsonoils

Not to certain about that one. These oils are originally used for candy making. I particularly uses them for baking purposes.

Yes, you can. If you want to add a few drops of carrier oil such as mineral oil, almond oil or another carrier oil.

If added to a carrier oil, yes. I use olive. Some people might have a reaction, so be sure to test a small amount on your skin first.

I would use the oil. The lotion is more for dry skin. The oil is what you use to fight scars.

I don't think it's advisable, but I know a lot of people do. These oils are pure, "therapeutic grade" , but I don't think they're legally allowed to advise people to ingest the oils. If you did ingest them, you would be doing so at your own risk
