Ingredients
To ensure maximum effectiveness, safety and enjoyment and to help you get the most out of your products here are some tips and pointers:
- As we use non synthetic preservatives we recommend that Scentcillo products (not including essential oil blends) are used within 6 months of purchase.
- To enhance the shelf life of your product keep in a cool, dark place below 30°C or refrigerate (particularly in summer or tropical climates).
- Use clean fingers or a spatula or spoon to apply creams. A plastic spatula is provided with your facial moisturiser and body creams come with a pump dispenser.
- Replace jar or cap after use and keep water out of product.
- For sensitive skins patch test first, e.g behind the ear or on the inside of your wrist to ensure compatibility. If any reaction occurs discontinue use immediately.
- Body creams and facial moisturisers contain nut oils. Do not use if allergic to nuts.
- Do not use products on babies.
- Keep products away from eyes as essential oils may irritate sensitive areas.
- If you are pregnant or have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified health professional if you have any concerns before using Scentcillo products.
- Citrus oils can be photo sensitising when used in high concentrations on the skin before exposure with UV light. Citrus oils are used in the Oracle, Tango and Starlet body creams but the concentrations used should not cause any photo sensitisation. Shaman body lotion contains a combination of citrus essential oils, which may cause photo sensitisation, so it is advisable to avoid suntanning, using a sun bed or lamp or working outdoors after application.
- Rinse out containers or bottles with warm soapy water before recycling to make sure your PET or glass items are clean before collection.
