Soft Essential Oil Blend

Named for its nature, Soft Essential Oil Blend is impressively gentle in its restorative qualities where both the body and emotions are concerned.  The light, yet grounding oils in this blend assist in emotional relaxation and restoration from anxiety, tension, depression, hormone imbalance (especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding), stress, nervousness, and pain and headaches. Soft Blend is a must-have for prenatal care as it works wonders for the female reproductive system.  Not only does it stimulate red blood cell production, but it also stimulates the growth of new cells.  And are those not some very important concerns during pregnancy?  Don't forget to add a diluted dab to those varicose veins and even (maybe its embarrassing, but it's true) those hemorrhoids. 🙈🤷‍♀️.  Soft, Jr. Spray is already safely pre-diluted for children 2+, pregnancy, and lactation.  As it delivers quick and effective results on the skin, this cleansing and relaxing blend may be used anytime the softness of the skin has been compromised and needs to be restored.  The most common uses for injured or damaged skin include: wounds (for initial cleaning and continued care), cuts, bruises, scrapes, stings, eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, sensitive skin issues, rashes, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and general topical calming and soothing. Because it is equally effective and gentle, Soft continues to impress our customers and us!   "Because the oils used in this blend were selected for particularly tender things, Soft is the blend most used in our home when targeting delicate issues both emotional and physical.  It is the safest, most gentle blend of essential oils in our store while also being the most effective." -Brittany, Owner For Soft, Jr. (pre-diluted and ready to use on children 2+) click here.  Details & Ingredients Soft is a select blend of essential oils including:   Geranium (Pelargonium x asperum), Rosewood (Aniba roseadora), Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia), Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini), Lemon (Citrus Limonum), Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata), Jasmine (Jasminum Officinale) Extract, and Rose (Rosa damascena) *Absolutes are not steam-distilled; they are solvent-extracted through a multi-step process.

This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate. However, with that said, it is important to remember the extreme concentration of essential oils. "Using essential oils by rubbing them into the skin or via inhalation is in many cases more effective than oral delivery" (Schnaubelt 96). All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion. Cautions Geranium: Dilute before applying to skin. Repeated use can result in contact sensitization. Rosewood: None known. Lavender: No known issues.  Roman Chamomile: This oil can irritate the skin.  Palmarosa: Skin irritation. Lemon: Photosensitive: Avoid direct sunlight for a minimum of 12 hours after application.  Ylang Ylang: Deeply relaxing and overuse could result in nausea. General EO Cautions: If for any reason you get essential oils in your eyes, put carrier oil along the eyebrows above the eyes and on the cheekbones below the eyes. Do not put essential oil inside the ear canal.   This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion. It is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a licensed physician who is also certified in aromatherapy.  References Worwood, Valerie.  The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy.
