USAGE & SAFETY Below are a few safety tips when using essential oils. If you are ever in doubt, please contact a member of Joyful Drops team. Also, remember we are not medical professionals and we cannot diagnose any ailments or prescibe treatment. We may only recommend what has worked personally for us or others we know. • Never ingest an oil that does not have “Dietary Supplement” listed on the bottle. • Never put an essential oil in your eyes or ears. • If you unintentionally get an essential oil in your eye, flush immediately with a carrier oil (vegetable/grape seed oil/olive oil/jojoba oil/coconut oil ). Do NOT flush with water, as water will not dilute oil. • When applying a new oil, test 1 drop on a small patch of skin first. If you have a reaction to an oil dilute with a carrier oil . • For children we recommend diluting with carrier oil when using an essential oil • Seek the advice of a health professional before topically applying any oil to children that includes dilution directions on the product label. • We do not recommend essential oils on babies under 6 months of age. • Follow the recommended instructions on the essential oil bottle. • Use only one new oil at a time to determine how your body responds. Wait 30 minutes before applying another new oil. • Pure citrus oils may compound the effects of sun exposure. Limit prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for up to 12 hours (up to 24 hours for angelica and lime; up to 48 hours for bergamot ) after applying these undiluted essential oils to the skin. • Avoid using essential oils on skin that has been damaged or affected by chemical burns. • See individual label directions or check with a health professional before using essential oils if you have a serious medical condition, are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant. DO NOT use wild tansy, clary sage, sage, fennel, wintergreen, or hyssop during pregnancy. • Consult a health professional about any serious disease or injury. DO NOT attempt to self-diagnose or prescribe any natural substances for conditions that require professional attention. • Citrus oils should only be used in glass or stainless steel, they will deteriorate and permeate plastic containers. Diffusers are the exception due to the water dilution. • For more information visit www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/safetyguidelines.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT ARE CARRIER OILS? Carrier oils are used to dilute an essential oil. We recommend to dilute all of your essential oils. It will prevent skin irritations, your bottles will last you longer, and it also helps you spread your oils across your body more effeciently. WHAT CARRIER OIL SHOULD I USE? There are several carrier oils that we recommend. A few are: Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil . Shea Butter is often used in recipes as well. Try out several because it is truly a matter of personal preference. WHERE DO I BUY CARRIER OILS? Often times you can find carrier oils at the grocery store. Other places we recommend are Amazon and Costco. WHERE DO I BUY ADDITIONAL DIFFUSERS? While Young Living’s diffusers are awesome, there are a few others you can find online. A popular diffuser many essential oil users seem to enjoy is the Stadler Form Jasmine Aroma Diffuser, which may be purchased online at Kohl’s or Amazon. IF I WISH TO INGEST (TAKE ORALLY) THE OILS HOW WOULD I DO THIS? First of all, please make sure that the oil can be ingested safely. We only recommend ingesting Young Living’s 100% theraputic grade essential oils that have a dietary supplements section on their label. If in doubt, please ask a professional. Vegetable capsules can be purchased at health food stores, Young Living website, Amazon, or Abundant Health. We recommend size Double 00. Links on following pages. HOW DO I STORE MY RECIPES I MAKE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS OR MY MIXED OILS? Glass contatiners, amber glass bottles with eyedroppers, or roller bottles are great to store your own creations. If you wish to mix Citrus based oils, please use glass or stainless steel containers only. These items can be purchased on Amazon, Abundant Health or Bulk Apothecary websites.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (con’t) I HAVE HEARD OF DIFFUSER NECKLACES? WHAT ARE THEY AND WHERE DO I BUY? Diffuser necklaces are great for slowly diffusing your favorite oil while you’re wearing it.
