What are essential oils?

Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic extracts that are distilled or cold pressed from a variety of plant material including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resins, woods, and fruits.

What are some ways to use essential oils?

In general, essential oils can enjoyed for their distinctive fragrance and aromatic properties when applied to the skin or used with a diffuser. Some essential oils may be added to foods or beverages to enhance flavor and aroma or provide other benefits. Check Isagenix.com for each Essence Essential oil’s recommended use.

Which Essence Essential Oils are safe to ingest?

Add up to one drop of Isagenix Essence Essential Oil to at least 8 fluid ounces of liquid.  Because essential oils are potent even a small amount can provide great flavor and benefits. Try dipping a toothpick into the oil and stirring it into your shake or cleanse drink.

Do not consume Airway™ Blend, Tea Tree Essential Oil, or Eucalyptus Essential Oil.

What is an application oil and why should I use it?

Fractioned coconut oil is the only ingredient in Essence Coconut Application Oil.  Fractionated coconut oil is the most popular oil used for applying essential oils to the skin. It is moisturizing, odor free, and non-greasy.

Application oils are necessary because they help ensure that the essential oil of choice is comfortable on the skin. Pure essential oils are concentrated and can sometimes be irritating for sensitive skin types when applied without dilution. Isagenix application oil does not reduce the effects of the essential oil, but minimizes skin irritation.

What if I experience skin discomfort or irritation?

When applying an oil topically for the first time it’ a good idea to place one drop in an inconspicuous area to see how your skin reacts. To minimize skin sensitivity, mix with a few drops of Isagenix Coconut Application Oil. If skin discomfort or irritation occurs, discontinue use on the affected area. If the reaction persists it is best to consult with a doctor.

Where should Essence essential oils be applied topically?

Diluted essential oils can be applied to most areas of the skin. However, refrain from applying oils to sensitive areas such as near the eyes and ears.
