Who It's For

This oil is for people who prefer natural, single-ingredient remedies that can do double duty in personal care and around the home. It suits users who treat occasional acne, rashes, cold sore outbreaks, or who want an antiseptic oil to include in first-aid kits and cleaning blends. It is also appropriate for anyone who diffuses oils to purify and freshen indoor air.
