4. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

To keep your little one safe, for newborn to 24 months, we recommend that you always check with your pediatrician before introducing a new product to your baby’s routine.

Can I use Rūt Essentials products in the same home or room as my baby?

Our products have no specified age range; however, remember to store products well away from your infant and child.

Are diffusers a safe way of introducing essential oils to children?

Ultrasonic diffusers effectively enhance the air of any environment. We recommend that:

– Diffusion Time: diffuse essential oils for 30-60 minutes on, then 30-60 minutes off

– Air Flow: whenever you are using or diffusing essential oils, offer fresh air with an open window or door

4.b. PREGNANCY

Can I use any Rūt Essentials products while I am pregnant?

Yes, but please consult your health care practitioner before use.

4.c. PETS

Can I use Rūt Essentials oils on my pet?

The ability to tolerate essential oils is dependent on many factors, including plant species, product, dose, and route of application. Essential oil use cases show the most significant risk of toxicity is from direct skin application on your pet’s skin – these same cases also share that a large volume was applied directly and neat (pure without a carrier) to the pet’s skin. Knowing that there is a risk in using these oils to your pet’s fur or skin, we strongly recommend consultation with your veterinarian or animal care specialist prior to applying or exposure to any of our products.

I’ve checked with my vet and am choosing to use essential oils around my pet. Do you have any Rūt Essentials product recommendations?

If you’ve chosen to use essential oils around your pet, we first recommend taking note of your pets behavior, contacting your vet with any concerns, and the below list of Rūt products that we feel are the most pet-friendly:

Single note essential oils:

– Chamomile Roman

– Frankincense

– Clary Sage

– Geranium

– Rosemary

Is it safe to use an ultrasonic diffuser with essential oils in a room with my pet in it?

Should you choose to use your ultrasonic diffuser in the presence of your pet, we recommend:

– Using only small amounts of essential oils. 1-5 drops are our recommendation

– Ensure the space is well ventilated with a window open slightly for fresh air

– Always keep a door open so that the animal can enter and exit the room easily

– Take note of how your pet responds at all times and if you notice your pet resisting an aroma, discontinue use and move them to a well-ventilated space

– Be particularly mindful of pets that are in cages or enclosed spaces (including birds and small rodents) as they cannot leave the room if they become uncomfortable
