Deve Herbes Pure Marjoram Essential Oil (1250ml, Aluminium Bottle)

How should I dilute marjoram essential oil for safe use?

Never apply undiluted marjoram oil directly to skin. For daily facial care, use 1% dilution by mixing 5-6 drops in 30ml carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond oil. Body care requires 2% dilution with 10-12 drops per 30ml carrier oil. For acute care applications, use 3-5% dilution with 15-30 drops per 30ml carrier oil. Always perform a patch test before first use.

What are the main therapeutic benefits of marjoram essential oil?

Marjoram oil is known for its calming and relaxing properties in aromatherapy practice. The sweet herbal aroma helps create peaceful environments for meditation and stress relief. When diluted properly, it can be used in massage therapy to promote relaxation. The oil's therapeutic compounds may help with muscle tension when applied topically in appropriate dilutions with carrier oils.

How long does this 1250ml bottle typically last?

Usage duration depends on application frequency and dilution ratios. Since 1ml contains approximately 16 drops, the 1250ml bottle provides about 20,000 drops. For daily facial use at 1% dilution (6 drops daily), the bottle would last approximately 9 years. For weekly massage sessions using 20 drops per treatment, expect around 19 years of use. Professional aromatherapists may use it faster depending on client volume.

Can I use this oil in a diffuser or aromatherapy device?

Yes, this pure marjoram oil works excellently in diffusers and aromatherapy devices. Add 3-5 drops to ultrasonic diffusers or 5-8 drops to larger room diffusers depending on space size. The sweet herbal aroma disperses evenly without synthetic fragrances or additives. Start with fewer drops and increase gradually to achieve desired scent strength. Clean your diffuser regularly when switching between different essential oils.

What safety precautions should I follow when using this oil?

Keep the oil away from eyes and wash hands thoroughly after handling. If oil accidentally contacts eyes, flush immediately with coconut oil or cold milk - never use water as it can spread the oil further. Store away from children as the bottle lacks child-safety caps. Pregnant or nursing women should consult healthcare professionals before use. Avoid sun exposure after applying citrus-containing blends.

How should I store this essential oil to maintain quality?

Store the aluminium bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The virgin aluminium packaging already provides excellent protection from light and oxidation. Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination. Ideal storage temperature ranges from 15-25°C. Properly stored, pure essential oils can maintain potency for several years.

Is this oil suitable for people with sensitive skin?

While marjoram oil is generally well-tolerated, people with sensitive skin should exercise extra caution. Always perform a patch test by applying a small amount of diluted oil to inner wrist and waiting 24 hours for reactions. Start with lower dilution ratios (0.5-1%) and gradually increase if no sensitivity occurs. The hypoallergenic and pH-balanced properties make it gentler than many essential oils, but individual reactions vary.
