Essential Oils: Some tweaking.

Tweaking...as in a little bit here, a little bit there,  measure, re-measure, measure one more time, dilute, check any warnings, any contraindications, any health warnings, phototoxicity....

And I will be releasing my first batch of Purity & Simplicity products soon!

This first batch will be cold weather-seasonal (just in time, right? Winter is supposed to officially end in a month and a half.) I won't go into details, but some of the Winter-specific products (available year-round) will include body butter, body scrub, aromatic chews, a soothing cough syrup, and lip balm.

We are putting some final touches on labels, in order to follow proper FDA, USDA, and USDA/NOP guidelines*. HOPEFULLY we will have our first run of products available soon.

* We believe in following the rules and guidelines set forth by product-governing organizations such as the FDA, USDA, USDA/NOP, and the EPA (for our insect repellent.) Therefore, we ensure all of our products' labels include the following information:

1. Name of our product
2. Our name: Purity & Simplicity
3. Net quantity, including net weight for items sold by weight
4. Place of business
5. Ingredients using INCI name from most to least
6. Safety statements such as "not for use in children under the age of 8," etc.

The majority of ingredients (95%) are Organic-certified (by USDA).
