Kid-Safe Essential Oils Guide - 8 Elephants by Molly

Kid-Safe Essential Oils Guide

We are a multi-generational company and as such we want everyone to SAFELY use our Epsom salts. Our blends use diluted essential oils for our natural scents. Essential oils, while generally safe have some safety parameters that we wanted to share.

While we love the natural, bright tones from essential oils we want you to be safe. Some considerations are in place regarding women who are TTC, are pregnant or for young children.
