Child Safety
A 1% dilution rate is recommended for children 2+. We do
not recommend the use of essential oils on children under
the age of 2, unless consulting with a pediatrician or an
aromatherapist. Active diffusers should be used for 15-20
minutes. If in doubt about the safety of an oil, our OK For Kids
line was specifically formulated to be safe and effective for
kids 2+.

Active Diffusers
Active diffusers use a stimulus such as
electricity, ultrasonic vibrations, air flow, etc.
to emit essential oils. These diffusers offer an
intense aroma output.
Passive Diffusers
A passive diffuser naturally emits essential
oils without any help from a stimulus. These
diffusers generally offer a less intense aroma
output.
