Ingredients we use

Ingredients

Once opened Innocent Oils Butters & Balms should be used immediately and at least within 9-12 months to ensure freshness as nature intended.
After this time you may still use Innocent Oils & Balms but the active ingredients may lose some of their optimum potency.

Every one of our products is designed to be gentle on the skin. However, we recommend you do a skin patch test if you have not used any of the ingredients before hand.
If in the unlikely event you suffer any reaction cease use immediately, and seek GP medical advice if you suffer an allergic reaction.

Please store all Innocent Oils & Balms out of direct heat & sunlight to prevent deterioration and melting.
Innocent Oils Butters and Balms may be stored in the fridge for freshness, although this is not essential unless stated.
