Any applicable safety recommendations will be listed on the relevant product page. 

We have cautionary recommendations when it comes to infants and children and we dilute ingredients accordingly. Neonatal skin does not mature until three months old and is far more sensitive and absorbent to essential oils. The skin is much thinner, and if premature up to 2.5 times more permeable than adult skin, the risk of sensitisation is greater.  Infants also have a reduced metabolic capacity and renal function, so their ability to clear substances from their bodies is not comparable to that of an adult and is thus impaired. 

Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts of plant materials and in the wrong dosages, incorrect method of application, or in the wrong hands, can have negative consequences. 

As with any product, a patch test is recommended before use, and if irritation occurs, please discontinue use. Please, always keep our products out of reach of curious little hands. 

Any applicable safety recommendations will be listed on the relevant product page. 

We do our best to keep with demand, however occasionally our products sell out. You can sign up for an email notification for when your product of interest comes back into stock. This also gives us an indication as to where to place this item in our manufacturing priority line. The button to sign up for a notification is located  under the SOLD OUT button on the product page. 

We have listed the allergen components of essential oil content only which is in line with international labelling standards. Our exact recipes remain trade secret. If you have sensitivities to a particular oil, and would like to know if that is included in your product of interest, please get in touch with us at hello@nude-alchemist.com stating which oil and product is of concern, and we will do our best to address your concern.

Please see list of stockists here. Alternatively you can order from us directly online. We carry exclusive sizes and product lines that are not stocked anywhere else. 

We do our best to source the freshest and highest quality ingredients, following aromatherapy safety guidelines. We use safe dilutions and oils for the intended individual and use to reduce the chances of any reaction. Naturally some individuals are more susceptible to irritation than others such as babies, children and the elderly. 

Please read application instructions before use and conducting a test patch prior to use is highly recommended. Test on a small area of the forearm and wait for 10–15 minutes to be sure that no irritation reaction occurs. If irritation occurs, please discontinue use. We cannot guarantee you will not experience a skin reaction and cannot be held responsible if this occurs. 

Irritation will be localised to the areas where the product has been applied. This generally occurs on first exposure with an immediate reaction, such as a rash (raised/inflamed/bumpy/itchy skin). 

If the reaction is not localised and can be noticed in other places other than the area you have applied the product and is not very noticeable upon first use, this is most likely a sensitisation of an essential oil component. Sensitisation is an allergic reaction of the immune system. It is highly likely than it will take more than one exposure for this reaction to occur. We follow the international cosmetic labelling standards which means that any known potential skin allergens contained within a product are listed on the label. These components have been so widely used in the cosmetic industry that an individuals exposure to them are significant, which increases the likelihood of sensitisation over time.

If our product enters the eyes, please immediately wash your hands with soap and water and then put some carrier oil (such as olive oil) on a paper towel and gently wipe your eye several times. Flushing the eyes with saline solution is another option. If irritation persists, please seek immediate medical advice.

Nice try, this one is top secret! Much time and energy has been invested into sourcing the best essential oils. All the essential oils used in our products are third-party tested with Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) reports available for each and every batch produced. This means purity is guaranteed and they possess the correct chemical compositions according to intended use to achieve the desired therapeutic results. This is why our products work. 

We are not affiliated with any essential oil brands. 

No. Like any other medication you would get from the chemist, please read the instructions BEFORE use. 

Any internal usage of products containing essential oils should only be done under appropriate medical guidance of a trained clinical Aromatherapist.

If you accidentally get a product on your clothing, wash clothing with a mainstream detergent containing surfactants (we recommend Persil), or as per CCN (Clean Cloth Nappies) protocol.

If you hadn't noticed, new labels have been rolled out over the last year and one of the changes is the way the ingredients are listed to align with international cosmetic standards.

Don't be alarmed when you see the word Fragrance (Parfum), which is commonly used commercially to hide some pretty nasty synthetics. So nasty that the EWG gives the label Parfum a default rating of 8 (high hazard). Rest assured, when you see this term on The Nude Alchemist labels, it just means that our product contains natural essential oils (and only this!) and is marked with an asterisks/double asterisks to indicate this. Any potential skin allergen components from the essential oils are also listed after Fragrance (Parfum). Please don't be scared by these fancy words, they are just precautionary and necessary labelling requirements - 99% of people experience no reaction.
