026 • Let’s Talk Essential Oil Safety

Hennapreneur

As henna artists, we're so used to adding essential oils that many of us, whether knowingly or unknowingly, approach essential oils like we would approach sugar or what tea to use in our paste or whatever, and look, using essential oils inside of our henna paste is certainly one of the ways that you can produce rich stains for your clients, but you can't overlook what these products are.

An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid that contains volatile chemical compounds from plants, period. That is what it is.

And so, if you're using essential oils inside of your paste and using that paste on clients, you need to be super aware of essential oil safety.
