The key components fall in the range of Neryl Acetate: 6-40%, a-Pinene: 3-30%, Gamma-Curcumene: 8-15%, and Italidiones: 3-10%.

Hemp seed oil is extracted from seeds of the hemp plant. The hemp plant’s THC concentration does not exceed 0.3%. Its major components are three polyunsaturated fatty acids: linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid. Its ratio of omega-6 (linoleic acid) to omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) fatty acids is 3:1.

SHIPPING & HANDLING FEES: I use USPS Priority mail to send out your order. Normally, it takes about 1-3 business days. Once I drop it off at the post office, it's out of my hands. Please note when you plan to order especially around the holidays.
SHOP POLICIES: No refunds, exchanges, returns and cancellations. However, if you need to cancel, please do so immediately within an hour at the most. I may be packaging your item within an hour so the sooner I know, the better for you and me. Thank you for understanding.
SENSITIVITY & ALLERGIES: I always use high quality, natural ingredients but some herbs and oils can cause reactions to those allergic or sensitive. When trying new products, always do a skin patch test by applying to a small area of healthy, non-irritated skin (the underside of the wrist or underarm is a good place), to check for skin sensitivities. This is especially important if planning to apply to broken or damaged skin. Wait about 20 minutes. Look for redness, a rash near the area or elsewhere. Always monitor yourself or your child whenever using aromatherapy blends.
