Safe use

Begin by reading the instructions for the actual product.

Different fragrance formats require different placement and use. The product label and instructions always take priority.

Basic principles

  • Read the product label before use.
  • Keep the room ventilated and stay within the recommended amount.
  • Prevent accidental contact or ingestion by children and pets.
  • Keep products away from eyes, damaged skin and unintended flame.
  • Stop use if discomfort occurs and seek appropriate professional advice where needed.

Scent names are not ingredient statements

Names such as mint, lavender or musky impression describe how something smells. They do not mean that a product contains an essential oil of the same name, and they cannot determine suitability for a particular person. Follow the ingredients, concentration, format, label and safety information for the actual product.

Spaces that need extra care

Cars, small rooms, spaces shared with pets, and rooms used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, by infants, or by people with asthma or scent sensitivity require more careful control of amount, duration and ventilation. If suitability is uncertain, pause added fragrance and seek advice from a doctor or another appropriately qualified professional.

Distinguish non-flame diffusion from burning

  • Keep reed-diffuser liquid beyond the reach of children and pets to prevent spills, contact or ingestion.
  • Burning candles or incense produces smoke and particles. Avoid continued burning near infants or people with respiratory sensitivity, and ventilate the room.

Before use

Read the product label before applying general advice.

Reed diffusers and candles present different placement and use risks. This page offers general awareness only; product-specific labels and instructions take priority.

  • Stop use if something feels wrong
  • Take extra care during pregnancy or breastfeeding, around infants, children, pets, and people with asthma or scent sensitivity
  • Do not rely on unverified absolute safety claims

Check by format

A diffuser and a candle do not share the same risks.

These are general checks and never replace the instructions for a specific product.

Reed diffusers

Place on a stable, ventilated surface away from spills, children and pets.

Candles

Keep a burning candle in sight and away from flammable materials. Burning produces smoke and particles, so avoid continued use near infants or people with respiratory sensitivity.

Room intensity

Reduce use or increase ventilation if scent becomes too strong.

Damaged delivery

Stop, keep the packaging and record any breakage, leakage or abnormal condition.
