FAQs
Can Olbas Oil be used on babies?
Yes, Olbas Oil can be used on children from 3 months old. Always follow the recommended usage instructions for infants and children.
How do I use Olbas Oil for congestion?
For congestion, place 1-2 drops onto a tissue or handkerchief and inhale the vapors. Alternatively, for adults and older children, add a few drops to a bowl of hot water (not boiling) and inhale the steam, keeping eyes closed. Use caution with steam.
How do I use Olbas Oil for muscle pain?
For muscular aches and pains, apply a small amount directly to the affected area and rub in gently. A feeling of warmth and local anesthetic action should follow.
Can Olbas Oil be used in a diffuser?
Olbas Oil is intended for inhalation via a tissue or for direct topical application. It is not typically recommended for use in diffusers as the product is concentrated and designed for specific delivery methods.
Is Olbas Oil safe to ingest?
No, Olbas Oil is strictly for external use only. Do not ingest the oil.
What should I do if I get Olbas Oil in my eyes?
If Olbas Oil comes into contact with your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water. If irritation continues, seek medical advice.
How should Olbas Oil be stored?
Store Olbas Oil in its original container, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of children.
Troubleshooting
Product has a very strong smell.
This is normal due to the blend of potent essential oils. Use in a well-ventilated area or on a tissue placed away from direct breathing to manage intensity.
Skin irritation after topical application.
Discontinue use immediately. Wash the area with soap and water. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before wider application next time. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
Accidental contact with eyes.
Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of clean water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Not providing expected relief.
Ensure proper application method is followed (inhalation vs. topical). For congestion, try placing the tissue closer to you. For pain, ensure it's applied directly to the sore area. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are severe or persistent.
