HOW TO ADD

Because our Pure Mānuka Extract is so incredibly potent, it's essential to dilute it before you use it on your skin. The perfect amount is unique to you, which is why we've created a simple dilution calculator to help you get it just right.

Once you have your custom ratio, simply mix the extract with your favorite moisturizer or a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil.

Remember to do a quick patch test on a small, discreet area of skin first. For best results, use your blend consistently and let the power of nature go to work

DOSAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Applying Pure Mānuka Extract directly on your skin, at its full concentration on human skin isn't generally recommended due to factors like bioavailability and penetration, individual variation, chronic versus acute use, and overall skin health. We recommend the below strengths:

Eczema: 5%

Additive to your regular skincare: 1 - 2%

Sensitive skin/face: 0.3 - 0.5%

Wounds/target cream: 2 - 3%

Acne: Start with 1% for the first week, and if acne persists, increase to 2%

Shampoo for a healthy scalp and hair: 0.5 - 1%

Shampoo for dandruff, itchy scalp, or seborrheic dermatitis: 1 - 2%

For children, it's best to reduce all concentrations by 0.5 - 1%

CONCENTRATION VS. EFFICIENCY

While 0.3% strength is indicated as being effective for anti-bacterial uses, other concentrations may be desired for different purposes or for individual skin sensitivity. Higher concentrations are not necessarily "more efficient" but are stronger and require more caution.

DROPS PER BOTTLE

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Patch Test: Regardless of the strength, always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin, to check for any allergic reactions or irritation, before applying your blend more broadly.

Individual Sensitivity: Skin sensitivity varies greatly. Some individuals may react to even low concentrations. Pay attention to your skin's response and reduce the concentration or discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur.

Duration of Use: Higher concentrations should only be used for short periods. For long-term or daily use, stick to lower dilutions.

Area of Application: Avoid applying Mānuka extract blends, on broken or severely irritated skin, or on sensitive areas like the eyes and mucous membranes.

Children and Vulnerable Populations: Lower dilutions are generally recommended for children, and it is advisable to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or certified aromatherapist before using extract blends on children, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those with underlying health conditions.

Always prioritize safety and, when in doubt, consult with a qualified healthcare professional or certified aromatherapist for personalized advice on the appropriate and maximum safe concentration for your specific needs.
