Chawtons has always believed that knowing the origins of the oils we sell is important to our customers. Essential oils, in particular, can be likened to wine in that price and quality depend very much on its origins and the conditions under which it was grown and harvested.
We believe that Chawtons oils are of exceptional quality and we endeavour to provide them to our customers at a fair price.
Your Safety
Chawtons products have been manufactured and sold for many years and they are tried and trusted formulas. Our products contain dilutions of up to 3% pure essential oil.
Essential oils are perfectly safe if used sensibly and as advised. However, if you suffer from extremely sensitive skin, have recently suffered a serious illness or are pregnant or planning a family, we recommend you seek your doctor’s advice before using pure essential oils on your body.
Oil Storage
We supply all of our pure essential oils in dark brown, 5ml, 10ml and 30ml dropper bottles. For safety reasons, please do not remove the stopper from the essential oil bottle. Essential oils should ideally be stored in a cool, dark place. Avoid letting the oil drip onto polished or varnished surfaces.
