Said honestly
Before first use, do a patch test on the inner elbow and wait a day. We make no health promises , a self-mixed oil is care, not treatment. For skin problems, dermatology is the right address. Use clean vessels and fresh oils, then the blend keeps for a few weeks, cool and dark. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
