Q: Can I add this essential oil to my store-bought body lotion?
A: Introducing essential oils directly into finished commercial products is not recommended, as they can affect the stability of the emulsion and the efficiency of the preservatives. It is advised to use it in neutral cosmetic bases or full DIY recipes created from scratch.
Q: Is diffusing this oil suitable for both the living room and the bedroom?
A: Absolutely. Diffusing sweet orange oil is ideal in the living room to create a welcoming and cheerful atmosphere, but also in the bedroom before bedtime, as it induces a state of calm and mental relaxation favorable to falling asleep.
