Essential Oils & Absolutes — Safety & Usage Guidelines

Our essential oils and absolutes are highly concentrated botanical materials intended for external use only. They are not suitable for internal consumption. Always dilute essential oils before applying to skin and perform a patch test prior to use. Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas. Keep products stored safely away from children and pets. Always wear appropriate protective gear when handling essential oils.

If you are pregnant, nursing, or have any medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before use. Individual responses to botanicals vary, and customers are responsible for conducting their own research and determining suitability for personal use. We do not provide individualized medical or usage guidance.

HIGH ALTITUDE COSMECEUTICALS products may be sourced through multiple manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors worldwide. Sources and processing, transportation, storage, and handling conditions may vary by product and batch.

We cannot verify that every product has remained free from contact with peanuts, tree nuts, or other allergens throughout the supply chain or during subsequent handling and bottling. Cross-contact cannot be ruled out through shared facilities, warehouses, storage areas, equipment, utensils, filling equipment, or pouring areas, including at our facility. We do not guarantee that cleaning procedures eliminate allergen cross-contact.

Supplier documentation, when available, may not address every potential source of cross-contact and should not be interpreted as an allergen-free certification unless it expressly provides that assurance for the applicable product and batch.

Unless expressly stated in the individual product description, no guarantee is made that a product is peanut-free, tree-nut-free, or otherwise allergen-free. Any express allergen statement applies only to the product, allergens, and conditions specifically identified. An ingredient list identifies ingredients; it does not establish the absence of incidental allergen cross-contact.

If you require a product with verified absence of a particular allergen or verified controls against cross-contact, do not rely on the absence of an allergen warning as confirmation of suitability. Contact us before purchasing. If the necessary assurance is unavailable, we cannot confirm that the product meets your requirements.

“Natural” does not equal risk-free. Some oils require lower usage levels or may not be appropriate in certain conditions. For example, Arnica and Wormwood (among others) essential oils are strictly for external use only and must never be ingested. Conduct your own research before use.

No guarantees are made that our products will match or compare to those of another supplier in aroma, appearance, or overall character.

The visual and olfactory properties of essential oils and absolutes naturally vary due to multiple factors, including:

• Botanical origin and plant genetics
• Geographic region and terroir (soil, climate, altitude)
• Harvest timing and seasonal conditions
• Plant part used (flowers, leaves, roots, resins, etc.)
• Extraction method (steam distillation, solvent extraction, CO₂, etc.)
• Batch-to-batch variation inherent to natural materials
• Storage conditions and age of the material
• Supplier and distillation practices

These variations are a natural characteristic of botanical materials and contribute to the unique profile of each batch. Customers seeking a specific aroma profile are encouraged to evaluate samples prior to larger purchases.

Our oils are sourced from both large and small producers around the world. They may be distilled, extracted, or blended to enhance their desirable aromas and effects. Please refer to the description of each product for specific details. Standard Safety Data Sheets (SDS) or Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, subject to availability and processing time. We recommend purchasing samples to evaluate their suitability before committing to a larger quantity.
