Are the essential oils in Woohoo products safe to use if I'm pregnant or trying to conceive?Updated a year ago

The short answer: Yes, the essential oils we use are all considered safe for use during pregnancy or when trying to conceive.

The long answer: 

Many of our products have essential oils because we stay well away from artificial fragrances. When it comes to essential oils there is no clear-cut answer about whether or not you should use them during pregnancy.

We believe that many are safe at the very low levels that we use them. But some definitely need to be avoided during pregnancy because they're emmenagogues (stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area). These are oils such as clary sage, sweet marjoram, vetiver, and juniper.

We do not use any essential oil that is considered a definite 'no-no' during pregnancy. The essential oils we do use are at very low percentages with the total of essential oil being under 1% which is considered OK when used topically (by some, you'll find lots of conflicting advice on the net). So it is up to you if you are comfortable with this.

Webmd has some more information if you want to dig into the details :)

If you prefer to avoid essential oils entirely, we have lots of essential oil-free options in our skin, deodorant, and hair ranges. Click here for our Essential Oil Free products.
