Information contained on Balanced By The Sea website is not medical advice and has not been evaluated by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA). Whilst essential oils are natural and low-tox products, they are concentrated, therapeutic agents and can cause reactions in sensitive people. Please seek medical advice prior to using essential oils if you are taking any medications, have any underlying medical conditions or have any concerns.

Balanced By The Sea does not make any claims that allergic reactions will not occur. Prior to daily use, please patch test on the inside of the wrist and monitor for skin irritation.

Balanced By The Sea essential oil roller blends have been curated using dilution ratios suited to adults only. These blends are not for use in children.

Safety & Precautions

For sensitive skin or pregnant and breastfeeding women, please check the ingredients in our essential oil blends carefully, they may not be suited to your skin or use.

In general, essential oils are considered safe, with minimum adverse reactions. In some cases, they can cause minor skin irritation at the site of use. If this occurs, cease application immediately. 

Citrus oils, in particular, can cause phototoxicity (sensitivity to the sun) and topical application should be avoided 12-18 hours prior to sun exposure. 

Correct storage of essential oils away from direct sunlight and heat is important, as contact sensitisation is more likely to occur due to oxidation if they are left in these conditions. Essential oils can change their chemical composition over time, so it is important not to store them for long periods. 

Not all essential oils are safe to use in pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Please see the list below for essential oils not recommended for use during this time that are present in Balanced By The Sea blends.

Each postage bag is a compostable mailer that you can re-use to send an extra parcel yourself. Your package is also wrapped in Hero Hex Wrap. This type of 100% recycled and compostable packaging will ensure that your items are padded and protected during delivery.

Our commitment to being eco-conscious also applies to the promise we have made to our retailers. Our products are displayed in an Australian-made low-tox natural timber stand. We've partnered with an Australian business, for premium sustainably sourced Tasmanian Oak Timber stands, which are finished with a signature low-tox oil coating.

We strive to be 100% environmentally friendly. We care about our impact on the environment and strive to make our brand as eco-conscious as possible, while still upholding our sustainable and premium qualities.

Fractionated coconut oil is made from virgin coconut oil, whereby the laurin and long chain fatty acids are removed, creating a clear, odourless, liquid oil.  This makes for the perfect carrier oil when blending essential oils, as it absorbs into your skin quickly without leaving a greasy feel or staining clothing or sheets.
