Question 1

Why should oregano essential oil be used at especially low concentrations?

Accepted Answer

Origanum vulgare oil is very high in carvacrol and thymol, placing it among the most active phenolic oils. In formulations, concentrations below 0.5-1% are generally recommended, and 1-2 drops are sufficient in diffusers, to avoid skin and mucous-membrane irritation.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml oregano essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Origanum vulgare oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Can oregano essential oil be applied directly to the skin?

Accepted Answer

Direct, undiluted application is not recommended. Dilute in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 0.5-1% concentration due to the high phenolic content. For sensitive skin, a patch test is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
