FAQ

1. What makes St. Kéa products different from other essential oils?

St. Kéa’s essential oil blends are carefully crafted using ethically sourced botanicals from remote regions with long traditions of sustainable cultivation and efficacy. Our oils are based on ancient wisdom from Celtic Apothecary which drew on plants from distant lands as well as locally grown sources. This is enhanced by modern rigour knowledge and insights into plant efficacy. We prioritize sustainability, never use artificial preservatives or parabens, and ensure all our products are vegan and cruelty-free.

2. Do your products contain any synthetic fragrances or additives?

No, all of our products are 100% natural. We use only pure essential oils and plant-based carriers. We do not use any synthetic fragrances, artificial preservatives, or parabens. Our commitment is to the purity and integrity of the natural ingredients we use.

3. Are you a big manufacturer?

No, we create our blends in small batches in a limited edition bottling and all bottled are numbered. There is also slight variation due to seasonal sourcing and we have noticed some changes in colour and scent in light of changing weather patterns. The efficacy Is unchanged but we will continue t refine our formulations in light of changes in the natural world so the benefits are consistent.

4. How do I know which product is right for me?

Each product is designed with a specific purpose in mind, such as supporting menopause relief, ADHD focus, emotional healing, or spiritual connection. We recommend reading the detailed product descriptions on our site, where we explain the benefits of each essential oil blend. If you’re still unsure, feel free to contact us for guidance based on your personal needs.

5. Are your products safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

While our products are made from all-natural ingredients, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before using essential oils during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some oils may not be suitable during these periods, so it’s important to make an informed decision based on your specific situation. The female hormone support and menopause blends should definitely not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding as these have their own hormonal cycles.

6. Can I use your essential oil blends on my skin?

Yes, all our blends are formulated for topical use at concentrations that support this. Apply the oils to pulse points (wrists, neck, etc.) and breathe deeply for the intended therapeutic effect. We suggest doing a patch test on a small area of skin before using it more extensively, especially if you have sensitive skin. The carrier oils used are a mix of organic jojoba and organic thistle oil.

7. Are your products tested on animals?

No, we are proud to say that we do not test any of our products on animals. Our products are cruelty-free, and we ensure that all our ingredients come from sustainable and ethical sources.

8. Do you offer international shipping?

Yes, we offer international shipping. Shipping costs and delivery times vary depending on your location. You can view the shipping options and estimated delivery times at checkout.

9. What is the shelf life of your essential oil blends?

Our essential oil blends typically have a shelf life of around 12–18 months if stored properly. To preserve the integrity of the oils, we recommend keeping them in a cool, dark place and avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or heat.

10. How should I store my essential oils?

To maintain the quality of the essential oils, store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keeping the caps tightly closed will also help preserve their potency and aroma for longer. A cupboard or fridge are equally fine.
