Frequently Asked Questions

How much Majestic Mosquito Oil should I use?
The amount of Majestic Mosquito Oil you should use depends on your susceptibility to mosquito bites. If you are not particularly prone to mosquito bites, applying the oil to your pulse points may be sufficient. However, if you are highly susceptible to mosquito bites, we recommend applying it more thoroughly, similar to how you would apply lotion or sunscreen.

From what age can children use Majestic Mosquito Oil?
Essential oils are not recommended for children under 3. Some experts suggest that essential oils should not be used on children under 5 or 6 years old due to their more sensitive systems and lack of knowledge about a child's allergies.

Can I use Majestic Mosquito Oil on my face?
The ingredients in Majestic Mosquito Oil are safe for most users. However, those with sensitive skin may react to certain ingredients. If you experience skin irritation, discontinue use, especially on your face, and wash with a gentle soap. Consult a medical professional if irritation continues.

What is the expiration date for Majestic Mosquito Oil?
We recommend that you use Majestic Mosquito Oil within a year of purchase. After that time, oils begin to lose their potency and may begin to spoil.

Why isn't the apricot kernel oil in Majestic Mosquito Oil listed as organic?
To meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations, the apricot kernel oil in Majestic Mosquito Oil must be food-grade. Finding apricot kernel oil that is both organic and food-grade can be challenging due to several factors. Food-grade certification requires adherence to high standards to ensure the oil is safe for consumption. Ensuring that the oil remains uncontaminated and pure throughout the production process requires stringent quality control measures, as any contamination can pose health risks. Similarly, obtaining organic certification is a rigorous process that involves strict guidelines and regular inspections. Meeting both sets of standards simultaneously can be difficult and costly. In addition, apricot kernels are not as widely produced as other seeds and nuts, such as almonds or olives. The limited supply of organic apricot kernels further narrows the availability of oil that meets both organic and food-grade standards.

Has Heiress Oils considered putting Majestic Mosquito Oil in a spray bottle?
We have explored the possibility; however, oils present a unique challenge in aerosol or pump bottles. Unlike alcohol- or water-based formulations that evaporate cleanly, oils tend to leave residual droplets at the dispenser's mouth. This residual oil glides down the dispenser, causing the bottle to become messy even with careful use. Consequently, at this time, we believe that the dropper bottle is the best vessel for the current formulation of Majestic Mosquito Oil.
