Essential oils are everywhere in the treatment room—but how much do we really know about their safety, quality, and proper use?In this episode of Aesthetician Edit, Samantha sits down with Bob, an attorney and longtime aromatherapy educator who has studied essential oils for decades. Together, they take a deeper look at what estheticians should know before incorporating aromatherapy into their treatments.From essential oils vs. carrier oils and fragrance oils to product quality, dilution, contraindications, client intake, certifications, and the legal responsibilities that come with creating your own blends, this conversation goes far beyond simply choosing an oil that smells good.Bob also shares his experience researching the effects of aromatherapy, why “natural” doesn't automatically mean safe, and why estheticians need to understand their clients' medications, medical history, allergies, pregnancy status, and other potential contraindications before using essential oils.In this episode, we discuss:Essential oils vs. carrier oils vs. fragrance oilsWhy “natural” doesn't always mean safeHow essential oils can interact with medications and medical conditionsWhat estheticians should ask during a client intakeEssential oil quality and what terms like “pure,” “organic,” and “therapeutic grade” really meanThe importance of sourcing and distillationPatch testing and working with sensitive clientsHow much essential oil is too muchAromatherapy certifications and scope of practiceMaking medical claims vs. educating clientsThe legal responsibilities of creating your own skincare blendsWhy estheticians should be intentional about every product they use in the treatment roomBuilding trust through education and proper client communicationThis is an important conversation for any esthetician using aromatherapy, or considering adding it to their practice.

Geraldine shares how years of working with microcurrent shaped her vision for a treatment that brings technology and the esthetician’s touch together.We get into the role of intuition in a treatment, why the person using a device matters as much as the device itself, and what it took to develop a skincare line to work alongside her protocols.
