Pure essential oils are an important part of any routine, whether you\u2019re talking skin care, cleaning, relaxation or overall wellness. To help ensure your day is free of oil-related mishaps, we\u2019re answering your questions about whether essential oils stain clothes and other fabrics.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Q: Do essential oils stain?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A: Other than the exceptions listed below, pure essential oils do not stain. Because they are volatile, the oil evaporates without leaving grease stains on clothes or fabrics like you could get from a drop of carrier oil. Young Living\u2019s pure essential oils don\u2019t leave a greasy mark.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Q: Which essential oils stain?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A: Though pure essential oils don\u2019t leave an oily spot, a handful of oils can leave stains due to the naturally occurring darker or yellowish colouring from the original botanicals. So be careful using these essential oils around your favourite white layering tee or Grandma\u2019s heirloom linens.<\/p>\n<p>Oils that stain due to a natural dark colour:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/blue-tansy-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Blue Tansy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/jasmine-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Jasmine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/german-chamomile-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">German Chamomile<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oils that stain due to a natural yellow colour*:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/myrrh-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Myrrh essential oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/patchouli-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Patchouli<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/vetiver-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Vetiver<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/tangerine-essential-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Tangerine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>*The yellowish colour fades, but you\u2019ll still want to avoid using it around your whites.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Q: How can these essential oils stain?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A: Applying any of these oils directly on white fabric will leave a stain\u2014which is okay if you\u2019re trying a new tie-dye project. If tinting your t-shirt isn\u2019t the plan, avoid doing the following with these oils:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Applying directly to the skin and then putting on clothes before the oil absorbs.<\/li>\n<li>Adding to your laundry or washing.<\/li>\n<li>Spilling on clothes or other fabrics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Q: How can I use the darker-coloured oils?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A: While it\u2019s true that these essential oils have potential to stain, their bottles are full of powerful benefits. If used with care, you\u2014not your clothes\u2014will be golden! Here are a few ways you can use darker-coloured oils:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add a drop of Blue Tansy to your moisturiser to dilute its colour and help reduce the appearance of blemishes.<\/li>\n<li>Diffuse Jasmine to fill your home with a rich, sultry aroma.<\/li>\n<li>Combine German Chamomile with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/en_GB\/products\/v-6-enhanced-vegetable-massage-oil\" class=\"broken_link\">Young Living V-6<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> to enhance your massage.<\/li>\n<li>Make a set of DIY bathtub crayons that double as soap.<\/li>\n<li>FYI, these oils may stain your diffuser depending on the oil and the amount you use. Be sure to clean your diffuser after each use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>BTW, some of your favourite blends include darker oils that could stain, like Peace &amp; Calming and Valor.
