All Wellness Warrior essential oils are organic.  

COMMON USES:

The health benefits of sage are nearly limitless from topical applications to help smooth and repair skin, to fighting fungal infections. It's antimicrobial properties serve as an excellent antiseptic for wounds, sore, ulcers, incisions, and skin tears, including post-natal birthing injuries. Sage has anti-inflammatory properties which lead to this oil being an excellent choice for inflamed skin. Safe to be used directly at the site of infections, however dilution may be required for those with sensitive skin. The antispasmodic properties of sage make this a safe choice to use topically to relax the muscles, or aromatically to calm the body as a whole.

CAUTION:

As with all essential oils, it is important to test a small area for skin sensitivity before applying without a carrier oil.  Wellness Warrior suggests diluting essential oils with a vegetable based carrier oil, such as raw coconut or jojoba oil.
