How can we help?

In-stock orders are on their way within 2–3 working days. We ship across India today, and more markets are rolling out. Every box includes the Certificate of Analysis for what's inside.

We currently ship within India. Direct international shipping is on the roadmap — check back soon.

When your order ships you'll get an email with a tracking link — tap it to follow the parcel. Lost the email or it's been more than a few days? Send us your order number and we'll chase it.

If it hasn't shipped yet, we'll do our best — email us with your order number and the change as soon as you can. Once it's with the courier we can't pull it back, but you're always covered by our returns promise below.

No — and you never need to. Botanical oils are classed as hazardous for return transit (flammable), so bottles can't be shipped back. If anything arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, contact us with a photo and we'll replace it or refund you in full — keep the bottle. Full terms: returns policy.

Email hello@theorganicforest.com with your order number and a photo of the issue. We reply within one working day with a replacement or refund. Nothing gets shipped back.

Once we confirm the issue from your photos, refunds are processed to your original payment method, typically within 5–7 working days — the exact timing depends on your bank or card provider.

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should not go on skin neat. Dilute them in a carrier oil (like our jojoba or argan) first. A simple guide for body use:

Strength	Per 30 ml carrier
1% — face / sensitive / daily	about 6 drops
2% — general body use	about 12 drops
3% — short-term, local spot use	about 18 drops

Carrier oils (jojoba, argan, coconut, almond) can be used directly on skin and hair. When in doubt, start lower — less is more.

Before using a new oil, dab a small amount of the diluted blend on the inside of your forearm, cover it, and wait 24 hours. If you see redness, itching, or irritation, don't use it. Always patch-test a new oil even if you've used others before.

Keep them cool, dark, and tightly capped — away from direct sun and heat. Stored well, most carrier oils keep around 12 months after opening and essential oils often longer (citrus oils are shorter-lived). Each bottle carries its own best-before date; if an oil smells off or rancid, retire it.

No. Our oils are made for topical and aromatic use — skin, hair, and diffusing. They are not intended to be swallowed. Please don't ingest essential oils except under the guidance of a qualified professional.

Use extra caution. Some essential oils aren't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for young children, or around pets — cats in particular are sensitive to several oils. We can't give individual medical advice, so please consult your doctor, midwife, or vet before use if any of these apply to you.This is general guidance, not medical advice. When in doubt, check with a qualified professional.

In a diffuser, follow the device's instructions — usually just a few drops in water. For a bath, never drop neat essential oil into the water (it floats and can irritate skin); first blend it into a carrier oil or an unscented base, then add that. Carrier oils can be added to a bath as-is.

It's the GC/MS lab report that shows exactly what's in the bottle — the proof behind "what's on the label is what's in the bottle." One travels in every box.

A few things to look for:

• Botanical name & batch number — ties the report to your exact bottle.
• GC/MS constituent profile — the list of compounds and their percentages; the key markers should fall in the expected range for that oil.
• Test date & lab — shows it was tested by an independent lab, not self-declared.
• Purity / adulteration check — confirms nothing was cut or diluted.

The batch number on your bottle should match the one on the CoA in the box.

Yes — we source single-origin and test every batch by GC/MS so you get the real thing, nothing cut or stretched. The CoA in your box is the receipt for that claim.

Often, yes. These are natural, single-origin oils, so colour and aroma can shift a little between harvests and batches — that's a sign they're real, not synthetic. If you're ever unsure, check your batch against its CoA, or send us the batch number and we'll confirm.

Yes — add items to your cart and check out on this site. Secure card payment is in test mode while we finish the gateway, so you can place your order here today.

Every bottle is the same single-origin oil, same batch, with the CoA in the box. Order on-site and we look after you end-to-end.

Yes — card payments run through a secure, PCI-compliant gateway; we never see or store your card details.

Yes. We do packs, by-the-litre volume, and private label — your brand, our tested oil, with a spec sheet and CoA for every batch. Tell us what you need below and the wholesale concierge will quote per volume.

Yes — we send a sample with its Certificate of Analysis so you can test the oil before you commit to a run.

In-stock orders ship in 2–3 days. Bulk and private-label runs typically take about 2–3 weeks, depending on volume and packaging.
