PRODUCTS

Do you test your products on animals?

Absolutely not; we never have – and never will – test any Saje products on animals.

Back to top

Are your products vegan?

Most of our products are vegan, excluding those containing beeswax and our dryer balls, which are made from 100% natural wool. Examples of products that contain beeswax include our lip balm products and our skincare balms. As a reminder, the full list of our ingredients can be found on the product’s information page, and they are always printed right on the label. We never include hidden or unlisted ingredients!

Back to top

How do you use the dryer balls to separate or soften fabrics?

Apply 5-7 drops (or as desired) of the laundry blend to each wool dryer ball before tossing into your dryer and beginning your preferred cycle. The dryer balls help to create separation between fabrics and linens to encourage faster drying time and softened, refreshed clothing and household items.

Back to top

Which blend do you recommend pairing with the dryer ball?

Sweet Sheets Fresh Laundry Blend, which contains fresh, floral and citrusy essential oils of lavender, bergamot and lemon.

Back to top

Are there alternative blends that I could use with the dryer balls?

We recommend using a colourless diffuser blend or single note essential oil to protect the integrity of your fabrics. Examples of colourless diffuser blends include: Mountain High, Rain Forest, Energy, Immune (CAD) / Fortified Breeze (USA), Allergy Release (CAD) / Inhale (USA) and Refresh. Examples of colourless single notes include lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary and tea tree.

Back to top

How long do the dryer balls last?

Up to 2 years, depending on how frequently they are used and how they are maintained. 100% natural wool dryer balls are also quieter than plastic dryer balls and more environmentally friendly then single use synthetic dryer sheets.

Back to top

Are the dryer balls vegan?

Because they are made with 100% natural wool, they are not vegan. They are, however, cruelty-free.

Why do sheep need to be sheared once a year?

The Government of New Zealand shares that sheep with 12 months wool growth or more will suffer considerable stress and even exhaustion resulting in death, unless they are shorn before the onset of summer heat each year. Sheep also like to roll on the ground, particularly after a shower of rain. A shorn sheep is much more likely to get to its feet again compared to a sheep with a long fleece. A sheep on its back with a heavy fleece risks harm or death in the height of summer, and long fleeces can also get caught up more easily in wire, netting, etc. Regular shearing ensures the health and welfare of the sheep is top of mind at all times.

Back to top

Are the sheep treated well?

Yes! The Code of Sheep Welfare regulations enforced by the New Zealand government are some of the strictest and most stringently regulated in the world. Our wool supplier proved through a partner selection process that their sheep are treated and sheared humanely, and they are free to express their normal patterns of behavior.

Back to top

Are the workers in Nepal paid fair wages?

Yes! Our supplier proved through our partner selection process that fair wages, ethical treatment and compassionate care of workers who make the dryer balls is always top of mind.

What if my mister arrives broken?

If you received a broken mister, it may be due to colder climates and seasonal effects. The purified water content in our mists is freezing and expanding in the bottle, which is causing it to arrive shattered. In the event this happens, please contact our Customer Experience team who will be happy to support you by phone at 1 (877) ASK-SAJE (1-877-275-7253) or Email Us.

BABY & CHILDREN

To keep your little one’s health and safety top of mind, for newborn to 24 months we recommend that you always check with your pediatrician before introducing a new product to your baby’s routine. For more information, check out our blog article: Usage and Safety of Essential Oils with Babies and Children.

Can I use Saje home care and home cleaning products in the same home or room as my baby?

Our home care products have no specified age range, however, our suggestion is to spray products well away from your infant and child. You may also wish to use these products while your baby is in another room. We recommend that you do not use these air sprays or home cleaning sprays on any articles, toys etc. that may be placed in the infant’s mouth.

Back to top

Can I use Saje natural health products on my baby?

Generally, our natural health products are made for adult use only. Unless a natural health product is specifically made for infants and children, we generally do not recommend using these products on infants or children. Our best suggestion is always to speak with your trusted healthcare practitioner prior to introducing any essential oil-based products to your babies and children.

Back to top

Can I use Saje cosmetic products on my baby?

Are diffusers a safe way of introducing essential oils to children?

Ultrasonic diffusers are effective for enhancing the air of an environment like a bedroom, playroom, or daycare facility. We recommend these best practices that are in accordance with aromatherapy safety expert Robert Tisserand:

- Less = More: use fewer drops of essential oils in ultrasonic diffusers when diffusing around babies and children
- Intermittent Setting: if you are diffusing essential oils, use an intermittent setting instead of a constant run. The majority of our diffusers offer an intermittent setting that runs for 30 second on and 30 seconds off
- Diffusion Time: diffuse essential oils for 30-60 minutes on, then 30-60 minutes off, or consider reducing the overall amount of time you are diffusing in a certain area or room
- Air Flow: whenever you are using or diffusing essential oils, offer fresh air with an open window or door

PREGNANCY

 

I have used remedies while I am pregnant. Should I be concerned?

If you have concerns after having used remedies during pregnancy, please speak with your trusted healthcare practitioner.

We know that pregnancy is a delicate life stage for you and for your child, which is why we always err on the side of caution and recommend against using our remedies during your pregnancy. Our remedies are licensed by Health Canada, which requires all products intended for use during pregnancy to be supported by studies or references definitively showing that all ingredients are safe for expectant mothers and their unborn babies.

If you have concerns after having used remedies during pregnancy, please speak with your doctor.

Based on the information available at the time of licensing our remedies, and based on usage restrictions required by Health Canada, we do not recommend using our remedies during pregnancy. For all essential oils used in our remedies, there are no known records of complications during pregnancy for mothers or babies, but we do believe it best to be as safe and compliant as possible.

You may also reference our blog article Guidelines and Product Recommendations for New and Expectant Mothers for more information.

PETS

 

Can I use Saje essential oils on my pet? I heard that you can apply tea tree or lavender to pets to prevent ticks and fleas.

It is our strongest recommendation to speak directly to your trusted animal practitioner prior to introducing any essential oil-based products for use near your pet.

At Saje, we err on the side of caution, and in knowing that there is a risk in applying essential oils to your pet’s fur or skin, we strongly recommend consulting with your veterinarian or trusted animal practitioner prior to the application of, or exposure to, any of our products.

Please refer to our blog article Essential Oils and Pets for more information.

Is it safe to use an ultrasonic diffuser with essential oils in a room with my pet in it?

Using a diffuser is a great way to freshen the air in your home, and is best done carefully when pets are part of your family. If you choose to use your diffuser in the presence of your pet, we recommend:

Using only small amounts of your favourite diffuser blend (1-5 drops max), and observing how your pet responds. A common reaction when a pet is not enjoying a particular is aroma is that they will leave the room.

Try diffusing for short periods of time (30-60 minutes), or consider a diffuser with an intermittent setting (for example, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off).

Ensuring the space is well ventilated, which might mean slightly opening a window for fresh air.

Always keeping a door open so that your pet can enter and exit the room easily.

Taking note of how your pet responds at all times. If you notice your pet resisting an aroma, discontinue use, move them to a well-ventilated space right away and consider contacting your veterinarian for more information.

Please refer to our blog article Essential Oils and Pets for more information.

How do I introduce an essential oil or blend to my pet to see if they like it?

Many animals have a stronger sense of smell and sensitivity to smell than we do; we do not recommend that you attempt to have your pet smell any essential oil products directly out of the bottles, and that you follow the guidelines above regarding diffusing.

Please refer to our blog article Essential Oils and Pets for more information.

If your pet sneezes or seems uncomfortable, we recommend removing them from the room before misting. As a precaution, your pet should always be able to freely exit the space.

Can I leave essential oils in my diffuser running when I am not home for my pet?

When it comes to your pets, we recommend operating your diffuser with essential oils only when you are at home, so you can monitor your pet’s reaction.

Is an ultrasonic diffuser with essential oils safe to use near my pet bird, lizard, tarantula or guinea pig?

There is a need for more research on the topic of essential oils used near small pets.

As we mentioned above, when diffusing these small pets in cages do not have the ability to leave the room should they become uncomfortable.
