Lisa asked:
I am a licensed esthetician in Illinois, looking at starting up my own holistic skincare space. As a licensed esthetician, am I allowed to use essential oils on my clients? I can’t find anything that specifies one way or another… only stuff that says we can only work on the top layer of skin for purposes of skincare and relaxation. I don’t see how using essential oils would be any different than using a product with essential oils as an ingredient… but I was wondering if anyone knows for sure. And where can I find proof that it is or is not allowed? Thanks!

Probably so. I have not seen essential oils regulated anywhere. so just make sure you know their properties and what to use, dilutions etc.
You already have the licence to do the work, so the oils are just part of your trade.
I love essential oils, and study them. I would think they will help your business grow!
