Precautions and Safety Tips

  • Avoid eye contact: Keep away from eyes, inner ear, and sensitive areas. In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water.

  • Photosensitivity: Although the bergamot in the blend is pre-diluted, it is prudent to avoid direct sun or UV exposure for at least 12 hours after applying the product to exposed skin, especially if used in large quantities.

  • Pregnancy and lactation: Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under medical supervision.

  • Keep out of reach of children: Store in a safe, cool place.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.




Frequently Asked Questions



What differentiates Anchor from other doTERRA calming blends?

Anchor Steadying Blend is specifically formulated to promote a sense of rootedness, stability, and connection. While it shares ingredients with other calming blends, its unique combination of lavender, bergamot, frankincense, sandalwood, and myrrh seeks a balance between emotional calm and mental firmness, making it ideal for practices like yoga or meditation and for moments requiring centering.




Can I diffuse Anchor Steadying Blend?

Anchor comes in a roll-on format pre-diluted in fractionated coconut oil, making it ideal for direct topical application and aromatic inhalation from the skin. It is not designed to be diffused in a traditional water mist diffuser, as the carrier oil base would not disperse properly. However, you can apply a few drops to a personal diffuser necklace or a tissue for indirect inhalation.




Is it safe for children?

Due to pre-dilution in fractionated coconut oil, it is generally safe for topical application on older children. However, for young children or those with sensitive skin, it is always recommended to perform a patch test and, if necessary, dilute further with additional carrier oil. It is advisable to consult a pediatrician or qualified aromatherapist before using any essential oil on children.




How often can I use Anchor Steadying Blend?

You can use Anchor as often as you feel necessary to support your emotional and centering needs. Many apply it in the morning to start the day with stability, before yoga or meditation practices, or at times during the day when they need a reminder to breathe deeply and anchor themselves. Listen to your body and adjust the frequency according to your personal experience.
