MONQ Safety and Usage Guidance
MONQ personal aromatherapy diffusers are handheld devices created for adults who want to experience botanical aromas wherever they go. MONQ blends contain essential oils emulsified in a coconut-derived vegetable glycerin base.

Important Safety Information
- MONQ is intended for adults age 18 and older—or the applicable legal age where the product is purchased or used.
- Do not inhale MONQ mist into your lungs, as that just lowers the effectiveness.
- Use only as directed.
- Do not use MONQ if you are pregnant or nursing.
- Do not use MONQ if you have asthma, COPD, another respiratory illness, or a chronic pulmonary condition.
- Do not use a blend containing an ingredient to which you are allergic or sensitive.
- Stop using MONQ if you experience coughing, irritation, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or another unexpected reaction.
- Keep MONQ products away from children and pets.
- Do not open, refill, puncture, burn, or modify a MONQ diffuser.
If you have questions about whether MONQ is appropriate for you, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
How to Use MONQ Safely
MONQ is designed to be experienced through the mouth-to-nose pathway—not through the lungs.
- Remove the cap from the mouthpiece.
- Hold the mouthpiece lightly to your lips.
- Draw a slow, gentle breath into your mouth for approximately two to three seconds.
- Hold the aromatic mist briefly in your mouth and the back of your throat. Do not swallow it or draw it deeper into your airway.
- Exhale slowly through your nose.
- Replace the cap after use.
The most important instruction is to keep the mist out of your lungs. This is not because it is dangerous to inhale, but rather because, in our opinion, it lowers the effectiveness, when it gets absorbed by the alveoli in the lungs.

Recommended Frequency
MONQ recommends taking two to three gentle breaths during each session and using the diffuser two to three times per day.
Taking additional breaths during one session may not improve the aromatic experience because the sense of smell naturally adapts to continued exposure. Pause between sessions rather than taking many consecutive breaths.
Individual sensitivity varies. Begin gently, especially when trying MONQ for the first time or using a new blend.
Who Should Not Use MONQ?
MONQ is not appropriate for everyone.
Do not use MONQ if you:
- Are younger than 18 or younger than the applicable legal age.
- Are pregnant or nursing.
- Have asthma, COPD, another respiratory illness, or a chronic pulmonary condition.
- Are allergic or sensitive to essential oils or any ingredient in the selected blend.
- Have been advised by a healthcare professional to avoid inhaled aromatic products.
Review the complete ingredients for your chosen blend before using it. If you are uncertain about an ingredient or health condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Ingredients and Composition
MONQ creates proprietary blends using essential oils sourced from botanical materials. The oils are emulsified in a certified-organic, coconut-derived vegetable glycerin base.
Each blend label identifies three primary ingredients that describe its principal aromatic profile. A complete blend may contain additional supporting essential oils.
MONQ’s current formulation information states that each diffuser contains approximately:
- 80% organic, coconut-derived vegetable glycerin
- 20% proprietary essential-oil blend
A typical breath contains approximately 0.003 mL of essential oils.
Because ingredients differ among blends, always review the product’s complete ingredient list before use. Explore MONQ ingredients and sourcing information.
What MONQ Does Not Contain
MONQ personal aromatherapy diffusers do not contain:
- Nicotine
- Tobacco
- THC
- Vitamin E acetate
- Synthetic cannabinoids
- Artificial flavors
- Artificial ingredients
Original MONQ diffusers do not contain CBD. Products specifically identified as MONQ +CBD contain CBD isolate but are formulated with 0.0% THC.
How the Diffuser Works
A MONQ diffuser gently heats its essential-oil formulation to create a light aromatic mist. The device does not burn tobacco or involve combustion.
The diffuser is activated by a gentle draw through the mouthpiece. The resulting mist should remain in the mouth and upper throat before being exhaled through the nose.
MONQ is a personal aromatherapy diffuser. It is not a cigarette, smoking product, or nicotine-delivery product.
Product Testing
MONQ states that laboratory testing has found its products to be free of formaldehyde, acrolein, nickel, tin, lead, and aluminum.
Contact MONQ if you need additional information about testing for a particular product or batch.
Heating Essential Oils
Botanical materials and essential oils have long been used in aromatic practices involving heat. MONQ diffusers use controlled heat to create a small amount of aromatic mist rather than the large visible clouds associated with many conventional inhalable devices.
MONQ’s diffuser heats the formulation to approximately 250°F. The diffuser should never be opened, modified, refilled, punctured, or exposed to fire or excessive heat.
Stop using a diffuser if it becomes damaged, leaks, produces an unusual odor, becomes unusually hot, or otherwise malfunctions.
Allergies and Unexpected Reactions
Essential oils contain naturally occurring aromatic compounds that can affect people differently.
Before using a blend:
- Review all disclosed ingredients.
- Do not use it if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to one of its ingredients.
- Begin with a gentle breath to evaluate your response.
If you experience irritation, coughing, dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, or another unexpected reaction, stop using the product. Seek appropriate medical assistance if symptoms are severe or do not resolve.
