Question:	What is seller contact info
Answer:	Yes, they are fine to wear in water. You may need to reapply essential oil afterward. I do not clean them. Simply apply new oils each time. However, if say you accidentally poured a bottle of tea tree oil on it and need to remove the strong smell, I would simply soak it in warm soapy water (using a pure soap like Castile), rinse well & air dry. I love my bracelets.
Question:	Can I custom engrave this bracelet
