essential oils....

[PippiL]

I make scrubs, creams, soap,candles etc..
I like to use essential and fragrance oils.It seems like every essential oil I use and want to use is toxic,cancerous ,they just sound like very dangerous.I love to use lavender (the only one that is fine) fennel,rosemary,lemongrass,tangerine,cedarwood...
How do you handle those oils ? Do you rather use EO's than FO's for that reason?

I use both essential oils & fragrance oils. Rainbow Meadow Blend calculator will give you some great combinations if you want to use just essential oils.

I did research and put warning labels on my soap as necessary, even if the amount used and the fact that it's not a leave-on product makes risk negligible. I don't yet do lotions but obviously you'd want to be even more careful as it's leave-on.

I decided early on that if I had to put a warning label on a product (as I did with cedarwood), it probably wasn't a good idea to sell it. It's just not appealing to a customer to pick up a bar of soap or a bottle of lotion that says "WARNING!"

Not the most usual of requests....but does anyone know of anywhere in Hungary where I can source essential oils at cost? Most places charge the same prices as in the UK, and as I am sure there are essential oils produced in Hungary, I have no idea where. I am a professional therapist and therefore use these in my profession.

but you list the UK as your location - why are you looking to purchase in Hungary?

then again, you are posting from India, so I guess all bets are off.
