scent went bad in my lotion

[fylith]

i made some lotion and but in a citrus kind of scent called celestial waters. smells great in my soaps and candles. but when i put it in my lotion it ended up smelling alot like rotten eggs and alittle like citrus. i scared to put in any citrus scents into my lotions now is there a way to stop this from happening or maybe a certain combonations of oils that "like" citrus scents better? i use a combo of shea butter coconut oil and olive oil for my lotions.

thanks a bunch

Some fragrances are not approved for skin contact. I would guess your issue might be no preservative. You have to use one in lotions.

i used germbenII. sorry that i forgot to say that. also i scented other scents from the same batch and same oils and the scent didnt turn bad.

I have never had a problem w/ assorted citrus scents in lotions.

where'd you get the fragrance oil?

brambleberry.com it works great in my soaps and candles
maybe it is not rated for lotions?

thanks

So, did the lotion smell weird right from the beginning or soon afterwards?
