I'll recheck the container when I get home, grin! Its probably concrete.

I have always been careful to work in an airy enviroment, avoic skin

contact unless Im actually testing a scent, and to dilute everything before

putting it on my skin...

I have found that I get overloaded with things I use a lot of. I used to

make an antiseptic balm with a high content of wild thyme, and I can't

stand the smell of the stuff now. It makes me nauseous to smell it...

Not sure if that is a sensitisation...probably the step before it.

I changed the recipe and now just don't use thyme. But it taught me a

lesson about care in manufacturing. The problem was that I was mixing it

into a warm to hot melted beeswax and oil base, so could not avoid inhaling

large quantities of it, as I was mass producing the balm.

Hi All, I love oakmoss. So far in working with essential oils daily for the last

10 years I have not become sensitized to anything.

I have been loving Eden Botanicals Oakmoss Absolute for a few years now. I am

very careful with handling and dilution and use their Oakmoss Absolute approved

for use in perfumery by IFRA. Extracted in France and is low in atranol.
