There is a lot of argument i Aromatherapy about the supposed

seizure-causing effects of Rosemary EO on epileptics. In fact, there

have been some studies that point to Rosemary EO reducing the incidence

of seizures. Just some food for thought...

My guess is that any of these essential oils that come with warnings are based

on large quantities used directly on the skin or taken internally. I would think

the small amounts we normally use in soaps and toiletries would have a very

minor, if any, negative effect on people.

I use grapefruit seed extract in all of my soaps because I superfat

both my CP and MP products. GSE is an all-vegetable antioxidant that

extends the life of the superfatted bar by an additional 6-12 months. It

contains Vitamin E and glycerin.

,

Sorry to disillusion you but GSE has not been shown to be either an

antioxidant or a preservative. Please check the extensive archives on this

list for more information about the fallacies regarding GSE.
