AFAIK, there is NO scientific or safety reason why you couldn't use Canola Oil in any cream, lotion, bath oil, massage oil, hair conditioner etc. . . And I can't think of any scientific or safety reason why you couldn't use Canola Oil with any other oil. That being said, I've never used Canola Oil in any product because of my unfounded concern of consumer acceptance. I just think that a consumer may not like to see Canola Oil in the ingredient declaration. Maurice -------------------------------------------------------- Maurice O.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Thank you Maurice! I will give it a try, see how the massage oil turns out. Can you tell me (anyone) what the INCI name for Canola is? And, what properties this oil would offer in massage oils or lotions? There is no information (that I can find) available on canola, except as a cooking oil. ................................ wolfsoap@...

She said, " Canola! That is RAPESEED " ! And she put the bar down. I suspect the word rape had a very negative connotation for her. The sale was lost!~ Wyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
