HELP PLEASE!!!

[Guest guest]

Cat, did they pull out the fluid and prove you have the full 4 ml? in ether

case its time to see another doctor. The band holds 5 ml so why cant they

add a tad more if your not feeling restriction? Again my only suggestion is

to get another doctor's opionion.

ette

weight. I am really struggling and feel like a real failure.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

I just looked on their site and it doesn't list that FO as body safe.. ALL

of their FOs are not body safe, just ones noted as body safe are...

per website:

MillCreek fragrance oils also work beautifully in other types of waxes and

applications such as: beeswax, paraffin, Smelly Jelly mixes, bath and body

products, lotion and soap bases, bath salts, and corn cob granules. Look for

'Body Safe' on the fragrances

> I made some M & P soap last night and honestly I thought it turned out ok. I

got a great lather and it smelled and felt great until I got out of the tub and

parts not all which I found odd were blotchy red and on my face where I had

somewhat of a burning sensation. Not real bad but enough to concern me as I

don't want anyone else using my soap to have the same problem. I went to the

webpage where my FO came from and it says on there their FO's are not only

candle safe but bath and body safe as well. I'm thinking maybe to much FO? Your

thoughts. Any ideas on how to fix this skin irritation? ~ Thanks

I'm not a soap maker so maybe I shouldn't comment, but I don't use FO's in my

products, only EO's.

Call me a snob but there is growing evidence that people are more likely to have

a sensitivity or reaction to synthetics rather than natural oils, and -- more

importantly to me -- synthetics vary widely from company to company. Of course

there's variation in essential oils, too, but if I have two companies that

produce quality lavender essential oil, I feel more confident because I know

what the chemical components of what high quality lavender essential oil are

supposed to be whereas I have no clue what the ingredients in a synthetic

lavender fragrance may be and a fragrance company doesn't have to tell you

because it's a proprietary formula.

Of course, if you're using essential oils you have to do research to know which

ones create photosensitivity, etc. but research is part of the game of making

products in my opinion.

Aloha!

That fragrance may have had cinnamon and cloves in it that could have caused

the burning of your skin. I would suggest reading carefully from now on and

using EOs when possible. Lemon, grapefruit, orange, and mango have high acid

in them so EO and fragrance oils will tend to bur sensitive skin. Some scents

do not come in EO or they are too expensive so go ahead and use the cheaper

fragrance but put a little less of it in than the recipe calls for if it

needs two teaspoons full put one and a half in. I also know that melt and pour

soaps are not really the best on the skin. Often they have to much coconut oil

in them that is hard on the skin.

I suggest rebatching or making soap the old fashioned way. If you need some

home made goats milk soap for rebatching I have 10 lb extra. Email me for the

price and instructions how to use it in the easy crock pot method.

,

for my two cents' worth, I have been taught that you should NOT use

EOs and FOs - or coloring - formulated for candles and lamps for

bath products, as those EOs and FOs are harsher and may irritate some

people's skins. Try those fragrances in the bath and soap section.

They have a lot to choose from. It could be too much FO, too. Some

FO/EOs aren't meant to stay on the skin for very long.

As for the burning, I don't know what to do, except wetting a face

cloth and blotting your spots. Not sure if Cort-Aid would help ease

the burning there.

I know this is not always the case but I have several FOs that were

formulated to be used in cosmetic products that turned out to hold up

great in candles but they are usually sold by soapers sites. So I

guess it is something you have to choose your sources and ask

questions on to be sure. But since the site says it is skin safe I am

wondering what the FO is and if it might have an EO blended into it

that might cause a skin sensitivity like Cassia, clove, or peppermint?
