  • Do some essential oils cause creams/lotions to thicken MORE than others?

    Keeping all things the same, and only varying the essential oil:

     Has anyone noticed that some essential oils cause a cream/lotion to thicken more than others? 
     If you have noticed this, which ones caused more thickening?

    I’ve seen it more as some fragrance oils reduce viscosity more than others, but I haven’t kept records on it - there are too many variables.
