Hello Perry!
-
When I add a specific % of essential oil into a formula, I think the quantity of grams of the plant were used to produce the % of oil I want to add.For example if one plant has a yield of 2% of essential oil in the distillation process, this means it is used a high volume of the plant to produce a few milliliters of essential oils, for this reason when I formulate with essential oils I used only a few drops. Citrus oils I used only in shampoo, not for skin.

Hi, Perry thank you very much for the link. By the way: Have a Happy New Year! About this issue, I used cream and soap with lavender since 2006. The cream for my skin I stopped using in 2011 because my dermatitis is calm. But I still using soap. Each end of the year for terms of my private medical care I need to make a global analysis of my health. My profile hormones were ok (November 2019) only an issue about my level of glucose now in control. I haven´t a hormonal effect of lavender e.o. also I never use in pure form on my skin, the same for the rest of e.o. I use only in very low percentages in my formulations. It is hard to say about what is sure and what isn´t sure to use. Recently I read the complete document of the case of study of phenoxyethanol, by SCCS, I was thinking it was a very safe preservative, but now I´m not sure. Really all is a risk, it depends on the percentages and the frequency of use.Also, I want to thank you to give you all this platform to exchange ideas and experience. You are the best.This is the link to phenoxyethanol SCCS review.

Both. I stopped to use dermatology medicines on my skin, since 2006, because I started to make my own creams, and soaps, all with lavender e.o. It was very difficult to buy a “real” lavender e.o. there are many false and adulterated in the market. Now my cousin in France sends me directly from the factory to me in Mexico. But I think in the U.S.A. people can get very good quality. I send a sample of the e.o. at that moment for chromatography, the test was o.k. but this analysis is expensive. I learned about essential oils in my master degree, I developed an intelligence artificial control in distillation equipment, then chromatography was very useful for my work.

I buy only 100% pure essential oils, direct from the distillation factory. Lavender e.o. works very well for my dermatitis. This is only my opinion and experience, really the use of synthetic fragrance is cheaper, but for me is a toxic way. I tested many synthetic fragrances on my skin, and 100% of them cause allergies. The same for the shampoo, many allergies with Pantene for example, then I make my own shampoo with grapefruit essential oil and no allergies on my scalp. I respect formulators that use synthetic fragrances, but I can´t use them. Lavender essential oils have many scientific studies around the world about the properties. This is my opinion and experience. I use not only like a fragrance, but I also use it like an active. Have a great day.

Hola Belassi.
Si conozco a la compañía que mencionas. Yo antes compraba con ellos pero ya sentí que al final la calidad estaba muy diluida, así que ya hago los míos. Como eres de México te puedo dejar mejor precio. Si gustas me escribes a mi correo de pure_soap@hotmail.com para darte precios nacionales. Un saludo Belassi, que ya sabemos todos que eres excelente formulador. -
