Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 << Its NOT impossible to find true Birch or Wintergreen - but it's not very likely you will because substituting Methyl salicylate at a cost of less than $5 a pound is the norm - and its not unsafe or unethical - unless the seller claims its the real thing and knows it's not. Most sellers make such claims. Do you know of any who don't make such claims? Its generally not (methinks) because they want to cheat you - they just flat don't know themselves - which I think is a shame! >> -said Butch. The new Lerbermuth catalog offers cetified organic wntergreen EO. About $15. an oz, $68 a lb. These olks come on as very reputable - in business since 1908, pictures of people working in whilte lab coats... and four grades of EOs. What do yu think, Butch or others? I would not use wintergreen in a stay-on-the-skin product, but have been thinking of making soap with it, as many love the smell. Anybody see a problem with using it this way?
