Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hello! I've been reading lots of aromatherapy books lately and making melt & pour glycerin soaps for a few months. I can't seem to find an answer to this question: Do contraindications for essential oils apply to soapmaking? Do the usual EO warnings only matter for direct internal/external use or application? If I make rosemary soap, for example, must it be labeled with all the Rosemary EO warnings? (that's " Do not use during pregnancy, lactation, breastfeeding, or on children under 2 years. Avoid using with epilepsy, fever, or high blood pressure. Keep out of reach of children. May irritate sensitive skin. " ) Or is it enough to give the full ingredient list and use the phrase " Warning - The safety of this product has not been determined. DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT. For external use only! " I don't want to be either overly paranoid or too skimpy with information. But I'm also just a home soapier who is looking to donate well-made and well-labled products to charities and shelters as a service project. Thanks, Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
