Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Yes, lemon verbena is a skin irritant. But since the real oil is so rare, it's probably just an FO in the lotion.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 According to Kathi Keville & Mindy Green " Lemon Verbena - Similar in fragrance and cost to melissa, lemon verbena is often adulterated with less expensive oils. It is used on oily complexions and for nervous indigestion. The soothing fragrance encourages both sleep and concentration. " Nope nothing there about skin irritation. Maybe the adulterated part is were the problem is. Kathy, OH - melissa 6/30/2004 3:37:08 PM skin irritants Is lemon verbena a skin irritant?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Melissa and David, Actually I have a lotion that was purchased for me as a gift from <gasp> Bath and Body Works. In this lotion, they do have Lemon Verbena Extract. It's their Purely Silk Body Lotion, Coconut Lime Verbena scent. It is listed as follows: Lippia Citriodora (Lemon Verbena) Flower Extract. Is the extract considered to be irritating? I haven't had a problem with this lotion. And had thought of trying to get an extract myself for my lotions. Anyone know?
