doglvr Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Does anyone have a good sinus relief scent like Vick's? I used to get mine at ME and I've tried Nature Garden's, but I can't get it strong. RE has Avalanche, but it's been out of stock forever. Maybe there's a way to blend it? Thanks so much for any help!JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Glenn Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi! Wholesale Supplies Plus (www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com) has "Crafter's Choice Sinus EO & FO Blend 583" and it is very, very strong. Hope this helps you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think Vicks contains camphor and eucalyptus, both essential oils. (Not totally sure but that is what sticks in my brain) You can buy them at a variety of essential oil suppliers if you think you'd like to try making your own blend.

judys Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I use Eucalyptus and Spearmint eo's and people swear by it for sinus relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I can't believe I've never run across this supplier. Wow, their oils are pricey! Have you tried any others there? I've never worked with an EO with FO in it. Do you still use the one ounce per pound rule? Thanks for the tip!JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doglvr Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I actually think I might have both so I'm going to try this as well. Maybe I can find camphor of some kind to throw in. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I make my own with a mix of Peppermint, Spearmint & Euclyptus EO's and melt some menthol crystals in there. Works like a charm & super strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip!JBJust remember when making your own (as well as purchasing pre-made) that the mints, menthol crystals and (I believe) camphor in total will cause serious skin irritation. Use .50 of an ounce per pound of oils is the maximum when making cp soap. Adding too much will make everyone bathing scream like mad.

I'd probably try Ebay first as you'll probably get them a lot cheaper. Just throw them in the hot wax and they melt just fine, stir and pour. Have fun!!

blacktieaffair Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I had to keep a full stock of Peppermint and Eucalyptus year round for sinus's customers. I was using 4794 in melts at 1:1 . I did it in TP's and they last forever ! Great CT. Also used it in some lotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
