Darbla Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I know you're supposed to dilute FOs before using as perfume, but do any of you skip that step when you're using it for yourself? I've been dabbing on a little straight Coconut Lemongrass all Summer with no ill effects, and now I'm thinking of using Love Spell the same way. Maybe I just have tougher skin than most?

Carrie Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Most FO's aren't recommended at higher than 3% and that is mixed with other oils/butters etc. It's your skin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I put this in the wrong dang forum. Could a mod move this to Bath, Body & Cosmetics, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 FOs and EOs straight make my skin itch. Lavender so far is the only one that doesn't, but it's still a fine line for me there. Geranium makes me itch like mad, so do FOs, even if I just touch the outside of the bottle where a teeny drip ran down the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I guess I'm just lucky and have tougher skin than usual (knock on wood!). I used Tony's 'Love Spell' uncut this week, and unfortunately I get that awful chemically, burnt plastic note straight like that, which makes me fear that anyone close enough to me to smell it is also getting that awful note. My overly sensitive nose picks that up in almost all FOs though, even in finished products, but do the rest of you find that mixing them into finished products reduces that?Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 When I do, I can only use the oils that I have that are said by the mfg to be 100% skin safe, not soap safe, but skin safe.I have I think 6...I have people that are very sensitive to everything but they can use these straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
