macyboutique Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Are fragrance oil 100% natural oil? I am asking because one guy in my class said that his oil is 100% natural and a person does not have to worry about being allergic or breaking out or anything b/c his oil does not have additives in them. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ummm I can't imagine his oil would be good for anything but rubbing on himself. Just my thought EOs are as natural as you're going to get, along with infusing oil with fresh herbs. FOs, uh uh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Fo's are generally a blend of natural & synthetic oils. Eo's are extracted directly from natural botanicals. As far as being safe & not creating an allergic reaction ... that's a lofty claim. Poison Ivy & Cedar are both 100% natural, but they sure do send me into a tailspin!Susan.

macyboutique Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I did not think that was true, but i just wanted some info from the pros here. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Yeah he's blowing smoke up you know where!! Even EO's which are about as natural as you can get have to be used with caution because of sensitivities, allegies, etc. and some can be very dangerous if used full strength on the skin.

blazerina Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 In fact, most all EO's are dangerous to use on your skin. Many are for inhaling, or bathing, wash off products, and generally adding to things because there are many volatile/active oils in them. You could make fragrance oil from eo's and a carrier, but this is an expensive and very limited way to go generally. As Sioux and Chris mentioned 'natural' in NO WAY means 'non allergenic'. That's crazy. Perhaps he thinks or meant because he uses a non-not source of carrier oil they are safe for that common allergy in general.I'd be asking him to state his resources of his research and 'lab test' results. :rolleyes2 Then ask if his insurance has claimed to stand by him on the matter. Ok... I'll stop. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
