Hi All! I want to make a new CP recipe with a wintry scent and Camphor EO (at 0.8% of total recipe) was recommended for this recipe. I have been reading some scary things about Camphor EO, and I have kids, so I was wondering if this ingredient would be appropriate in a CP soap that our whole family would use (kids included, ages 3 and 8 ).

Also, are there any EO's I should definitely avoid in CP products kids will use?
Thanks!
 
I cannot vouch for this particular blogger, but it seems like a pretty inclusive list. http://www.usingeossafely.com/essential-oils-and-children/

There are many essential oils that should be used with caution in children, even Rosemary (which, to me, is surprising).

I have children ages 2.5 and 5, and I stopped diffusing around my kids and only soap when they are in bed at night. They do use my soaps but pretty sparingly.
