Hi all,
I'm new here, and have been a bit of a lurker for a bit. Though I don't sell the casual soaps and lotions I make, I do dabble. I have a bit of a stumper, though.
I purchased a lotion recently that is supposed to help with varicose veins but it has rosemary oil in it. When I rub this stuff on, it smells like Vick's Vapor Rub. I'm supposed to use it twice daily and I don't want to go to work smelling like Vick's. It does make my legs feel better, but...the smell...ugh.
I have some lime essential oil that I put into a mixture on my hand, but it did not do the job. Not only that, it caused the lotion to smell a bit waxy. Maybe citrus breaks down some of the ingredients?
is there anything out there that neutralizes the camphor-like smell?
