AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!
Only 5 EOs......what kind of torture is this???
Breath, breath, breeeeeath.
O.K. Calm now....I'll give it a go!

Patchouli
Lavender
Bergamot
Sandalwood (if I could only have 5 I could afford it, right??)
Lemongrass

But it's soooo unfair.
 
P.S. Has anyone else encountered irritation problems with Oakmoss? And what kind of concentrations of it do people use?

Hi Soapqueen

I only ever use the Oakmoss in soap, never in leave on products. It can be toxic in higher concentrations.

For soap I use at most 25 ml per 1000 g oils, less if I am blending it with other EO's. That would be quite a low percentage and I have never had any feedback that it has caused sensitivity at that level.
 
Thanks Magia, I might try some banzoin in my next batch then, it is a lovely smell.
