I am currently noticing that my throat/lungs/chest.....are feeling less and less well, and I am suspecting the use of fragrance oils. I just opened a box of newly purchased of my favorite fo's, and afterwards, found myself sniffling, congested......slightly headachey, as if cold or flu symptoms.
For months, friends have been warning me that the neverending 'cold and flu' symptoms I've been having..... may be due to inhaling toxins in the scents. I can't kid myself anymore that synthetic fragrances contain toxic substances, and over a long period of time, exposure to these can affect my health.
SOB! I love making soap, love fragrances. More than half of my soap sales come from fo-scented soap. Not everyone likes eo's, they say they are too medicinal-smelling.
What to do, what to do?......I have over a thousand dollars invested in scents in my soaproom.
