    Too much fragrance oil can cause this. I have not used activated charcoal it may also draw moisture from the air. The Olive oil contains glycerin that pulls moisture from the air.

    Anyone know of any good wholesale supplier for essential oils?

    Herbal Suppliers

    I have used Camden Grey for years and finding their oils are not true after searching for more Blue Tansy, they discontinued, now I found a page showing testing of essential oils, and the Camden Grey Blue Tansy was a fake. I am very upset. I buy their oils and do not know who I can trust.
