Are any of you familiar with Liberty Natural for essential oils?
I'm planning to make some soap favors for a baby shower, and so I'm researching oils that are safe in soap for new mamas. A friend of mine who works in the essential oils biz informed me of this:
"Many oils on the market are cut with awful chemicals like dicetone alcohol (the same stuff that we use to make brake fluid). if they are cut with this stuff, then they may be reconstituted...meaning they are not even plant material and instead a fragrance made in a lab. it sounds crazy, but there is no regulation that says that you can't sell a reconstituted oil as a "pure essential oil".
Eew!
