My question is this: Would the cinnamon bark > have been blended in or more nullified if this had been a cp or hp > handmade soap? Must I totally give up my love of cinnamon bark? on your skin? YES. You know, there's a REASON we tell folks not to use oils that are known to be both irritating and sensitizing. you did use a weak dilution. And you saw the results. Cinnamon LEAF may be safely used, in low proportions, in wash off products... in VERY low proportions. Cinnamon bark has no place in any product that will be used on the skin. I'm sorry... I don't like to snap at folks. and I'm sorry you were hurt by using it. but why do you think we talk about " safe and appropriate use " ???? > Over 10 years online supplying Aromatherapy and Healthcare Professionals Essential Oils, Hydrosols, Accessories, Hard to find Books and Videos <http://www.naturesgift.com> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
