Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi all, I was just looking at a website of a potential customer. They were inquiring about some of my bulk products. Anyway, I found on their site lots of cool looking products, but when I looked at the ingredients I couldn't help but gasp. They list several essential oils in the baby care line and one of them is cinnamon bark. Others include tolu balsam, styrax, geranium, cedarwood and a couple others I can't remember right now. One of the products is a balm for babies behind! I feel like I should say something but what to say and how to say it is not one of my finer abilities. I was thinking of sending an email to reference " Plant Aromatics " for one and also Martin's site, Marges site since I know those have pretty good safety info. Just looking for some help here so I don't miss out on anything or offend. I'd not want to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 It all depends on volume used, cinnamon bark oil is allowed but only in a proper cosmetic formulation with buffers. If these people are small producers then they need to know that cinnamon bark is dangerous and especially in babies. If their response is negative then send the information to the below and let them investigate: John W.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi Margaret, Have you already spoken to them by phone? What you can do if they have made an order is send them a friendly letter passing on the information. Or you could just call them up and pass it on. So far I haven't had any problems telling people when they are doing dangerous practices, many people are pretty open to knowing.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Thanks Martin! I've still not approached them yet, but will do that soon. This is certainly good information to have.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Thank you Michelle! I've not talked with them, just emails. I'm going to put some info together to pass onto them this weekend. I appreciate you sharing the below. Margaret >Hi Margaret, > >Have you already spoken to them by phone?
