Unfortunately for us here in the US, we have some very powerful

companies (P & G) who have total control over the Cosmetic industry.

They do this by buying out their competition basically. While the FDA

looks the other way.

 

How are we even to believe when they label the ingredient an Essential

Oil that it's not a Fragrant Oil? There is quite a bit of difference.

Of course people with allergies can have a serious anaphylactic

reaction from Fragrance Oils and also to Essential Oils. So NEITHER

should be added haphazardly to all cosmetics. DOH Can anybody here me?

Why would anyone believe the company that produces an EO to do an

honest test?

 

" The team from Givaudan, a global producer of fragrance and flavours,

used EpiDerm samples, a human cell-derived skin model, in order to

test the anti-irritant effects of the fragrance materials. "

 

Give me a break!

21/09/2007 - Antiperspirant manufacturers should exploit the

anti-irritant activity of essential oils and fragrance raw materials in

their formulations, according to a new study.

 

The study, published in the latest issue of the International Journal of

Cosmetic Science, investigated the effect of a wide range of fragrance

raw materials on skin irritation, concluding that their inclusion into

personal care products could improve product mildness.

 

Essential oils are widely used in the cosmetics industry for their

odoriferous properties, however, according to the authors, in the past

they were commonly used in traditional remedies for their functional

properties.
