Welcome to the list and thanks for the nice comments .. glad you found some

information that was of some value to you.

Its on the way as soon as I hit Send on this post. :-) Because you are a

seller of products rather than an end user (as evidenced by your web site

link below) you are authorized to purchase EO from my Wholesale link.

 

For the new folks .. this applies to you too. But if you write me please

let me know that you are a seller .. if not then I will just have to write

you back and ask. ;-) I can't allow end users to purchase the larger

volumes of EO at Wholesale because if I did that .. my Wholesale customers

(who are retailers ) would tar and feather me .. and they would be justified

in doing so.

 

You don't need to provide your tax ID or business license number, etc. That

is between you and your state .. unless .. the order is to be shipped to an

address in Maryland. Because we operate out of Maryland we would then have

to record this information .. or charge the 5% MD sales tax.

Because .. water is full of bugs .. and the volume (percentage) of MOST

essential oils to be used in a lotion would be too small to be totally

effective .. if that were not the case then the volume would be too high ..

the lotion would be too strong as far as odor and safety goes. I know that

different folks from time to time come on line and announce that this or

that company has created a brand new, guaranteed to not rust, bust or

collect dust .. ALL NATURAL .. preservative. I ain't buying that they have

an all natural preservative that has been proven to be safe for dermal

application. Until I am presented with credible information that proves

that such a preservative exists .. I am going to continue to be convinced

that all lotions, cremes, etc., that are safe .. are not all natural ..

because they must have a synthetic preservative in them.

Antioxidants are used to delay rancidity .. nopreservatives are used to

inhibit (sometimes destroy) micro biological growth.
