Im so happy to see someone else who is suspicious of the word "natural". Im an ecologist, and trust me, natural doesnt always mean better or safer. For example, many essential oils can be harmful to pets. In fact, citrus oils can kill your cat. Even putting them into an oil diffuser can cause a pet to become very sick very quickly. Just breathing it in can cause breathing problems or vomiting, or even seizures. Plants create these oils as a natual defense against insects. A lot of these oils actually destroy the dna structure of the insect, and the strong smell is a warning to the insect that the plant is toxic. Unfortunately, the naturals industry is not as heavily regulated as the synthetic chemical industry. There hasnt been the extensive peer reviewed studies on essential oils that have been going on with synthetics since the 50's, so we dont actually know these are %100 safe. We know that lavender for instance mimics estrogen in the body. This can be very harmful for young boys, and knowing that phytoestrogens can cause breast cancer, its not a far streatch to theorize that heavy use of lavender oil can cause homorne influenced cancers. We just dont know because no one is testing it. For this reason, i wont use essential oils that are not from edible plants.

Thank you for this video. I, too, have done quite a bit of research into fragrance oils and essential oils. One of the things that concerns me greatly about synthetic fragrance oils is that one never gets a list of ingredients. That means one has NO idea what one is actually putting on one's body. None. One has no idea what chemicals are used being that the companies always say it is "proprietary". And the industry is SELF-REGULATING. That is cause for alarm. A self-regulating industry is rarely, if ever, objective. Let us keep in mind also that there are many synthetic chemicals that will not show negative consequences for 20 or so years, long past the statute of limitation for many types of lawsuits. So the companies know they are safe from the threat of being sued using many chemicals that are deemed to be unsafe in the long run. Last, but not least, I find it interesting how first, I can always tell if something is a fragrance oil or an essential oil just by smell, and second, it generally takes no more than about 20 minutes before a headache sets in when I sit in a room that is being scented by synthetic fragrance oils. There are many people affected like that by FOs. Yet I have no allergies and am a very healthy person, all around. So between having no idea what chemicals are being added to a given fragrance oil due to the claim of "proprietary information" by the company, and finding I get a headache sitting among the FOs, those are reasons enough for me to not ever use them in any of the products I make, whether lotions, soaps, shampoo, etc. I could not imagine subjecting people to all the chemicals that may be in them. And trusting the industry's self-regulation is almost comical to me. Every corporation's bottom line is profit, and most, unfortunately, have no conscience as to how it may affect the being using the product. At least with the essential oils I not only know exactly what I am getting and what chemicals comprise the oil I am using, but I am also getting the aroma therapy benefits of the oils and often the benefits of the physical healing properties as well, such as using lavender essential oil to heal skin issues. To each their own, however. I just would encourage people to really do their research before blindly trusting products where one has no idea what exactly is in them.
@HumblebeeAndMe7 жыл бұрын
Well, saying you have NO idea isn't quite accurate; if you're purchasing your FOs from a reputable supplier you should get a breakdown of some of the aroma chemicals used, but yes-many are left out as trade secrets. Your points about alarm, though... the essential oil industry is COMPLETELY self regulated, but without any sort of overseeing body like fragrance has! And don't you think EO sellers are also interested in profit? How is that not cause for alarm for EOs, but it is for fragrance? Each EO company is just regulating themselves, leaving you to trust that their oils are pure. Unless you are sending all of your EOs through a mass spec. to verify their components, the best you can say about your EOs is that you know what SHOULD be in them, and that you trust your supplier. Diluted and adulterated (often with synthetic fragrance chemicals) EOs are not at all uncommon (facebook.com/EssentialOilUniversity/), and given the high price of the source material, one could argue EO sellers have quite a lot of motivation to dilute the pure product with something less expensive and increase their profit margin-and there is nothing stopping them from doing so, and very little that would allow the consumer to figure that out. I definitely know that many people do not tolerate fragrance well; personally, I find it much stronger that I tend to prefer, and in high concentrations it'll give me a headache, too. I also find them to be quite obvious-the strength and duration of the scent is usually the dead giveaway. Now, I don't have a horse in this race-I don't care what you use, I'm not trying to sell you MLM essential oils-but I do think it's interesting that many of your causes for alarm are equally applicable to the EO industry.
@soapsblyslyo13795 жыл бұрын
Hi Lisa - hopefully you will see this, even though your post was 2 years ago. When I started making soap 8+ years ago, many of my friends and co-workers said they could not tolerate anything with scent in it...but when they tried my soap, they could! Some have eo's, some have fo's....what I learned was that what they couldn't tolerate was all the scented stuff you can get at Bath & Body works (I can't either) and several other stores where people shop and get cheap soap or lotions...why? Because these places use cut-rate, adulterated eo's and fo's. (I have found some very reputable suppliers that I buy high quality, unadulterated eo's & fo's.) So you get what you pay for. (Sadly when in a crowded room or airplane, everyone (including me) has to tolerate all the people that wear this junk - too strong perfume, lotion, deodorant. I get sick from it too.) Hope this is helpful. Sly

@@HumblebeeAndMe You know, I was just thinking, after so long a time formulating, creating, and shipping product, I would think you have, to a certain degree, come to associate particular fragrances with the products and the tasks surrounding them, rather than the fragrances evoking an emotion or feeling you would otherwise experience. Since you stated that a decent part of it was negative, then those scents may bring to mind those feelings of stressful tension. I am just surmising, of course, but it makes perfect sense, to me, that you felt that way. Many years ago, when I was a teenager and worked for a couple of months at one of the big hamburger chains, I could not bring myself to eat there again for the following 2+ years, because just the smell of it got to me. I know it is none of my business, but I am curious, do you feel the same way, weirded out, now that you are free of your burden and happier?

I haven't been able to find much reputable information on this; most of the sources are very fear-mongery "CHEMICALS ARE EVIL" type blogs that don't reference reputable studies. From what I can find, it seems like phthalates are the main concern, and many FOs are now phthalate-free (all the ones from New Directions Aromatics are). From further reading it also seems like avoiding phthalates is pretty much impossible as they're in pretty much everything and not always clearly labelled: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/feb/10/phthalates-plastics-chemicals-research-analysis.

This one's a bit tricky. Yes, many of the chemicals that make up essential oils are quite volitile, and heat exposure can damage them or cause them to dissipate. However, we also have to dilute them to use them safely, and in order to do this in a product that will be solid, the EOs must be added while it's still liquid. So... aim for about the coolest you can get before adding them, after you've removed the pan from the heat. Extended heat is much more damaging than added while hot and then immediately cooled. Hope that helps!

I do commend Lush for their transparency about ingredients. I find EOs effective and relaxing for bedtime and I like FOs as a regular fragrance (preferring oils to sprays lately as I’ve developed a skin sensitivity to alcohol denat). Just read the comment about lavender being considered as an estrogen disruptor as most EO oil blends contain lavender. A bit horrified as I’m dealing with symptoms of hormonal imbalance😱

If the FO is labeled as skin safe then yes, you can use it. Ask the soap makers who use FO. Btw, I'm from PH too😊

I always link all the ingredients for any given formulation in the blog post, which is linked in the description box below the video (that's one of the many reasons I highly suggest reading the blog post as well as watching the video! If you're not sure what I mean by the "description box", read this: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/whats-the-description-box-on-youtube/.). Sometimes those links break because they're always off-site links, or sometimes the store I've linked to isn't in your country. That's why I also have a giant page of places to shop all over the world, which you can find here: www.humblebeeandme.com/resources/. It doesn't have every country in the world, but it does contain all the online stores I know about. If your country isn't listed, that's because I don't know about any online stores in your country. You could try looking for a local Facebook group for people who like making soap & other cosmetics-they may be able to recommend places to shop. And for some more discussion on ingredients, I recommend these FAQs: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/why-dont-you-only-use-ingredients-that-are-easily-available-globally/ www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/what-ingredients-should-i-purchase-when-getting-started/ www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/is-there-one-place-i-can-buy-everything/ www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/why-do-you-use-so-many-new-fancy-hard-to-get-ingredients/

What is the shelf life of fragrance oils vs essential oils?
@HumblebeeAndMe7 жыл бұрын
It varies; up to two years for each, though you'd do best to check with your suppliers. That said, they don't spoil like a carrier oil will-they break down and become weaker over time, and the scent may change as certain constituents break down.

Very well explained! So I’m guessing there is no such “all naturals” or “100% natural” toiletries and beauty products? Unless you soak the rose petals in water or boil it and ta daa “ rose water” sure there’s no chemicals there, is there? 🤔
@HumblebeeAndMe6 жыл бұрын
"All natural" will depend on how you define "natural", but it certainly doesn't mean safe (www.humblebeeandme.com/lets-talk-natural/) or effective (www.humblebeeandme.com/natural-efficacy-fallacy-natural-shaming/). There's definitely no such thing as chemical free skin care, though-the water in your example is a chemical! But again-just as natural does not mean safe, chemical does not mean unsafe.

Interesting topic. There's a company whose essential oils I've been using for a few years, whom also have fragrance oils in the same flavours. I'm going to be experimenting with fragrances over the next few months, so I must rememeber to write to them and ask them why their fragrances are half the price of their essentials.

It's a pretty simple reason: fragrances can be synthesized in a lab. There's no need to grow a crop, tend to it, harvest it, ship it to a still, and go from there :) Happy experimenting!

I've been working with essential oils for over 15 years. I used, and still use, them for therapeutic reasons. When I make some things, that are fun for people to use, I use fragrance oils. Any one who to work with essential oils responsibly needs to now what each oil dose to the body including how to dilute it. I don't want for people to use only synthetics, but essential oils used to be part of natural pharmaceuticals (way before pills were created). Just be responsible and always read Contra-indications. Believe it or not, it is so interesting and easy to know about the sent that you like or want to use. You'll be hooked at no time. LOL! It really is easy and fun.
@HumblebeeAndMe6 жыл бұрын
I've used EOs for much longer than FOs, but the more I learn about EOs the easier FOs seem to be to work with as they are much less likely to have extremely low maximum usage rates or contra-indications. I'll often choose FOs when I want a scent for some sort of experiment but I don't want to spend the time looking up maximum safe usage rates for every single one and calculating maximum allowable concentrations of potential allergens :P And FOs are available in some really lovely scents, too!

@@HumblebeeAndMe I'm so Sorry! I was not commenting on your videos and use of essential oils. Some people reacted too egor to use them, thinking that it's a "natural fragrance". Oh, please, forgive me! Don't give up on essential oils. If you'd like an easy cheat sheet, it's ease. 6-12drops per oz. Lesser side for face. Citrus family can also be irritating to the skin. Light oil, like Lavende, Mint family, can be up to 50% of your formulations. Toxic Tea Tree, Clove family an few others 1drop per 1oz. Resins: 1 "blob", LOL, is safe. Liquid form of Resins (water extraction) 2-3drops per 1oz. Sorry, that I didn't make myself clear. I really appreciate your time to make videos and look forward to notification of new one. I learn something new every time. You are not only abundance of knolege, you are also an abundance of positive you can do it, it's fun, personality. What you do and how you are doing it....

Im sensitive to smells, but since I started making things (hand sanitizer, sprays) I'm even more sensitive to store bought stuff now because theres a stench i can smell in the store bought stuff that I don't smell in my stuff.. so I do think there is something to being less sensitive to one more than the other. The craziest fragrance oil i smelled was at a festival and it was dirt, i don;t know why they had dirt fragrance but it smelled just like dirt. Weird, but pretty cool. I wouldn't buy it but was still neat they could do that. Btw, i love smelling like cotton candy, wear it all the time, no one has ever had a problem with it like other perfumes, it's a pretty non-offensive smell.

Watergirl 007, well.. when you notice a rash that is red then becomes scaly and it hurts, you are curious what is causing it... because something it’s affecting your skin. Whether it’s a reaction, sensitivity, it’s affecting you in an unpleasant way. That’s how I found out it was mineral oils in eyeshadows... I also figured the same mineral oil was causing me to have acne breakouts on my face. On the eyelid it was pretty bad... acne it’s something no one wants to have so yeah if one uses 15 different products on their face from washing to makeup, they want to make sure one ingredient it’s not going to mess up their skin. Also gluten it’s a big one for me, very strong reaction internally and I do have a breakouts almost like blisters on my face. So should I take a chance on using anything with it on my face, I’m not willing to take that chance. That’s where making my own products comes in handy.
