[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 328804, member: 1991"] Agreed, GN. Vegetable oil in any form. Like the vinegar I use in the laundry, the cheapest and simplest is generally the best. Save the expensive stuff for the salad. Be careful with the rosemary oil, make sure it says "essential oil" and not "perfumed oil" or "massage oil". Although massage oil would be OK, but it's usually a sing they've diluted it, and you don't know what with. Or sometimes it's a substitute. Mostly though, they do this with the more expensive essential oils like rose oil. Lavender oil and rosemary oil are among the cheapest essential oils (so is ti-tree, or melaleuca, and eucalyptus oil). Actually, ti-tree oil would also be really good in the mix - added on its own or with rosemary oil, ti-tree reduces inflammation, is antifungal and mildly antiseptic. It's also sold in Australia as a natural treatment for head lice although in my experience it won't work well enough, we were dabbing it on difficult child 3's head for months and he caught head lice while we were treating him for an ongoing scalp wound.
