Is it safe to use a Vitamin E cream as a base for massage with Lavendar %26amp; Rosemary essential oils?
Vitamin E cream shoud be fine. Check the cream to make sure it doesn't smell rancid (a sharp bitter smell).
It's nice to use a natural oil, like jojoba or grapeseed as a base for essential oils, but if the vitamin e cream is all you have, that is acceptable. Good luck!
Reply:Yes, it's great for the skin.
Reply:It is perfectly safe, but if you want the oils to have a therapeutic effect as well as just the massage, it would be better to use an oil as a base because the absorption will be better.
Lavendar and Rosemary are fine but if you are going to use more unusual oils any time be sure to check whether they are safe if there's any possibility the woman might be pregnant. Some oils can cause miscarriage in the first trimester.
Reply:I would think so.
