Essential Oils and pregnant women

by Beverly

I am starting my own home based soap business, and while looking at the essential oils I want to incorporate into my soaps, I keep seeing warnings that pregnant women should avoid using them.

Does that mean pregnant women should not use soaps that have essential oils in them?

Answer:

I think it would probably be best for this question to be answered by a physician.

The information I have listed is from data I have compiled over the years both from reference books and from supplier sites selling the products. It is meant as a guideline only and is not meant to substitute the advice of a licensed health care professional.
