Hi Catherine,
Thanks for your concern. So far I have had no problems as far as skin
irritation. A large percentage of my client base is repeat business,
and so far so good. I use about ten drops of white camphor to two
tablespoons of henna along with the usual reciepe. Camphor is the
main active ingredient in Vick's Vapor rub(something my mother rubbed
on my chest at least 100 times growing up). It's also the main active
ingredient in such things as Ben Gay and Icy Hot so, on that premise I
assumed it would be safe in the amounts that I am using. I would
never rub the straight camphor on a client like I did to myself. When
I finish this post I will of course check out the link you posted and
adjust accordingly. I'll also have to look at the labels on these
products and see if they have any kind of warning for skin irritation.
Thank You for your help
