In reply to: answer - and another question posted by samantha on August 17, 2001 at 17:42:36:

Baby oil is a petroleum product that not only has a high allergy rate
but is generally uhealthful for the skin in general. Also, petroleum
products, baby oil, sunscreens, petroleum jelly - vasoline, aside
from being bad for your skin will cause your henna stain to go south,
and fast. The petroleum ruins stains.

Ask kids if they are allergic to balloons, band-aids, or even bananas
(that will give you a clue that there may be a real and serious risk
for this person.)
I tried a 1 inch design on my belly and coated it in latex to see how
well it worked and left it on 4 hours. i am only mildly allergic, more
like irritated by latex but I had a red welt on my tummy for 8 days
afterword.
I love using the micropore paper tape, it's hypo-allergenic so most
often latex sensitive people are okay with it, just check. The weekend
I did use latex however, I had my assistant apply it to people and in
the end, 200 folks later we actually decided though it's convenient
lemon-sugar or tape is better.
We had lots of the peeling up and it seemed that no air was able to
get to the paste so it wasn't oxidizing at all, ie darkening. Very
troubling....
I hope some of this is useful

He said to rub in baby oil - the clear stuff. It starts to breack down
the compounds in Latex which makes it come off eaiser..
