There are many formulations of mehalabiya oil, and some of them have
far dodgier ingredients.
Because these ingredients are rarely, if ever, listed, it is a poor
idea to use mehalabiya oil, as 1) you don't know what you're putting
on yourself or your clients that you may be allergic to and 2) dodgy,
improperly labeled stuff is going to increase the likelyhood that the
FDA will search and seize shipments.

And, OF COURSE, the prime ingredient is terpineol, and similar
terpines. (Yes, there are several less inexpensive sources of
terpineols than karvol)

To get BETTER, SAFER results than you'll get with mehalabiya oil ...
see the link below. These mixes smell better and are less likely to
cause rashes.
