My health specialist advises me against lavender essential oils because it may induce contractions. If I am pregnant, can I use the Body Butter even if it contains lavender essential oils?
Lavender oil contains between 15 and 30% camphor, the irritant element. The oil must be taken orally during pregnancy et can be irritating for concentrations of 1 to 30%. The Shea Body Butter contains 1,1% lavender oil: so very minor possibility of irritation and practically impossible of being absorbed to the uterus. The specialist did give a correct advice but did not know the concentration of the product.
