Oil ingredients
Mar 11th, 2006 at 5:37pm
 
I picked up at Body Shop this "Spa Miracle Oil" which is marketed as "complete hair, body and bath oil with Monoi de Tahiti"
The smell is very summer-y and enticing and I am very much into lovely-smelling hair.  Grin Grin
But before using it on my hair I thought to ask you, oh wise ones  Cheesy Cheesy, what do you think of the list of ingredients? ??? ???
Should I, or shouldn't I?

Well, it reads:

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Prunus dulcis, Orbignya oleifera, Cocos nucifera, Parfum, Linalool, Tocopherol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Gardenia tahitensis,  Cananga odorata,  Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Piper nigrum, Geraniol, Farnesol, Jasminum officinale, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Eugenol, Amyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Coumarin, Hydroxycitronellal, Isoeugenol.

Thanks heaps!

Oh my, I've never seen most of these.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride fractionated coconut oil
Prunus dulcis sweet almond oil
Orbignya oleifera babassu oil, beneficial
Cocos nucifera coconut palm oil
Parfum fragrance
Linalool pleasant scent, chemical used in many cosmetics apparently; I'e never seen it before.
Tocopherol Vitamin E
Hexyl Cinnamal "not assessed for safety"
Gardenia tahitensis Tahitian Monoi flower
Cananga odorata Ylang Ylang
Benzyl Benzoate used to treat lice  Shocked "Do not use benzyl benzoate on open wounds, such as cuts or sores on the skin or scalp"
Benzyl Salicylate dissolves synthetic fragrance
Piper nigrum pepper
Geraniol derived from rose oil, it smells like rose.
Farnesol a perfume
Jasminum officinale jasmine
Benzyl Alcohol
Limonene citrus rind extract
Eugenol aromatic compound, that stuff that makes cloves smell like cloves
Amyl Cinnamal probably a derivative of cinnamon
Citronellol derived from citronella
Coumarin aromatic compound, smells like vanilla
Hydroxycitronellal
Isoeugenol another aromatic compound.

Whew! I personally wouldn't use this because of the Benzyl, Hexyl compounds.

You'd be better off buying authentic Monoi, rather than a product "with" Monoi de Tahiti.

just my 2 cents Smiley
