    is it skin safe? I've had requests but not sure it is a good idea.
    Thanks,

    I love peppermint EO in lotion. I use Lillian's triple distilled.

    Peppermint in lotion is wonderful. Use sparingly, tis strong. I have customers that come back for more and more and more. It may be me, but it also seems that peppermint in the lotion helps preserve it longer above and beyond the preservative.

    What are your proportions to this? How many mls per pound of lotion? I haven't found the right amount yet.
