I used extra virgin olive oil, but that's just because that's what I had on hand. Any kind should work, I think, since it is just a carrier, not the active ingredient.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-49766753992574212662011-10-03T14:23:25.617-04:002011-10-03T14:23:25.617-04:00Lol, the minute you said you were posting this the...Lol, the minute you said you were posting this the babyrub is what I wanted to craft with it.....that stuff is addicting when you have a cold. Nice hot bath, slather some on and enjoy a nice soak and some reading time. :)<br /><br />Gonna have to dig out my coupons for essential oils and pick up what I need at the store. In the middle of a cold right now and I think I started my homeopathic remedy too late to kick it quickly.Angela Wattshttp://iheartmaine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-58392768315899641322011-10-03T13:26:46.930-04:002011-10-03T13:26:46.930-04:00Hi!

Although if it was intentional, I might have put the lavender and rosemary in there too, since I do have those oils laying around. lolChris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-54624059812578098622011-10-02T20:57:08.589-04:002011-10-02T20:57:08.589-04:00Vicks for babies doesn't use menthol either.
