kyra_ojosverdesAnyone out there have it? I'd like to burn candles in the front office at work, but one woman (that I know of) is sensitive to many fragrances.
Does anyone know if natural scents (ya know, from natural oils as opposed to synthetic chemical stuff) make a difference for fragrance sensitivity?
Does anyone know of a source for candles made with natural ingredients? I'd love to find some soy-wax candles which are scented with natural oils.
(In other 'natural oil' news, I used some calendula baby oil to clean off the mascara that I'd applied last night. Now my eyes are all puffy and a little irritated. I Googled calendula, and it's used widely to *reduce* eye puffiness and irritation, so maybe I have a specific sensitivity to the stuff.)
