Will do a skin test as you say and keep that option for myself open into week 2.I still really like the idea of non body oil after showering each day. I love ultraceuticals body treatment oil and want to use it in conjunction with sorbolene. I saw you used hemp oil with essential oils with good result.Am following up with ultraceuticals and will let people know any feedback on use in our setting.
