I know this came up on another thread but it was a bit of a hijack and not quite the same issue discussed.
Had some oils which I found dubious and returned. Happy I now have some 100% proper stuff. Have had a play under some guidance and following a little research but it seems like the warnings are always around do not go over around 3% eo to witch hazel. The issue I am finding is that witch hazel has a very individual smell as you will know; almost animal like, and not in a pleasant way. The % oil I am adding changes that but I still get an underlying ( or is it over lying ) whiff of the original witch hazel. There are a few sources around that deal with this but what do you guys use? Have seen suggestions regarding adding glycerin and aloe vera to oils and WH with a splash of tea tree and so it goes on./ . Just trying to keep it basic but do not want to go overboard with the oil which can apparently have adverse effects on the skin. Need to get rid of the badger's ar*e whiff on the WH though./
