Uggh. Lavendar. *shudder* I'm none too fond of floral-y stuffs, though I've been known to cave in for tiger lily scented fragrance oil. Rarely, though.
Actually, my hand lotion (the one I have handy here at work) doesn't have aloe. :) It consists of: Spring water, moisturizing oils (evening primrose, sweet almond, peach kernel), vegetable stearic acid, essential oils (sweet orange, bay rum), emulcifying wax, bicarbonate of soda, grapefruit seed extract (all natural preservative).
I was thinking about all this awhile back, when looking at the labels on my Amaranthe stuff, and wondering if it would start triggering reactions, were I around you. I very clearly remember that your home is a no-scent home, but I wasn't sure how that carried over to essential oils. I know that synthetics are a huge no-no. :)
