Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

I found somewhere that eucalyptol is incompatible with almond oil since almond oil contains oxidases and therefore eucalyptol will break down; Do I have to replace almond oil with eg. Paraffin oil?

Answer

If this information is correct then almond oil is not a good solvent for eucalyptol and the changeover to a mineral oil is desirable.
