Lisa asked:


I am a licensed esthetician in Illinois, looking at starting up my own holistic skincare space. As a licensed esthetician, am I allowed to use essential oils on my clients? I can’t find anything that specifies one way or another… only stuff that says we can only work on the top layer of skin for purposes of skincare and relaxation. I don’t see how using essential oils would be any different than using a product with essential oils as an ingredient… but I was wondering if anyone knows for sure. And where can I find proof that it is or is not allowed? Thanks!

I’m trying to make my own essential oils and fragrances with different flowers. I know that most flowers can’t provide strong scents, but I’m having a hard time finding a list of which ones do. And notes on the best ways to do this with different kinds of flower.
