I haven't checked those ingredients but I wouldn't like seeing an "8"
in a product.
I did check out all the ingredients in the Deep Blue Rub and thought
some were things I'd rather not have on my body, but I don't think
there was anything higher than a "6".
Here is info on how EWG does their rating. I think it's pretty
intense.

I have never asked about DoTerra's knowledge of safety of cosmetic
ingredients - does anyone know anything about that?
I have seen their statement that they try to use only the safest
ingredients in the catalog. Is there other information somewhere
else?
