Rosemary is an all-around pleasing aroma in body care formulations like lotion, deodorant, and soaps. Mixed with peppermint oils it can be added to shampoo and conditioner to stimulate the scalp. In facial serums it can help balance oily skin with other oils like neroli and frankincense. Combine rosemary, wintergreen, and camphor to use in massage oil for occasional aches.
Before using perform a small patch test on your inner forearm or back. Apply a small quantity of diluted essential oil and cover with a bandage. If you experience any irritation use carrier oil or cream to further dilute the essential oil, and then wash with soap and water. If no irritation occurs after 48 hours it is safe to use on your skin.
