Wanting to start making my own whipped body butter and looking for essential oils that are skin safe. Pretty simple recipe, just shea butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and arrowroot powder to combat greasiness. I know to stay away from highly citric oils like lemon and lime, but I'm still worried about the safety of using other essential oils because most warn against direct skin contact. Is the dilution enough to deem most other oils skin safe? Anything I should completely steer clear of? I'd also love any fragrance combo suggestions. Found a few that I wanna try but I'm completely new to this so any advice is appreciated!

I haven't been feeling great for a few days, just dealing with a lot of congestion and a sore throat. Started coughing the other day and my voice got hoarse, then yesterday I completely lost my voice. I haven't been straining it too much, been drinking hot tea and staying hydrated. Since last night I'm trying to stay on vocal rest. The issue is that I work retail, which makes this realllllllly inconvenient. I can't afford to miss a ton of work but can't really help much with customer service. I'm also a manager so it's harder to get people to cover my shifts anyway (I know they're required to, just feel bad making the same person work overtime for me every day). Are there any remedies that will actually help my voice come back quickly?
