I noticed in the link I posted that ginger and black pepper are listed
as having terpinols. These oils must be used with caution because
they can burn the skin. If you are going to use them, use an
extremely light dilution. (Normal dilution is 12 drops per oz of
carrier oil. I would use maybe 1 or 2 drops per oz of oil and mix a
small amount of that into your henna. It's better to be too dilute
than too strong.)
