My bottles say "Geranium bourbon: Geranium graveolens, source:
Reunion"
and "Geranium: Geranium graveolens, source: Egypt"
That may not be much help.
The Geranium Bourbon is lighter, the Egyptian one is earthier. I adore
them both! I also love the geraniol molecule!
Wyndemere is:
Wyndemere Naturals Inc,
Minneapolis, Mn.
1-800-207-8538.
Do I hear a stampede to get wholesale information from them?

Honest to goddess ... if I were actually running a henna business, I'd
start testing mixes TODAY, come up with wonderful combinations .. and
sell henna powder and essential oils (separatly), with suggested
combinations. (the FDA has no problem with selling henna NOT
PRE-MIXED). Jani henna has it absolutely right ... to sell henna and
the terpineol separatly.
Remember, too ... essential oils belong in the refrigerator! They'll
demise worse than henna!

If that FDA "clamp down on pre-mix" concept is tricky to understand
... here's a parallel ... you must have licensing to run a bakery and
sell bread, get inspections and go through all sorts of constraints.
However ... you can sell flour, yeast, salt and water with far less
difficulty, and just hand people the bread recipe free! That's how
the FDA works, and if you look back at what *used* to go into food and
drugs, you'll want to hug them! The FDA regs are there for very good
reasons.

So .. I'm NOT running a henna business, but if you ARE .... give this
a think. The information on the Sirius Mixes, plus all the links Niko
put up to terpines is the key to getting past praying that your tubes
of pre-mix don't get shitcanned by the FDA on the way in through
customs. Get informed ... get legal ... stay legal .... do miraculous
henna SAFELY!

No more secrets, eh? They're just not very helpful in the greater
scheme of things.
