In addition, the skin irritation and skin sensitization of products were tested by using the Kligman maximization method. Seven essential oils were used as an active ingredient in the formula. Six carrier oils were used as a carrier oil in the formula. Tests of odor preference and odor acceptance of products were investigated in sixty-one consumers. The products were evaluated the preliminary physical stability in terms of color, smell, rancidity, viscosity, and precipitation, for a period of eight weeks. In addition, thirty consumers participated in the satisfaction evaluation. The results showed that consumers gave the most preference and acceptance to a blended essential oil preparation 1 (BEOP1) which composed of rosemary, lavender, patchouli, eucalyptus, and peppermint oils. The consumers gave an overall satisfied with carrier oil formulas which consisted of sweet almond, grape seed, avocado, jojoba oils, and macadamia oils.
