Calling all Spray Lanolin/Lanolin Soap/Liquid Lanolin Users

[twinmama]

It's come to my attention lately that some users of the above mentioned products may experience colour bleeding/running that is caused by the essential oil/fragrance added to the product. I'm trying to determine whether it's fragrant oils or essential oils that do this, or if their are any particular bad scents that cause this issue. So can anyone who uses the above products and has experienced colour running, either pm me or post here. Hopefully then I can come up with some sort of list of scents to use with caution.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Mods I hope this is ok to post here?

oh thats interestng julie. i've had no probs with my 'satin sheets' spray lanolin, BUT i dont use it over dyed nappies really, only print ones.....AND i know the wool in the longies bree wears is dyed properly/colourfast (by katanya, my baabums) and possum pouches ones, no food dye ones or anything....

[twinmama]

I'm actually talk more when doing the actual wash/lanolise - see your colours bleed then, or seeing blue/red/green water IYKWIM?

Me - The Northern Essence Warm Vanilla Sugar ruined my Baabums.

oh. wouldnt that be more to do with how the wool is dyed and the colours (red??) rather than the additives/fragrances?? you need to do a test with ONE type of longies, with a few different types of lanolin

Never had a problem with the warm apple pie I bought from you but then I don't have any hand dyed wool yet either.

probably Joh - I have put it down to the wool wash in this case, though.
Woollies that I had washed heaps of times before have colour residue in the water after using this wool wash, even a pair made with commercial wool. It was unfortunate that the Baabums were the first pair I washed with this wool wash and had left them soaking for ages resulting in the colour leeching badly.
I still wash with it (not my Baabums) but don't leave things to soak for too long.

and would it depend on the water temp, cold,warm, too warm, etc.
i usually use warm water and lanisol, and supermarket wool wash, and get a very light pinkish tinge to the water - but i honestly think its just the way the water looks from the bucket somehow, as when i empty the bucket it looks clear.
never had a prob with spay on lanolin...

Oh - just to add, I have never had a problem with my spray lanolin.
