Rhubarb would be appropriate for toilet roll scent: I remember my grandfather growing it & running out into the road with a spade to pick up the horse-droppings from passing drays to use as fertilizer for his rhubarb. 🤣
How?
I had the tesco coconut oil loo paper as a substitute on my online order a while a ago. It smelled lovely, but there wasn't much difference otherwise. Paper should be ok & they wouldn't risk not testing it before selling🤷♀️
The fragrances and colourants contain multiple ingredients that can cause irritation or allergic reactions and alter the pH balance of the vulva, causing thrush, vaginosis or urethritis. Even bleached loo roll can set some people off.
Also, it's awful for the environment. 😕
I was a writer for the cosmetics trade and we dealt a lot with chemical regs. There are multiple safety levels for skincare products - products that remain on the skin have to undergo stricter testing than wipe-off or wash-off products, and products designed for babies have higher safety regs than
products for adults. The highest rating is for leave-on products for the nappy area - those are usually very inert. Regs constantly have to be tightened when results show that consumers are getting reactions to ingredients (red hair dye is a case in point). Products

How long before they introduce turmeric & ginger... They seem to be in everything else 🤔🫢
Fortunately I am old and so always have a (non fragrant) tissue in my cardigan pocket.
Thank you for the laugh.

I'm pretty careful about what I use so this is helpful.
