Are you applying melted rubber on your face?

No? Are you sure? If like me, you're currently using a serum or facial oil rich in essential oils it might be time to give its packaging a closer look.

I was pretty sure my current facial oil was all clean and green... until recently when I smelled 'burnt rubber' while massaging it on my face. Eeek! For a while I thought that some of the ingredients had already gone rancid until I noticed something else. There were tiny black specks dripping from the base of the glass dropper. Apart from that, the opening rim of the bottle had a sticky dark-colored goo around it.
