Aloe prob OK: Aloe probably safe due to minimal dose in chapstick and since it is only applied to skin. See: http://j.Mp/ysqmib and http://j.Mp/ysqch6 for comments about aloe. Regarding rosemary leaf, there may be a risk. "rosemary should not be used by pregnant women or women who wish to become pregnant." per http://j.Mp/ysrbrr . Talk to your OB about both aloe and rosemary.
