honey.... some of your new oats....does the powdered honey dissolve readily
in water
Yes, and yes, it's great! But doesn't come close to the real thing :) I
did eye the canned goat's milk in the store today wondering how it could be
preserved in a liquid milk bath?

Hi Marge and all,
I currently sell such a product and it sells very well for me. My "Soothing
Soak" contains Powdered Milk, Powdered Buttermilk, Powdered Goat's Milk,
Powdered Oats and Powdered Honey (plus a few other ingredients). It
dissolves nicely in the bath and feels nice to the skin.
Perfect for a cold winter's night! <G

Dave, you need to do like the rest of us and grow it only on one side of
your face. The same goes for hair for testing shampoo. Just make sure when
you have your photo taken it is the profile.

Thanks, Dee. It was the "soothing" description that made me wonder. I'm
particularly interested in how to write appropriate descriptions as I'm in
the process of creating a website now and don't want to write inappropriate
descriptions. I have to say, it's pretty hard since the things we make DO
feel soothing and helpful, lol.
For example, I recently made a lipbalm that does not cause my lips to shred
and peel the way commercial lip balms do... obviously, there's something in
commercial products (no matter which brand; I've tried them all) that my lips
can't tolerate.
So, how could I word my product that wouldn't be in violation of labeling
laws??

Ah, but Dave, do you have a beard? A quick glance at the photos
section indicates this is de rigeur for at least 66% of cosmetic
chemists on this list...! Even Pat has this qualification :-)
Lovely to hear a professional rate experience as being as important as
study.

<<<<Coconut in excess in soap can be
irritating and drying to the skin,...
This is a myth. Coconut and Palm Kernel
clean sebum from the skin, while other oils
do not. That is why it *may* feel drying in
higher amounts, but if one balances out the
properties of the oils (in other words adding
the correct oils to replace this loss of self
conditioning sebum) then one can use these oils
in high percentages and not get this drying
effect.

I'm pretty sure it's been posted here multiple times, Dee - did you
look in the archives?

Maurice,
I'm impressed with your soul as well as your knowledge:)) Nope, not sucking
up, just saying so. I envy you. I would love to wake up in the morning and go
to work thinking, today I get to help make it easier for someone to feel
better about themself or how they are treating their bodies.
Very cool. Kudos to your career too.

Hey Jenny,
Interesting how people have a different "take" on what is presented on ones
web site.
I am wondering if perhaps all those things listed are perhaps ingredients
that are not necessarily "toxic", but may have been shown to be an irritant
or can cause an adverse skin reaction. Coconut in excess in soap can be
irritating and drying to the skin, while lots of people could easily be
allergic to cocoa butter, silk, beeswax, lanolin etc. and have those
ingredients cause an adverse effect to the skin. Some ingredients may
contain manufacturing byproducts that "may" contain a toxin. And I have read
that certain chemicals can react to many things therefore rendering it
"toxic".
To bring to ones attention that caution should be taken when purchasing skin
care products. Caution should be taken when formulating your own skin care
products for your own use and for the use of others. To bring to ones mind
that there are millions of ingredients and each one has the potential to be
an irritant.
No, and they don't have to be on the website. It is what is on the actual
label that matters to the FDA.
I have this mans book "Creating Your Own Cosmeceuticals Naturally" and if
you would like any of his research references, I'd be happy to copy it and
ship off, all 223 of them.
Just some food for thought :)
