Thanks Saponifier. I'll try to make a recipe with those in mind.

Hello guys, I tried to make a bath, shower and massage oil to relieve muscle soreness from working out. I used this recipe that I found somwhere online, in fact a 3rd of it all in half a cup of avocado oil. I must say it really was relaxing it was breaking down like even chronic knots. Buut, I...

Uhuh, just found this: "If you want to use it in a cold product, heat up some propylene glycol or glycerin and add the Phenonip to that before adding it to your product". Here: http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com.a ... nonip.html This is really falling into place, magically! Now the only...

Members, Yes I'm definitley going to have to confer with a pharmacist, as I just read the phenonip product page and it was above my head lol. As I am also adding a fair amount of oil, I'm not sure, it works in a PH range of 3-8. So I guess I'm going to have to test it with strips and...

Genny, I'll research it a bit further, I didn't see any of those ingredients listed in my base at all. I don't know if it literally has to be heated. My impression was that it just stood up to heating better than other preservatives. But I'll check it out. I think I have a friend of a friend...

Phenonip, should do it, it doesn't rave on, on the preservative site I visited about the ph balance you need like others did, and it even said it is good for use with oils which I am adding to the cream. Oh thank you so much, I just invented in one evening, the most beautiful face cream in the...

I see, so what is a preferably inexpensive preservative that easily available please. I am already thinking of adding vitamin C to it don't know if that would mean anything. I am thinking of marketing this prooduct if I like it, so I need to be really particular.

Does anybody know if you added goats milk powder to a stable base cream, would it remain stable or would it go rancid? How long would it last? Would it need refridgeration?

Thanks sounds nice. Well winter is definitely upon us in Sydney and with it my eczema, Woe is me.

K, K. Ya know what, I think I'm going back to using shower oil, stuff the ACV.

Oh right, good well you saved me $30.00 on the castile soap then. Am considering the polysorbate 80 to emulsify some oil into it, or otherwise just using some oil separately in the shower afterwards. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. I'm going to feel a lot like a nice fried chip after my oil and...

You know what I'm suddenly thinking, that I could have just mixed it with some liquid castile soap and got a nice lathering body wash. What's your thoughts. (I don't know what soap or what in soap I am allergic to, but I get a fire like itch from ANY commercial soap or body wash that does not...

yes so it looks like my body wash will just be ACV, xantham gum and lavender, just to let you know what triggered this here is the entry for ACV as body wash in ehow. Thanks for your help, no worries about the crothix I'll use some to make cream cleanser for my bathroom...

Oh well I guess I'll be making some bathroom cleanser out of the crothix. Can you use the crothix in your dishwashing liquid mix? Probably not huh. Well btw I don't live in the States, I"m in Australia so these brand names are different. But I found some xantham gum reasonably priced. Was...

Is that so Genny, no I don't have exceptionally dry skin although a bit of eczema in winter months. So yes I might be looking that up, and maybe adding something to it to moisturise, do you have any suggestions to go in it along with the crothix,?

Thanks fo that. Great it sounds good so I ordered some crothix. I feel the vinegar is very refreshing, I guess the smell washes away, besides I have my own homemade lavender scented body pray. Thanks again, Purr.

Hello. I read on ehow home how Apple cider vinegar makes one of the best all round body washes (restores Ph balance, cleanses etc).. Trouble is it's thin, and dribbles everywhere plus goes to waste. I want to thicken it. I have some liquid glycerin and some lux pure soap flakes. I am Thinking...
