Tepezcohuite Oil and Bark Powder

The oil and powder is readily available and seems to be a "miracle" add in.

now that site will be shut down in a flash - Medical claims, miracle claims and no proper ingredient list....(spanish doesn't count)

BTW: Did you see the microderm abraison sponges? I gues they work by scrubbing yuor skin right of your face :shock: .

 

[funnyfarm319]

Miracle was my word not theirs. i was just interested in the ingredient, as i am always looking for something unique or different.

That website is from the UK, do they have the same laws as we do here?

The laws in the UK are far more strict!! The new bill that no-one wants brought in in the US is pretty much how it is over here.

Every variation on every product has to have a safety assessment done - no excuses! Every ingredient must be listed with it's latin name etc,etc...

No, I haven't heard of it. With that long list of miracles, I think I'm terrified of it.

Can it also change my oil?

I just wikied it and it sounds very interesting. I just wonder if there is a supplier out there or do we need to do a road trip to Mexico.

Hmmmm I live pretty close to Mexico anyone up fo a co-op?

 

[carebear]

I'd be into it. I'm always looking for therapeutic stuff.

OK, you owe me a new keyboard - mine is now splattered with wine! Give a girl a little warning next time!

 

[xyxoxy]

Yeah count me in if you decide to do a border run.
Sounds interesting. If it doesn't work in soap maybe it can do my taxes for me.

 

[madpiano]

will that have to be a secret border run including tunnelling under the barbed wire ???

And yes, our laws here are stricter than in the US, but pretty much the same when it comes to medical claims on cosmetics. A big NONO.

I just googled the plant myself - I assumed initially it's a made-up name - and funny enough it is a Mimosa Tree, sold as a houseplant here.

It does sound like an interesting ingredient, but sadly not part of my Safety Asessment. I checked and Miracle-Plant isn't either....

I bought some of this soap off ebay, can't remember the name of the seller but I'll check my ebay account if anyone's interested.
I got it about 2 and a half years ago, when I was in my mad "got to try every soap on the planet" stage.
From memory, it had quite a funny smell. But I will say this, I had a huge blackhead (I know, gross) under my nose that I had so much difficulty getting to. I'd tried all sorts of implements to squeeze it out, those pore strips, face masks, everything. It wouldn't budge. Coincidence, or not, after using that soap ONCE it came right out. Now it may have done that all by itself, it's time may have been up, who knows.
I'd be interested in it as an additive also though, just to compare. From memory, isn't it some form of cactus or something?

You know, this is something I cannot understand considering the claims out there for pharmaceuticals. One anti-depressant add makes that drug sound like it can cure world hunger AND bring peace to the middle east...but yet, we cannot say that a plant helps with acne? This is so bassackwards.

:roll:

Prove it, and you can say it.

hah! 8)


well I found both the powder and the bar soap on eBay, thanks for the tip, Chrissy. I wonder if this is worth a try.

Yup.
Even more accurate:
PAY to prove it, and you can say it.

no, it's not a cactus. It's a tree that looks like a Mimosa Plant, but doesn't curl up and die every time you touch it. It's sold as a houseplant here in many garden centres.

Search Google Images for "Mimosa Tree" and lots of them come up, although in the natural settings, so rather big and beautiful, compared to the dried out specimen on my window sill (who has time to water plants when there is soap to me made)
