Because of consumer demands, for the past several years the cosmetic and personal care industry has been
conducting extensive research aimed at replacing chemical additive with natural botanicals. Many of these additives focus on antioxidants, conditioning/moisturizing agents, and skin feel, all of which should be of
interest to handmade soap makers.
www.personalcaremagazine.com, is one of the best source of information, related to advances in natural skin care products. Registering on their website is a bit of a hassle, but well worth it. Some of the recent articles you might find interesting include:
Understanding Botanical Oils for Cosmetics
Actives That Fight Exposure Caused Oxidative Stress
Natural Choice For Antimicrobial Protection
Pollution Protection From Rosmarinus Officinalis
Sweet Almond and the Future of "Claen Brauty"
Innovation Through Formulation: Sea Ingredients
Mediterranean Botanicals to Reduce Skin Irritation
First Generation Plant Membrane Lipids fight Ageing
Olive leaf Extract Delivers Skin and Sensorial Benefits
Benefits of Jojoba-Derived Waxes and Butters
Carrot Extract for Blue Light protection and Vivid Skin
With enough "encouragement," we might be able to get some of the suppliers. like Bulk Apothecary, Natures Gate, Bramble Berry, etc., to start carrying some of these products. Until then, begging for samples, is always worth a try.
