Hydrogenated vegetable oil can be used to thicken just about any oil to butter or salve consistency. It is the key ingredient in Lavender and Chamomile butters and Matcha Green Tea butter - all expensive, sophisticated butters that you can now make on your own!

It is an easy to use powder at room temperature that melts at 68 degrees Celsius. Using 15-20% of thickener with the oil of your choice will produce a lovely butter. The key to a smooth result is to make sure that you completely melt the oil/thickener combo and then monitor the blend with constant stirring through the cool down process.

BTMS-50 (Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Butylene Glycol) is a quaternary conditioning agent and cationic emulsifier from Croda, derived from natural rapeseed oil. It is used to form both elegant cationic emulsions and excellent detangling hair conditioners. It really allows formulators to produce skin creams and lotions that are soft and powdery and hair treatments that are truly silky. It is also capable of emulsifying silicones such as dimethicone and cyclomethicone, which can often be difficult. BTMS-50 can be used as a co-emulsifier with emulsifying wax, adding its conditioning properties to your favourite cream or butter formula. Croda suggests that it can be used in both rinse-off and leave-on conditioners, detanglers, creams and lotions, silicone emulsions, and shaving products.

Its recommended usage rate in skin care products is 1-5% and in hair care products from 1-8%.

Emulsifying wax emulsifies the ingredients in a cream product, preventing it from separating into it's oil and water parts. It is commonly used in hair conditioners, creams, lotions and 'butters'. This is an extrememly easy product to use, and a great place to start when making your own products. Depending on the use of other emulsifiers and stabilizers, E-Wax can be used from 4-15% of your total formulation. Requires heating to incorporate into solution.

A wonderful alternative to paraffin or beeswax, soy wax can be used in many cosmetic applications such as lip balms and body butters. It is also easy to use and makes clean burning candles. Distributed in flake form. Melting point is 130 F. Pour at 155 F.

Olivem 300 is a member of the Presperse family of olive oil derived esters, that have been successfully incorporated into almost all aspects of cosmetic and personal care formulation. It is extremely easy to work with, as it is soluble in both aqueous, alcohol, and lipid based systems. Recommended levels are between 0.5% to 5% as an emollient, and 10% as a non-foaming cleanser. It is compatible with all anionic surfactants, without affecting foaming or viscosity. This is a wonderfully mild reagent that can be used in a multitude of products, such as shaving lotion, shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, clear liquid soap, lipstick, eye cream, and baby care formulation.
INCI: PEG-7 Olivate

Cocamidopropyl betaine is a viscous pale yellow surfactant made from coconut oil. It is commonly used in bath products like shampoos, body wash and hand soaps, and is also used in cosmetics as an emulsifying agent and thickener. It is a medium strength surfactant that can be used to reduce the amount of primary ionic surfactants in your formulas in order to reduce the irritation ionic surfactants can cause. It is compatible with almost all other classes of surfactants.

Epsom salts are wonderful for adding to the bath or to a foot soak. They are thought to detoxify the skin and relieve pain. They also add sparkle to your bath salt creations.
Sea salt is also a great addition to the bath. The fineness of this salt allows any colour you may add to appear better dispersed.
For a relaxing home bath, add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to salts before adding to the water. Not only divine, but economical as well!

Naturally beautiful light pink and red salts are also packed with skin soothing minerals and trace elements for a real beauty treat. Multipurpose, these are a coarse grain salt and so can be used as is, or ground to a fine powder for use as an exfoliant. Completely natural, these are also a greener alternative to Dead Sea or Himalayan salts, as they are mined in Canada.

This is a preservative from ISP that contains propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, and Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate. The ISP website indicates that liquid germall plus provides for complete, broad spectrum preservation against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and mold. It is compatible with most cosmetic raw materials, and its recommended use levels are between 0.1-0.5% in most formulations. Always add liquid germall plus at 50°C or below to maintain activity. PhytoAromatics recommends that all finished products undergo microbiology testing to assure final formulation preservative efficacy.

Methylparaben is a white, free-flowing broad spectrum preservative used in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It is primarily used as a mold inhibitor. It is easily dispersible in water, oil, propylene glycol or glycerin, making it very easy to formulate with. It is a very effective preservative with a long track record (in use more than 50 years) in many types of cosmetic formulations such as shampoo, skin cream, lotion, powder applications and personal lubricants. Recommended usage levels are 0.1% to 0.25%.

Concerned about irritation or health risks? There is NO evidence that any cosmetics containing parabens pose a health risk. This is because of both the low concentrations used, as well as the fact that parabens are easily broken down by esterases (enzymes) within keratinocytes (the cells which make up the outer layer of the skin), and therefore cannot accumulate on the skin. It is true for parabens (as for everything else), that they can cause skin irritation and contact dermatitis in individuals with allergies to parabens. However, only a tiny percentage of the general population is allergic to parabens.

Freeze dried 200X aloe vera powder solves the main problems of using aloe vera juice or gel. Juice or gel contains water, which means it has both a limited shelf life, and must contain a preservative. By reconstituting your own aloe with distilled water, you can make sure you only have what you need on hand. It also takes up much less space. 25 g will reconstitute to make 5 kg of liquid aloe! See our specials page for great prices this month.

This is a bit of a twist on the plain old 'Bath Salt'. These are still easy and fun gifts to make, but have a little extra flare to them. The great thing about a project like this is that it really allows for a lot of creativity in terms of packaging. This could easily be an afternoon activity with your kids!
You will need:

• 1 cup epsom salts
• 2 cups sea salt
• 1 cup corn starch
• 1 cup baking soda
• mixing bowl, latex/vinyl/plastic gloves for your hands, wooden mixing spoon, fd&c colour dyes, body safe fragrance or essential oils
• jars for putting your finished product in (jam or jelly jars are a great way to start)
• ribbon, fabric, stickers, labels, etc!

Directions: A. Ensure you have a clean area to work in - wash your hands and put on gloves before starting. Clean all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol prior to use. Add all of the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix well with either your gloved hands or a wooden spoon.
B. Take about a cup of the mix and transfer to another bowl. This is where you will add a few drops of colour or scent or both. Mix these wet ingredients into your secondary bowl well - usually easiest with your hands - and then add this to your main bowl. Mix well.
Don't have the colour or scent strength desired? Repeat step B until you do! Then pour salts into glass jars. I like to add some dried flowers to the top of the salts before capping, but feel free to experiment.
There are many ways to decorate your jars, but a cute way is to tie a circular piece of fabric over the lid with some ribbon. It's easy to make labels with a printer and some labels from your local office supply store, and voila! You have great gifts that you know have been made well and with love.

This makes a wonderful facial treatment for mature skin, or an added bonus to a regular body massage. The only drawback to this wonderful project is that it takes quite awhile to make. But the results are well worth it!
You will need:

• 1 glass jar
• 1 c. extra virgin olive oil
• cheesecloth
• coffee filters
• 1/2 cup loose leaf green tea
• dispensing bottle

Directions: A. Ensure you have a clean area to work in - wash your hands and put on gloves before starting. Clean all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol prior to use. Add tea to a wel-cleaned jar then pour in oil to about one-half inch from the top. Cover tightly and place the jars in brown paper bags. The tea will settle to the bottom, so gently shake the jars to suspend the herbs once a day to improve extraction.
After four to six weeks, strain the oil/tea mix through cheesecloth into a clean jar, and then strain the oil again through a funnel lined with a coffee filter into your dispensing bottle.

This is a great facial cleanser, utilizing the skin purifying effects of panax ginseng. It's also easy to make and lends itself to experimentation to make it your own. Use this on a cotton ball to clean your face, and rinse with tepid water.
You will need:

• one glass jar for mixing
• 443 grams ginseng tea, cooled to less than 50 degrees Celsius
• 50 grams OlivEm
• 5 grams aloe vera
• 2 grams liquid germall plus
• dispensing bottle

Directions: A. Ensure you have a clean area to work in - wash your hands and put on gloves before starting. Clean all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol prior to use. Boil water to make ginseng tea. Weigh out 443 grams of tea into a well-cleaned glass jar and let cool to less than fifty degrees Celsius before continuing (Liquid germall plus is inactivated by heat, and so won't be effective if you add it to a hot component). Add the aloe vera, olivem, and finally liquid germall plus and mix well. Pour into bottle.

We call this comfort cream because of the use of aloe vera, which is well known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. This is a fairly basic lotion recipe made with easy to find ingredients that you can really play around with to create your own unique products.
You will need:

• narrow mouth stainless steel pot
• isopropyl alcohol (for cleaning)
• stick blender
• 60 g emulsifying wax NF
• 40 g stearic acid
• 110 g canola oil
• 800 g distilled water
• 10 g aloe vera extract
• clean containers for packaging
• latex or vinyl gloves

Directions: A. Start by putting on gloves and establishing your work "bench". Clean the stainless steel pot and stick blender with the isopropyl alcohol and let dry (the drying is what actually kills any bacteria or viruses present - be aware that alcohol does not kill fungus, so always start with a clean bench and containers). B. Add water to a stainless steel pot and heat for 20 minutes at 80 degrees Celsius. Remove from heat and add emuslifying wax, stearic acid, and canola oil. Mix until the solid oils have melted, and then use the stick blender to mix the oil phase in with the water. I like to blend for about a minute, and then let it sit to cool for about 10 minutes. I continue doing this until the mix has cooled to below 50 degrees Celsius, and has begun to thicken a bit. C. Now add the aloe vera extract and blend in well. The mix will continue to thicken as it cools to room temperature. However, I find it much easier to bottle at this point, while its still warm and easy to pour. D. Pour into your clean containers and cap. Keep your unpreserved lotion bottles in the fridge after opening. Shelf life will vary on how clean everything was while you were working, but it's definitely time to throw away after one month.
