Coconut Oil America's Best Source for Buying Coconut Oil How to Make Lotion Bars- Easy Recipe I’ve finally reached a point where I make all of our toiletry products by hand. I’ve saved a lot of money doing this with bulk ingredients, and I love that I’m not putting any chemicals on my family’s skin. (Finally even replaced my make-up with homemade versions and more on that coming soon!) I’ve made lotion in the past, but was excited to stumble on this great variation, which is solid at room temperature and looks like a bar of soap. It is also even easier to make than lotion because it doesn’t require any emulsifying with water, which is the tough step. There are endless variations on this lotion bar recipe too. These are fun presents, and could be made for baby shower gifts, birthdays, Christmas gifts or for pregnant moms to use to prevent stretch marks. The Ingredients: This recipe can be adjusted to make any quantity that you’d like. How to Make: Turn the burner on and bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the essential oils. Super Easy and only three ingredients!
Oil Pulling Say “good-bye” to tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, loose teeth, bleeding and receding gums and say “hello” to a bright white smile and healthy pink gums. How is this possible? With oil pulling! Never heard of it? Oil pulling is simple. Oil pulling is best done first thing in the morning before eating breakfast. We have billions of bacteria living in our mouths. Despite regular brushing, flossing, and the use of antiseptic mouthwashes, tooth decay and gum disease are major health problems. Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that by the time you reach the age of 65, your chances of having lost all of your teeth are one out of three! Teeth are meant to last a lifetime, and they will if you take care of them. Studies show that oil pulling at least once a day can significantly reduce dental plaque and gingivitis (i.e. gum disease). Oil pulling isn’t only good at preventing oral infections, but can actively fight them as well.
Etsy Updates Policies on Cosmetics Making Claims - Soap Queen Etsy recently updated their policy on a variety of products that many Soap Queen readers and Bramble Berry customers make: products to help with acne (usually containing Tea Tree Essential Oil), anti-wrinkle creams and serums (often containing luscious ingredients like Tamanu Oil or Seabuckthorn Extract), diaper rash creams (often containing zinc oxide) and anything making anti-itch statements (often with additives like calamine or calendula-infused oils).
