Perfumer's Lab: What is an accord? Fragrance Oils Accords Perhaps thinking about it in terms of music could help. Believe it or not, there are a great many similarities between the creation of fragrances and the composition of music. In fact, many of the same terms are used in both. A fragrance masterpiece is as complex, sensual, harmonizing and alluring as an opus, carefully comprised of notes and tones, as little or as many as it takes to capture its creator's vision. Like a chord in music, a fragrance contains a top note, mid or heart note, and base note. In future articles, we will explore these terms among other fragrance related topics, but these first set of articles will center around the term 'accord' and some common accords used in fragrances today. What is an accord? Common Accords: Amber Ambreine Aquatic Aromatic Balsam Chypre Citrus Cologne Floral Fresh Fougere Fruit Gourmand Green Herbal Mellis Oriental Spice Wood So, you too can make your own fragrance compositions. Next up: THE CHYPRE ACCORD.

Non-Comedogenic Oils: Here’s a list! — The Classy Anarchist If you haven’t figured it out yet, I will let you know that I can be an extremely opinionated bitch when it comes to skin care, makeup, and what I think. But it doesn’t hurt to do a little bit of research here and there to back a lot of my nonsense up. I have been researching different oils; their comedogenicity, in particular. Comedogenicity basically refers to a product / ingredient’s ability to produce comedones aka cause you to break out. I have researched a variety of sources online, and some of the results have been rather contradictory. I wanted to organize the different oils and present them in as simple a way possible to show how likely or unlikely it is that they will break you out.

Make Your Own Mineral Makeup I have used mineral makeup for at least a decade now. When Bare Minerals came out, I was amazed at how well it covered and that it was actually good for my skin. Now, a decade later, I realize how simple it is to make! This recipe is just as good as a commercial mineral make up if not better. This ingredient is a white powder that gives an opaque finish. Titanium dioxide provides even more sun protection and helps with coverage. Mica gives your powder a “slip” so it can be applied with ease. Iron Oxides come in yellow, red and brown. This ingredient is optional. Kaolin is another optional ingredient. Essential oils can actually be added to your mineral make up to make your powder more beneficial to your skin. 8 tsp Titanium Dioxide (find it HERE) 3 tsp. 4 tsp. 1/2-1 tsp Yellow Iron Oxide (find it HERE) 1/16 tsp. Pinch Red Iron Oxide (find it HERE) 2 tsp. 5 drops of Essential Oil (optional) (find it HERE) 1 tsp. Add all ingredients to a jar and shake. You May Also Like:

The Herb Bar - 78704 (South Austin) - Austin, TX Oxides, Micas, Ultramarines - What's the Difference? | Soap Colorants The following article on soap coloring options was inspired by a reader’s question concerning the differences between oxides, micas, ultramarines and colorants and when to use which one. by Anne-Marie Faiola You’re right, there are a lot of soap coloring options out there. I’ll go over the most common and the pros and cons: (1) Pigments Oxides and ultramarines fall into this category. Learn how to make this swirled soap Pigments are manufactured in labs and have been since the 70′s. Some Iron Oxides are still extracted naturally; however, Iron oxides in nature (dirt) are often stuck with toxic metals like lead, arsenic, mercury, antimony and selenium (when they are in nature). The good things about using pigments in soap is that they are stable. Tip: Use a latte frother (or mini-mixer) to help pre-mix your pigments in a bit of liquid oil before adding to your soap. (2) FD&C Colorants The nice part of using FD&C colorants is that they are, on a per use basis, fairly inexpensive to use.
