I've made a face lotion that I love, and used tinosan as the preservative, but it's started to grow a little mold after about 3 weeks. I do use my fingers in it, but only after a shower so they are as clean as possible. I'd hate to see if I used dirty fingers! I'm using .5%, it recommends .3%...

I get that there are no real restrictions on labeling something as "natural", but how do they get away with NOT listing ingredients; Isn't that required by law, even for soap?

Wow, can't beat that! Congrats!!

All it says is Emulsifying Wax NF Ingredients: Plant sourced cetyl/stearyl alcahol

Never thought of that, Kellyann, thanks. I think I would have asked; I was not there, and according to my husband it was sort of meant only for the guy she was talking to? I would've liked to know what she was thinking, too.

Duh! I should've thought to look on soap calc.. :oops: Thanks!

I don't know how to ask this without it sounding smar-a$$, but does it matter? Just curious as to why you would want to know? Is one better than the other? The reason I ask is because a long time ago when I first started making soap my husband got into a converstion with someone at our store...

texasnaturalsupply.com claims that their e-wax is all natural; I've used it and really like my lotion HTH

Or is it just used for thickening lotion or hardening soap? Any negative effects on skin?

I use it...and love it! I use it in soap and lotion. I've never heard anything negative about goat's milk, other than having to be very careful not to let the lye burn it up :D

Cant help you Dannybaby, but was wondering if you know anyone, or if anyone on this board has used the "no poo" baking soda method for any period of time and what were your results? Let us know what you come up with; they both sound very interesting!

Thanks a bunch!

Tabitha; I agree with you totally. What I am trying to say is that the medical community in general seem to just go with the "status quo", and that if you are looking for more natural, homeopathic, herbal, etc., you would need to go to a specialty doctor, not just your family...

Thank you, Bubbles; I did think of that...AFTER I'd already made the lotion. I decided I would just use it at night, but if it's really this drying I'll pitch it and start over! Thank you!

Thanks, Irena! I'll give that a try!

Ok, thanks! Distilled water 75% Virgin CO 25% E-wax 5% Orange EO 2% Liquid silk 1.7% Tinosan .3% Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

No offense to anyone, but I wouldn't really trust a pediatrician or midwife without doing your own research. A lot of the time they can only go with what the mainstream medical field says. I was talking to my vet a few weeks ago (a little off-topic, but shows my point) and he told us that they...

Ok, this is weird. I made some lotion, a pretty basic recipe, with organic, virgin coconut oil, e-wax, distilled water, sweet orange and preservative. Any reason it would be drying? (Like 65% water, 25% oils, 5% e-wax, something like that). It feels great after applying, but when I got home...

Ok, now I'm just hungry! The donuts look fantastic!

Yes! From what I read (RIGHT after I purchased 2 of the green ones) the new ones are improved, thus the discontinued green ones. I believe all of the other silicone molds got a makeover, too? Something about glossy vs. matte finish? Planning on getting some soon, so if you do let us know if...
