I said I'd keep you posted on how the eczema cream worked...... well its amazing, my lad had such sore red angry patches behind both of his knees, I applied the cream about 4 times a day, within 4 days the angry redness had faded, now within 2 weeks you can hardly see any eczema at all, it...

I have a recipe for an eczema cream, I want to make it & use it on my son (he's 16 mths old). It contains Rosemary & Tea Tree essential oils, would this be ok to use on such a young child??

I found a recipe for an eczema cream the other day, which I had planned to make & try on my son (he's 16mths), but it had rosemary & teatree essential oils in it. But now having read the above posts I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't, at least one post (sorry I can't remember who it was by) said not...

I'm new to all this & would love to buy a really nice book that lists all the essential oils, tells you there uses etc. Would also ideally like it to have imformation in it about other types of oil. Would really appreciate any suggestions on which book to buy. Thanks

I am very new to soap making & have just one book (The Handmade Soap Book by Melinda Cross). I'd like to buy another, but the choice is massive, was thinking 'Smart Soap Making by Anne L Watson' - can any one reccommend this book or any others?? I'd like something straight forward for...

Thanks Hazel I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this. Just looked on the Trex box & it just says vegetable oils (not very helpful). I did insulate the batch, the bars are wrapped in a towel & put in a cardboard box - is that sufficient? I didn't use a lye calculator I just...

The recipe was 16oz vegetable fat, 2oz sodium hydroxide, 5oz spring water & that was all.

Thanks very much Jenny, so it seems I was ripped off abit, payed a fair amount for a tiny little bottle of something sold as 'Neem essential oil'. Plan to use it in a reciepe for an eczema cream.

Hi, I recently brought some Neem essential oil online, when it arrived it was a solid & lumpy looking in the bottle. I contacted the seller & they said it had just frozen whilst in the post, & would be fine if I left it somewhere warm for a few hours (Btw, there has been no freezing weather here...

Hi everybody, I'm new on here & was hoping for some advice, I have recently made my first ever batch of soap following a very basic reciepe using vegetable fat (I used trex) - I wanted to see that it would work before I moved on to nicer soaps with more exspensive ingredients. The soap is about...
