Common names and their INCI names... continuation...

The list below is a continuation from our other article labeled under 'Knowing your Product' . The cosmetic industry, even those little such as mine, have to write the ingredients of each item in their scientific name. This might be of help to all those newbies who are manufacturing their own products for resale.

The truth behind commercial cosmetics

YOU should WATCH this and SHARE!!

Why should YOU make your OWN soap?

As you know, one of the greatest benefits to making your own soap is your ability to create it in any way you see fit. You can make very attractive, art-like soap to add to your bathroom’s décor or you can make purely functional workshop soap without much aesthetic appeal and everything in between.
Some soap makers decide to delve deep into the powers the ingredients they choose in order to create medicinal soaps of their own design!
Medicinal Ingredients
Unlike most commercial soaps, handmade soaps often contain carrier and essential oils as the main ingredients. It is through manipulation of these natural ingredients that soap makers are able to create the beneficial, medicinal properties.
The healing properties are not limited to those possessed by carrier and essential oils. Other ingredients can be added to your soap to increase its therapeutic nature. These ingredients include oatmeal, herbs, herb-infused water (used in place of normal water in your recipes), butters such as cocoa and Shea, as well as clays! 

Specific Ailments Your Soap Can Treat 

Here is an incomplete list of ailments you soap can treat if it contains the proper ingredients.
Your soap’s ability to heal is limited only by your knowledge of the power held in natural ingredients. Far too often, we forsake the ancient natural remedies of old for modern solutions. Ironically, it is the natural remedy that is usually more effective and safer than the chemicals we use today.

I invite you to truly study the power of herbs, botanical oils, and other ingredients so that you can create powerful, natural soaps with incredible curative properties! 
At SoapCafe` we offer soap making courses for beginners to help you discover the wonderful world of self healing! More info on our workshop...CLICK HERE

How to Make Herb Candles

Food smells delicious when it is being prepared and cooked but once the meal is over, the smells are not so attractive. Burn one of these herbal candles to help remove any unpleasant aromas and make your kitchen fresh again.

                                                         What you'll need
  • 250ml or 290g soya container wax
  • A pre-tabbed, waxed wick
  • 1 teaspoon lemongrass essential oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Eucalyptus essential oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Rosemary essential oil
  • Green colour
  • Empty spice jars or jam jars
  • This recipe will make approximately two candles using spice jars
 Ingredients available at www.SoapCafeMalta.com 

To make the candles, both your room and the containers should be at approximately 21ºC (70ºF); you can gently heat the jars in hot water or heat them with a hairdryer if they are really cold. The temperature difference between the wax and the jar should be as little as possible so that the wax adheres well to the sides of the jar.

Method
1) Take a pre-tabbed, waxed/primed wick and dab a piece of wax glue, a glue dot, or hot glue from a gun onto the base of the metal tab. Affix to the bottom of the jar.

2) Make sure that you place the wick exactly in the centre of the jar otherwise the candle will burn unevenly. If the jar is a little deep for your hand to fully reach in to secure the wick tab, use a chopstick or end of a wooden spoon to press it into place.

3) Heat the wax to the melting temperature of 68°C (87°C if using powder dye) and add the green colour a little at a time.

4) Stir thoroughly until it is dissolved. Melted candle wax always looks darker than set wax.

5) Add the essential oils and stir thoroughly into the melted wax. Essential oils should always be added last to prevent evaporation and losing any of their therapeutic properties.

 6) With colour and essential oils mixed through, pour the wax into the jars at between 51°C and 68°C. Leave to set and "cure" for 48 hours before burning.

TIP - Burning a candle while peeling and chopping onions will help prevent you from crying.

This project is inspired from the book Candles, by Elaine Stavert, GMC Publications.
