Well we all know how wonderful salt scrubs are. How soft and clean they make your skin feel. But the question is are they all the same? Let's take a look and see. And you can decide what you like. Do you prefer truly knowing what your are putting on your skin or not?
Red Dirt Soap salt scrub contains a blend of Apricot kernel oil, wheat germ oil, Shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, deep sea salt, and 2 essential oils the maximum benefits. Plus just like every single product made by Red Dirt Soap Company it is make by human hands. Every single drop, every jar, every label. It is NOT made by the thousands that sets for months or years until bought. It is made in small quantities to preserve freshness and quality.
Anthropologie salt scrub contains Key ingredients: dead sea salts, organic safflower oil, organic jojoba oil, organic basil, organic lavender, organic orange, California lemon, bergamot, non-GMO vitamin E (not this one you notice it says "key ingredients" these always scare me because you have no clue what else it may have in it)
Co Bigelow salt scrub (Astara) contains Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Water (Aqua), Sodium Cocosulfate, Polyglyceryl-10, Pentastearate, Behenyl Alcohol, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Citrus Arantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Lavendula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Numphaea Alba (Water Lily) Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Oleoresin, Thymus Vulgaris Leaf Oil, Dead Sea Salts, Papain, Algae Extract, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan, Caramel
One of the biggest keys/benefits of Red Dirt Soap Company salt scrub is that because it is a blend of oils and butters it doesn't have that layer of oil setting at the top. It is not a greasy mess. It is silky smooth.
It may come as a shock to many but about 98% of the product on the market that say it moisturizes the skin in fact dries it instead. Why? We the biggest problem is the alcohol in them. Most products you buy in the store is over 70% alcohol. Even though they claim to have all these good ingredients in them which I am sure they do but the problem is how much? Fact is that they only have to have a "dusting" of an ingredients to claim it is present in the product. For another fact out of that remaining 30% of the product, roughly about 25% of that is petroleum or mineral oil and water, 3% is fragrance and colorant, and maybe if your lucky that remaining 2% is something that is actually good for your skin.
Now you may be thinking but it feels good on my skin. Yes, petroleum does feel good. But will never do any good. In fact, it actually makes things worse because it clogs your pours; which doesn't allow your skin to breath.
Now this includes everything. Your lotion, soap, shampoo, conditioner, night creams, facial cleaners, all of it. Go ahead, take a look at the bottle.
Come on out and join in the fun this Saturday 10-4

Today I want to bring to you another step we are taking to help in skin care awareness. We have now started a video series of our products. We will post a new video each day for through March 15, 2013 then it will be one a week on Wednesdays. Please take the time to check out the videos.
Well we all know it's all over the place about the benefits of glycerin soap. But the question is what is glycerin? Well let's dig a little deeper on the subject. Now is where I could get into all the scientific words and such that you might not understand. But I would much rather try and explain in easier terms that anyone can understand. Glycerin is a "by-product" now there is vegetable glycerin and fat glycerin. But lets focus on vegetable glycerin and the reason being that "most" glycerin soap maker use this.
Ok, Vegetable Glycerin is often from coconut or palm oil. Both very beneficial oils for your skin and hair. Now the real question is how do they get glycerin from coconut or palm oil. Well, they do it by heating the oils to super high temperature under pressure with water. What this does is glycerin backbone splits off from the fatty acids, and is absorbed by water, from which is then isolated and distilled to obtain the pure product. Food-grade vegetable glycerin is 99.7% pure with the remainder being water. BUT there is also a non-food grade vegetable glycerin that is a by-product. This is what most glycerin soap makers use in soaps. Mostly because they don't know the difference and its way cheaper and they think "well they're not going to eat it so why buy the better one" But in reality the quality is terrible.
So now for the REAL reason for this post. Red Dirt Soap uses NO glycerin. NONE! Let me explain why. Just like with foods you eat the same go's for things you put on your skin. If you cook something at high temperature you are killing the benefits of the material. So when they cook the coconut or palm oil to make this glycerin they are killing the benefits that the natural oils have in making this by-product. Red Dirt Soap Company uses No by-products. We ONLY use pure raw oils. All of our essentials are only distilled extracted to insure there is no chemicals, an none of the benefits are damaged. Same for our carrier oils they are all naturally extracted raw oils. We do not cook any of our products to a high temperature.
Now don't get me wrong I am not saying glycerin is a terrible product. Because it isn't. But I am trying to show you WHY Red Dirt Soap Company products are better. I mean, think about it. Which is better in nutrients a raw piece of broccoli or steamed? The raw right? And Why is that? Because the steamed killed many of the nutrients. Same with raw carrot or cooked? The list go's on and on. Well the same go's for the nutrients in you skin care products. Using raw, pure ingredients are going to be packed full of 10x the benefits and nutrients as the stuff that has been cooked at high temps.
Oh the wonders of spring and summer. The warm sunshine, beaches, picnics, evening walks in the sunset. I don't know about the rest of you but I LOVE warm weather... Man, the short and tank tops, sun dresses, and sandals/flip flops. Everywhere you look, you see pretty toes, painted every color of the rainbow. And fact is if your feet look/feel good you feel good all over!
But FIRST we have to get our feet treated.. Get rid of all that dry, cracked, rough skin to revile the soft silky feet. And fact is the average pedicure is $40! OUCH!!! That's a lot of money for softness... But 98% of us do it! And what about the men? Well if your husband is like mine he would rather be tarred and feathered that go have a pedicure. Yea, I know most of you are shaking your head and saying "YEP that my husband!" And if your husband is like mine he probably says "there ain't NO WAY I am setting in a salon getting some stranger mess with my feet!" And the price isn't all. Do you have any clue what they are putting on your feet? Is it safe? Are the tools cleaned and sanitized? Do you know your chances of getting a foot fungus increases 95% when you get a pedicure in a salon? Red Dirt Soap Company has a pretty pedi pack that includes salt scrub, spa skin therapy, and pumice stone in a cute little vinyl bag. This collection will do about 25-30 pedicures. Now regular price of this is $47 which is about the cost of one pedicure. BUT HOLD ON.. It is on sale NOW for ONLY$28.20 that is 40% off!!!
Now let me tell you a little more about the products. The salt scrub is made of sea salt, and a blend of natural plant oils and butters, peppermint and lavender essential oils. This salt scrub give such an amazing cooling tingle; your feet will feel refreshed and rejuvenated. The spa skin therapy Ingredientsare Shea butter, cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, palm oil, green tea, horsehair herb, soy wax, bees wax, sweet almond oil, peppermint and lavender essential oils. This is perfect deep moisturizer for your feet, elbows, and my husband uses it on his hands. A lot of men buy it for their hands if they work out side, or with chemicals where their hands get rough, dry and cracked.
I wanted to share our March Madness Sale with you today. There is some pretty awesome specials ranging from 25% - 40% off. Great time to try our products. Visit Red Dirt Soap Company sale page today!
Here at Red Dirt Soap we are proud
to say we do NOT use anything grown in China.
When it comes to anything from China,
"organic" beware! There has been lots of research on the issue quite
extensively. And the conclusion is that "organic" from China is largely
a fraud. Here's why...
You're going to be shocked to
learn that there is no limit to how much mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and
aluminum is allowed in "organic" products. USDA organic standards has
NO LIMITS on levels of heavy metals contamination of certified organic foods.
Even further, there is no limit on the contamination of PCBs, BPA and other
synthetic chemicals that's allowed in certified organic foods, superfoods and
supplements.
At this point, you're probably shaking
your head in disbelief and thinking, "No, that can't be true. Organic
standards must check for heavy metals and chemical contamination, right?"
Well your wrong. "Organic" certifies a process of how food is grown
or produced. Certifies that the farmer doesn't add pesticides, herbicides,
petroleum-based fertilizer, metals or synthetic chemicals to the crop (among
other things), and that the soil must be free from such things for a certain
number of years before organic certification is approved. But organic
certification does nothing to address environmental sources of pollution such
as chemtrails, contaminated irrigation water, and fallout from industrial or
chemical factories that might be nearby. A certified organic farmer can use
polluted water on their crops and still have the crops labeled
"organic."
For this reason: the environment
in which organic foods are produced is critical to the cleanliness of the final
product.
Organic farming in a clean
environment produces clean, organic foods. But organic farming in a polluted
environment produces contaminated organic foods. And China is one of the most
polluted chemical cesspools on the planet.
China is a nation that has
virtually no environmental regulation enforcement. In China, anything goes: You
can dump mercury into rivers. You can spray raw human sewage sludge on crops.
You can produce factory-made chemicals and blow the waste products right into
the air through smokestacks. In China, many rivers are so toxic that, from time
to time, they actually catch on fire and burn.
The water that's often used in
"organic" food and superfood production in China. So even though the
farmer is following "organic process standards", he may be using
irrigation water that's wildly contaminated with metals, chemicals and even
pesticide residues. He may be spraying hormone drugs on the crops because
there's a pharmaceutical factory upstream.
Some exceptions to this is goji
berries are grown at high altitude, far away from the pollution of China's
cities and rivers. Goji berries sourced from China tend to be very clean and
have very low levels of contamination. There are no doubt other exceptions to
the rule, but how do you know what is safe that comes out of China.
In North America,
"organic" is legitimate precisely because North America has far more
strict environmental standards. Organic is clean food, responsibly produced,
and consistently less contaminated than conventional food. The same is true
across Europe, where organic standards are also strict. But in China,
"organic" is has no ethics and cannot be trusted.
And the laboratory tests bear this
out. An investigative story on chlorella showing that "organic"
chlorella from China is polluted with nearly ten times the aluminum level of
"organic" chlorella from Taiwan. And the cleanest chlorella found in
terms of metals contamination was actually a non-organic chlorella produced in
Korea.
China is a communist regime. It is
a country where all religion has been outlawed and the people are never taught
ethics or morality. They have no moral compass. Across China, the majority of
the population believes that the best way to get ahead is to CHEAT, lie and
steal, even if it means harming someone else in the process.
China is the country where they
put melamine in infant formula, knowing that it will kill little children.
China is the country where the paint on children's toys contains obscene levels
of brain-damaging lead. China is a nation of shortcut-takers who will do
anything to cheapen a product as long as they can cover it up and trick the
buyer. This is why there has always been the little chuckle when something
breaks and you discover it's "made in China" has, for decades. If you
buy pet treats made in China, you are murdering your pet with the most insane
chemicals imaginable. The stuff that goes into some pet treats made in China is
highly toxic and causes cancer. This is one of the main factors behind the
alarming rise of cancers among dogs and cats in North America.
Now, of course, there are people
in China who rebel against all this. There are exceptions to the rule, and
there may even be some honest organic food producers in China that buck the
trend. Not all mainland Chinese are bad people. Many wish to overthrow the
corrupt government and restore freedom, liberty and justice to the country. But
because they are all disarmed (China has no Bill of Rights), they are powerless
against a dictatorial government. They are slaves to the system.
Chinese medicine herbs from China
are notoriously contaminated with lead. The same is true for green tea and many
other ingredients that naturally absorb heavy metals.
China has virtually no
environmental enforcement whatsoever, the very idea that something grown in China
can be certified "organic" is absurd. So why do so many formulators
and food companies in the USA still buy ingredients from China? Because they're
CHEAP.Buying from China means higher profit. Raw materials from China are
cheap! Across the board, raw materials (foods, superfoods, supplements) from
China are about 1/4th the cost of materials grown in North America or Europe. This
means getting your ingredients from China grants your product a lot more profit
in the marketplace. For those selling through Whole Foods -- whose product shelves
are littered with ingredients made in China -- this profit margin is essential
to economic survival.
The very idea of
"organic" coming out of China is a disturbing contradiction. And
organic standards have a huge gap in the fact that they don't require foods to
actually be free from mercury or other contaminants. Overall, organic is a
wonderful standard, but when a "USDA organic" label is slapped on a
product grown in China, you really have to scratch your head and say,
"Yeah, it might be organic, but is it clean?" It may be, but you just
don't know until you test it. "Organic" grown in the USA can be
assumed to be clean, but organic grown in China must be assumed contaminated
unless proven otherwise.
Until China enforces some really
strict environmental standards, "organic" from China you should use extreme
caution. You can lie to yourself and say, "Well it's ORGANIC so it must be
clean!" but you'll be swallowing mercury, lead, pesticides and other
synthetic chemicals in various amounts. If you buy "organic" foods,
superfoods or supplements grown in China, you need to know about this.
A recent government study found
that groundwater in 90% of China's cities is contaminated, most of it severely.
The head of China's ministry of water resources said last year that up to 40%
of the country's rivers are "seriously polluted", and an official report
from last summer found that up to 200 million rural Chinese have no access to
clean drinking water.
The country has polluted itself
far beyond the point of long-term sustainable life. Children are being born as
mutants. Rivers support no fish life. Soils are building up obscene levels of
contaminants and becoming so toxic that crop yields are affected. Cities are so
filled with airborne pollution that the mere act of breathing causes cancer.
And on top of that, China's one-child policy has resulted in mass gendercide
where baby girls are routinely -- and yes, I mean ROUTINELY -- murdered,
drowned, suffocated, etc., because the family wants a son, not a daughter.
China has a terminal environmental
crisis on its hands, compounded by an eternally corrupt, dictatorial communist
regime government that oppresses freedom and outlaws religion while forcing
families to kill their own baby girls under its population control mandates.
Well we spent the day making up a big batch of our natural pain liniment.
Pain - B - Gone. It works fantastic on any type of pain like, joints, arthritis, headaches, back aches, muscle and bone pain, sprains, any kind of injury, anti-inflammatory properties and it is a good choice for overexerted muscles, injury where there is deep tissue pain, sciatica and even Dercums Disease. And we have not made it even better. By taking the advise of customers we have put it into a thicker form (balm like form) And it works great! Maybe even a little better than the liquid. But we do still have the liquid form as well.
My husband suffers from sever back pain. He has 4 bulging discs in his lower back and is waiting for surgery. This liniment even helps with his back pain. You wont be disappointed.
Ok, we all know that flea and tick season is just around the corner. And if your dog is like mine then the allergies from the grass will make things even worse. Well with my bull dog she had to have allergy shots every month plus the special shampoo. And the cost was silly. Plus they explained to us that if we breed her that we could not use the shampoo during her pregnancy or while the babies were nursing. So my thought was "what in the world is in the shampoo". After hearing all of that my husband and I decided to develop our own pet shampoo that would take care of the allergies as well as the fleas and ticks. And we have done just that. Red Dirt Soap pet shampoo will not only help with the fleas, ticks, and allergies but also hot spots and make their coat shinny and oh so soft. And best yet because it is 100% natural it is safe for any age of dog. And nursing mothers.
Today, I am going to write about how important it is to have good skin care. It is not only important it is vital! Think about it for a minute... When your skin feels dry, itchy, bumpy, irritate you pretty much feel that way all over right? I just kind of puts you in a 100% uncomfortable state right? Well the same go's for when your skin looks and feels good, soft, & silky; you feel FANTASTIC! That is because when you skin is uncomfortable so are you. Why? well their is many reasons, first our skin is kind of attached to nerves that tells our body how we fell. Second is because if we like it or not fact is appearance matters! Fact is that even though we say "I don't care what you look like" we do care. Some is for selfishness but some is also because we all know "if we look good we feel good" It's a proven fact!
My Momma use to always tell me "take care of your appearance, because as a lady sometimes that all you have" very wise women. And even though she always took care of herself. I don't remember every seeing her "tan" or anything like that. I lost her on December 16, 2012 to basal cell carcinoma. It started as a little sore on her eye lid back in 2002. She was the strongest, most amazing women I have ever met and I miss her every second of every day. She was not only my Mom, but she was my best friend, my hero. And she is the reason why I have dedicated my life to helping people understand the value of their skin. I took care of her and was by her side until the day she went home. It was the hardest thing in the world I have ever done. She wanted to stay home, she was done with Doctors and hospitals, and wanted to go in peace. And with God's grace and strength in helping me she did.
So you see their is way more to skin care than just "the smell" or "the price" there is so many chemicals is that stuff you buy at the store. Please please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Be careful on what you buy.
I would like to give you this offer. This picture offers 30% off store wide on our website. Use it, try Red Dirt Soap products. Do your own research. It is a gift from us to you.
As always thank you for reading and have a Blessed Day!
Oh we all love how soft our skin feels after applying lotion. But have you ever looked at what is in this magic bottle of moisture? Lets take a look at a few of them.
This time we are going to start off withRed Dirt Soap Companylotion. Seeing as how in my eyes it is the best. Our Ingredients: castor oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, Shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, wheat germ, apricot kernel oil, palm oil, distilled water, essential oil. Now don't that sound sweet and harmonizing to the skin? The biggest difference between ours and most others is this. Its not greasy, it absorbs through every layer of skin to not just smooth but heal, it takes a very little bit, and its safe for everyone! We offer 10 different fragrances to choose from.
One that I for years believed the advertisement on was Aveeno. You know they always market themselves as being Naturals. Well, I believed it until I started looking up what some ingredients were. Here is their ingredients: (Water, Glycerin, Petrolatum, Mineral Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour (Oat), Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Ceteareth 6, Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, Hydrolyzed Oats, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, PEG 25 Soy Sterol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Benzalkonium Chloride Solution, Benzaldehyde, Butylene Glycol, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Ethyl Alcohol, Isobutylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Stearyl Alcohol.) Don't seem to natural to me.
And everyone has used Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion at some point. Well let me just say this before posting the ingredients. When a large company like them is being questioned about a product they have advertised for years for babies on the fact that it has dangerous chemicals in it. THERES A PROBLEM! The Article http://www.nbcnews.com/id/48673009/ns/health-childrens_health/ Now for the ingredients: Water, Propylene Glycol, Myristyl Myristate, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Polysorbate 61, Dimethicone, Isopropyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Synthetic Bees Wax, Carbomer, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Aloe Vera Extract, Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate)
Now with all that being said here is some facts. Mineral Oil and Petroleum are not natural. BUT because they are "delivered by nature" it is another loop hole marketing departments get paid big bucks to use to fool people. And the way I see it is this as far as that is concerned crude oil is natural BUT would you put that on your skin? And the sun is "natural" but it still causes cancer.
You can research many of these lotions or ingredients yourselves and see how dangerous they can be for you and your family. I don't expect you to take my word for it. Please check out your skin care products. And if you have any questions on anything please ask. If I don't know I will find out for you.

In the world today 89% of us have embarrassing skin problems of some kind. It may be excessively dry skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, vitiligo, rosacea, and many more. The pharmaceutical companies have developed many medications for most of these skin problems. Personally I think there is a problem with their for of treatment. Most of the prescription treatments can cause severe damage to important organs in the body such as liver, kidneys, blood and more. Now where I am confuse is this, why in the world would anyone want to risk their life with medications that could potentially kill them to clear up their skin? We unfortunately the biggest reason is because society looks at the outer part of a person instead of the inter. In general we look at "how someone presents themselves physically" instead of looking deeper into the heart and mind. So to get excepted by society we jeopardies our health by using treatments that could potentially kill us.
Now some of you may be saying oh well I don't use any prescription medications I just use lotions and creams from the store. But did you know that most of them first of all are 70% or more alcohol? Now how is that good for your skin? Well it's not. And to top it off of that remaining 30% about 25% of it is chemicals. Many of which can cause cancer, or liver problems and more just the same. What I am saying is when you read a bottle from the store that says it contains "shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado, jojoba, etc" It only has MAYBE 5% of them.
Now the difference between all of these and natural plant oil products such as what Red Dirt Soap makes is simple. First of all Red Dirt Soap products are 100% natural plant oils. Ok, now you may be saying so? Well the biggest reason why this is important is this, plant oils is the closest you can get to the oils from your skin. Natural plant oils will actually absorb through every layer of skin to truly heal the problem not just mask the problem. Now please understand, most skin problems their is no "cure" for them. BUT with using our products regularly know one will ever know you have them. We have many products for problem skin in our Skin Treatment Section as well as our Facial Products. And as always if you don't know what to get please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help you in anyway we can. We have helped many with their skincare problems. And we want to help you. We believe God as put everything on earth we could ever possibly need. We just have to use the knowledge he gave us to find it. We carry everything from the mildest soap, problem skin treatments, lotion, hair care, and more.
Apricot Kernel Oil: Organic
apricot kernel oil is rich in gamma linoleic acid, or GLA, which comes from
essential fatty acid omega-6. The GLA content in apricot kernel oil helps skin
to maintain moisture balance. GLA also plays a role in firming and toning your
skin, according to Close. Additionally, organic apricot kernel oil contains
vitamin A and E, which soothe the skin and slow signs of aging. The nourishing
properties of apricot kernel seed oil have an anti-inflammatory effect and may
soothe minor skin conditions such as eczema. Consult your doctor about your
skin conditions before using apricot kernel oil. Choose apricot kernel oil to
moisturize balanced skin, oily skin and hormone reactive skin. The light
texture of apricot kernel oil makes it useful in face serums, or mixtures of
oils used to moisturize the face. According to Close, apricot kernel oil is
especially useful for oily complexions. Apricot kernel oil is light enough that
it does not leave a greasy coat on your skin after use. Though apricot kernel
oil is most useful for oily complexions, it is gentle enough to use on any skin
type. Apricot kernel oil will also help rehydrate dry skin. Coconut Oil: Choose coconut
oil to moisturize balanced skin, oily skin and hormone reactive skin. The light
texture of apricot kernel oil makes it useful in face serums, or mixtures of
oils used to moisturize the face. According to Close, apricot kernel oil is
especially useful for oily complexions. Apricot kernel oil is light enough that
it does not leave a greasy coat on your skin after use. Though coconut oil is
most useful for oily complexions, it is gentle enough to use on any skin type.

does not leave a greasy coat on your skin after use. Though coconut oil is most
useful for oily complexions, it is gentle enough to use on any skin type.
Coconut oil will also help rehydrate dry skin. Olive Oil: Olive oil makes
for a gentle moisturizer for dry skin, notes The Daily Green, a website for
organic life solutions. You can apply it directly to the skin with a cotton
ball or add a few drops to your favorite moisturizer to amp up its
effectiveness. Olive oil has the same healthy fats as avocado, which plumps and
moisturizes the skin with a combination of vitamin E and vitamin A. Dry, itchy
and inflamed skin is usually the sign of skin irritations such as eczema and
psoriasis. People with these conditions learn to live with their itchy and
uncomfortable skin or they turn to prescription creams and home remedies. Olive
oil can relieve some of the discomfort and irritation associated with these
skin conditions. Free radicals, sun and pollution can all take a toll on your skin.
A study performed by dermatologist Leslie Baumann that was published in a 2007
issue of "The Journal of Pathology" found that vitamin E was
successful in fighting free radicals, photo aging and damage to maintain
younger looking skin. Olive oil can be applied directly to aging and damaged
skin to help maintain a youthful appearance and reduce the toll free radicals
takes on your skin. Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil
boasts antimicrobial properties---discouraging the growth of bacteria and other
microbes that attack the skin. Research is not conclusive, but it is believed
that jojoba oil matches the makeup of human skin's natural sebum, which makes
it easily absorbed and tolerable to even those with sensitive skin. Although
jojoba oil is a moisturizer, it also prevents overproduction of oil by the
skin, making it an effective acne treatment. Because jojoba oil is really a
wax, it lasts all day and does not evaporate like water or oil-based
moisturizers. It also works well as a massage oil because it dilutes intense
essential oils while providing lubrication and moisture. Jojoba oil helps
relieve numerous skin conditions. Used alone, or added to other ingredients,
jojoba oil makes a great moisturizer and lip balm. It is used to treat acne,
athlete's foot, warts and canker sores. Jojoba oil benefits hair when added to
shampoos and conditioners, and it soothes and helps heal skin affected by
rashes, rosacea and eczema. The gentleness of the oil makes it a moisture-rich
makeup remover. It also has industrial applications and is added to waxes and
lubricants used on cars, airplanes and other machinery. Research into using it
as an alternative fuel source is also under way. Avocado Oil: Vitamin
E is known to be a powerful antioxidant, "mopping up" free radicals,
as well as helpful in decelerating signs of aging. According to the UCLA Center
for Human Nutrition in California, compared to other fruits, avocados have the
highest Vitamin E content. Avocado oil's powerful antioxidant property protects
circulating white blood cells, helping to keep the skin from oxidizing while it
permeates through the cell wall. The benefits of avocado oil can be obtained
naturally, either cold pressed in liquid for or from the fruit itself (minus
the pit and the avocado skin). Slice open a ripe avocado and rub the pulp
directly on skin in areas where needed. When trying anything new, always be
cautious and aware of any adverse allergic reaction. Consult a qualified health
care professional when using avocado oil for any specific health or skin
condition. Grape Seed Oil: Grape seed
oil works for most skin types, including sensitive, dry, normal and
combination., However, it is not recommended for oily skin, according to Nerys
Purchon in her book "The Essential Natural Health Bible." If you have
oily skin, try soybean oil instead. Grape seed oil is also often used for
allergic people, because it hasn't caused many allergic reactions in sensitive
people. Because of this, it is often added to hypoallergenic products. Grape
seed oil contains antioxidants, which fight free radicals thought to be
responsible for a number of diseases. The antioxidants in grape seed oil are
associated with improving aging skin by protecting the elastin and collagen in
it, although there is not enough research to back up these claims. You ingest
the oil for this benefit, but talk to your doctor first if you are on blood
thinning medication. The flavonoids, resveratrol and anthocyanins in grape
seeds are phytonutrients, or nutrients from plants, which when ingested, provide
anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and antimicrobial properties, notes a 2010 study
in the "International Journal of Molecular Sciences." All of these
properties might affect the health of the skin, although more research is
needed to determine the possible benefits of grape seed oil for the skin. The
seeds of grapes have more phenolic compounds than the flesh, skin and leaves of
the grape. Sweet Almond Oil: There are
numerous benefits for sweet almond oil. It contains vitamin E in abundance.
Vitamin E also known as the food for our skin. Vitamin E is protects our skin
from damaging ultraviolet lights. It prevents cell damage and also fights with
some skin disorders. Some studies have shown that vitamin E is helpful to
reduce stress. Sweet almond oil has refreshing fragrance which has positive
impacts on your senses. One research has shown that vitamin E prevents some
heart ailments. Using almond oil on daily basis can provide you with lot of
vitamin. Also its nourishing nature and great emollient properties makes it
excellent choice for the people with dry skin. The dry skin tends to crack
easily specially in the winter or when the weather is dry due to it has less
moisturizer. The moisturizer in sweet almond oil not only address this issue of
dry skin but it also keeps the PH of the skin at normal level. Due to its
superb texture it not only easily absorb in the skin but it help to maintain
the tone of the skin. Because of its various antioxidants and anti-aging
properties, you can use almonds to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in your face.
It can be done by massaging your face regularly with almonds oil. When you
apply regular massage with this oil, you will have remarkable glowing and
radiant complexions that will make you look younger than your age. There are other
almonds skin benefits to prevent aging such as reduce black circles around eyes
and revitalize your skin. Castor Oil: Castor
oil is obtained from the seeds of the castor oil plant, and has plenty of
health benefits. Its remarkable healing abilities can treat a variety of
conditions naturally. This unique substance has been thoroughly investigated
for its medicinal use and is recommended for the treatment of gastrointestinal
problems like dysentery and constipation. More importantly, it is a popular healing
agent for various skin problems. Using castor oil is one of the best ways to
maintain the beauty of the skin for years to come. Applying it on a regular
basis is an easy way to prevent appearance of wrinkles that occur with age. Jam
packed with skin friendly ingredients, castor oil can certainly help to
increase the lifespan of your youthful skin. Castor oil is an excellent source
of essential nutrients such as vitamin E, antioxidants and minerals that boost
skin health. Critics argue that usage of castor oil for people following a
healthy diet is absolutely unnecessary. Yes, agreed all these nutrients are
abundantly found in healthy meals. However, only a small amount of nutrients
from food are absorbed by the skin. Hence, externally application of natural
moisturizers such as castor oil that nourish the skin from within is
recommended. Wheat Germ: Wheat Germ Oil
is widely used as both a cosmetic ingredient and as a dietary supplement. It is
naturally rich in Vitamins A, D, and E, and also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3,
B6, F, Essential Fatty Acids, protein, and minerals. Because of its
anti-oxidant and regenerative properties, Wheat Germ Oil is a wonderful
ingredient to add to bodycare and cosmetic products. Wheat Germ Oil contains
high levels of Vitamin E Oil, as well as other vitamins, minerals, protein, and
Essential Fatty Acids. Essential Fatty Acids support physiological functions,
and are essential for the health of our organs and overall health. They cannot
be produced by our own bodies, and instead must be obtained from dietary
sources. Wheat Germ Oil contains linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic fatty
acids. These are needed for our cardiovascular, immune, nervous, reproductive
systems, and to maintain healthy cells and body functions. The Vitamin E Oil
present in Wheat Germ Oil promotes skin cell formation, and is great for
nourishing and rejuvenating dry, mature, dehydrated skin, and reducing scars,
stretch marks, sunburns, and damaged skin. It has anti-inflammatory and
anti-oxidant effects, which may be beneficial medicinally as well as in
cosmetics. The high Vitamin E content in Wheat Germ Oil is a natural
preservative, helps to prevent rancidity, and prolongs the shelf life of
cosmetic products. Shea Butter: Shea butter
can benefit your hair and scalp in numerous ways. Not quite sure what it is?
Also known as karite butter, shea butter is a cream-colored fatty substance
made from the nuts of karite trees that grow in the savannah regions of West
and Central Africa. Karite trees, or shea trees, grow only in the wild, take up
to 50 years to mature, and live up to 300 years. The trees need tender loving
care, and their cultivation, along with the manufacture and distribution of
shea butter, is an enormous undertaking in Africa, where shea butter is
sometimes referred to as women’s gold because so many women are employed in its
production. Shea butter is in high demand because it has many healing
properties — it's used to cool burns, soothe sores, fade scars, lighten stretch
marks, and help cure skin conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis, and
dandruff. It may also help diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin,
promoting cell renewal, and increasing circulation. An effective moisturizer,
shea butter is rich in fatty acids, which help skin retain its moisture and
elasticity. Because of this, shea butter is a key ingredient in many cosmetic
and hair care products. Does shea butter work magic on your hair and scalp?
Maybe. Here are some of its chief benefits: Shea butter provides moisture to dry
and damaged hair from the roots to the tips, leaving it healthy and shiny.
Because it's rich in vitamins A and E, shea butter soothes dryness, repairs
breakage, and mends split ends. Shea butter absorbs quickly and completely into
the scalp without clogging pores, leaving a greasy residue, or causing a
buildup of oil or dandruff. Shea butter helps heal a variety of scalp problems,
including dry scalp, psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. Shea butter protects
hair from weather damage caused by wind, humidity, and extreme dryness, and
repairs such damage. Because it's rich in moisture and can shield against
harmful ultraviolet radiation, shea butter protects hair from sun damage. If
your hair has endured chemical treatments, hot irons, and blow-dryers, shea butter
can restore its moisture and vitality. Cocoa Butter: Cocoa butter
penetrates the top layer of the skin called the epidermis. The cocoa butter can
also reach the dermis, the middle layer. Cocoa butter is made from the
vegetable fat of the cocoa bean. It is very effective for lubricating dry skin.
This natural moisturizer also softens the skin. Herbal Luxuries writes that
"cocoa butter is an excellent emollient that is well absorbed by the skin.
Its incredibly high content of vitamin E is responsible for its beneficial
properties." Vitamin E is proven to help with skin renewal and repair.
Cocoa butter is also an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the skin from free
radicals or toxins that damage tissues at the cellular level. The antioxidant
property also provides a natural preservative so cocoa butter lasts for a long
time. Cocoa butter is available in a few forms--creams, lotions and sticks.
Cocoa butter is frequently recommended for eliminating stretch marks and other
scars. Many people believe that cocoa butter has helped to reduce their scars.
Even plastic surgeons have advised their patients to use cocoa butter on
surgical scars. But there is no medical evidence that proves cocoa butter helps
with scar tissue. A research study at the American University of Beirut Medical
Center in Lebanon concluded, "Topical application of a lotion containing
cocoa butter does not appear to reduce the likelihood of developing striae
gravidarum (stretch marks.)" But there is plenty of anecdotal evidence
that cocoa butter helps with scars. Many people see improvement in scars after
applying the cocoa butter a few times each day. This natural product has a
smooth texture so it is easy to apply and use. Soybean Oil: Soybean
Oilis considered most nutritious and helps in improving our
internal system including hair and skin. Soyabean has incredible benefit
which improves the quality of the skin.Soybean is an incredible source of
vitamins, minerals, proteins and when a protein rich emollient is produced from
a product it is called as soybean oil. Because of air pollution, poor diet
combined with harmful UV rays from sunlight most people find their skin dull by
the mid 30′s .This is when soybean oil comes in.Soybean oil helps in restoring
the luster and impart glow to the skin.It helps in healing the damage that is
done to the skin by pollution or sun exposure. Soyabean oil contains specific
antioxidants which helps in maintaining the skin health and gives the special
glow to the face.Antioxidant such as vitamin E and Vitamin B complex prevents
the development of appearance of wrinkles. Also, by eating soyabean based
products one can protect the skin and maintain skin’s good health.Soybean oil
helps in develop more glowing skin and brighter skin but even out the skin tone
and improve skin texture as well. Palm Oil: Palm oil is rich
in antioxidants such as vitamin A, and E. Dr. Betty Kamen recommends palm oil
because of its high concentrations of vitamin E to protect skin cells and
improve overall health . She holds a Ph.D. with graduate degrees in psychology
and nutrition. Dr. Kamen also says that palm oil contains vitamins D and K,
which are not present in other oils. The rich nutrient content in palm oil
makes it ideal for your hair and skin. The moisture content in palm oil is very
beneficial for hair and skin. This oil contains lipids and saturated fats that
feed the hair shaft, eliminating dryness. Palm oil can be a deep
hair-conditioning treatment . Simply apply palm oil to wet hair and put on a
shower cap. Rinse after 30 minutes or sleep with the treatment on overnight.
The moisture beads in palm oil will improve the texture and quality of your
hair by making your locks soft and manageable. Palm oil can also be a
moisturizer for your skin. Your skin absorbs everything you put on it, and palm
oil is a natural substitute for a chemical-based moisturizer. After cleansing,
simply rub palm oil on your face and body in circular motions. The oil is
lightweight and will not clog pores. Palm oil contains natural antibacterials
that fight acne bacteria. Using palm oil on your skin can help maintain
moisturized, yet clear skin. Dryness can actually cause the skin to become
irritated and sensitive, which can lead to acne. Palm oil is beneficial if you
have a cut or scrape on your skin, because the oil will kill germs. This
antibacterial oil is also good for your hair and scalp because it can prevent
scalp acne and dry scalp. Palm oil is rich in vital nutrients. These vitamins
are essential for healthy hair and skin. Vitamins A and E are free radical
neutralizers. Free radicals are unpaired molecules in the body that cause
destruction of your cells. These vitamins fight free radicals, helping to
protect and preserve your cells, resulting in healthier hair and skin. When
hair is lacking nutrition, you will have dry, brittle hair. Palm Kernel Oil: Palm oil
is the largest natural source of tocotrienol, part of the vitamin E family.
Palm oil is also high in vitamin K and dietary magnesium. Palm Kernel Oil is
very similar in structure to Coconut Oil and Babassu Oil. Many Soap Makers will
use Palm Kernel Oil instead of Coconut Oil, if they find the Coconut Oil to be
drying on their skin type. Palm Kernel Oil is high in lauric acid and produces
a cleansing, hard bar of soap with a nice, full lather that features fluffy
bubbles. Palm Kernel Oil also causes Soap Making formulas to saponify quickly.
Palm Kernel Oil battles dirt and grime - as it dissolves oil and dirt in the
water. Aloe Vera Oil: Aloe vera oil has exhibited anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal
and anti-inflammatory properties. Containing a host of beneficial compounds,
the aloe vera extract has also been shown interesting results when used in
conjunction with conventional cancer treatment. It can influence and stimulate
assorted factors of the immune system by reducing the inflammation and blood
supply to tumors, and can prevent certain compounds from being absorbed by the
liver. Externally, aloe vera oil can be used to induce cell regeneration, treat
skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne and skin ulcers, as well as
surgical wounds. This is thought to be because aloe vera oil contains vitamin E
and C, as well as zinc and polysaccharides which aid in stimulating epidermal
growth and cell repair. Beeswax: Beeswax is a
colorless liquid secreted by female worker bees as they build the honeycomb
walls. According to Botanical.com, "The wax is secreted from wax glands on
the underside of the bee's abdomen and is molded into six-sided cells which are
filled with honey, then capped with more wax. When honey is harvested, the top
layer of wax that covers the cells, or the cappings, must be removed from each
hexagon-shaped cell." To produce one pound of wax, a bee consumes an
estimated six to eight pounds of honey, according to Honeyflowfarms.com
Absolute Astronomy reports that bees fly approximately 150,000 miles, or the
distance of six earth orbits, to produce only one pound of beeswax. Beeswax
properties work in concert with cosmetics. According to the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), beeswax is easily
incorporated with water in oil or oil in water emulsions. An excellent
emollient and support for moisturizers, beeswax provides skin protective action
of a nonocclusive type, bestows consistency to emulsions and oil-gels and
reinforces the action of detergents. Nonallergic, beeswax also sustains
sunscreen action with its water repellent properties, combines well with
multiple ingredients, contains elasticity and provides greater permanence on
skin or lip surfaces. Basil Essential Oil Properties:
