NF A blend with a cocoa & palm oil base.

This Wax is a blend that the manufacturer has applied and obtained a
nomenclature for, which means that the ingredient list is legally protected,
so we are unable to obtain an exact ingredient listing for this product. We've used it extensively in our products, and find it to create a very
consistent product when compared to other waxes. Easy to incorporate, it is a
mild ingredient with a proven safety record and has been used successfully in
the cosmetic industry for years. It produces thick, solid emulsions without the
addition of stiffening waxes, even at concentrations as low as 5%, although 10%
may provide superior stability. No neutralization is needed in the formulation
of creams and lotions. Comes in bead form. Price:$10.50/lb. or

New-Colloidal Oatmeal
Colloidal
oatmeal is simply oatmeal which has been ground to a fine powder and then
suspended in water. The pulverized oats actually absorb water, turning it
slightly milky and thick. When added to a bath, the hydrated granules help
moisturize, soothe and relieve minor skin irritations.
The
real benefits of colloidal oatmeal come from its ability to bind to the skin.
And because of its affinity for water, it acts as a moisturizer by attracting
and holding water on the skin's surface. In addition, protein components, such
as cellulose and fibre, anchor moisturizers for long-lasting action. The result
is softer, more elastic skin. This binding action also creates a barrier which
protects the skin from harmful substances. In addition, colloidal oatmeal acts
as a soothing agent which helps reduce redness and itching.
Minor
skin irritations caused by dermatitis, eczema, poison oak, chicken pox, insect
bites, sunburn and excessively dry skin may all be temporarily relieved by
colloidal oatmeal baths.

New Ingredient-Sunscreen
Powder Parsol®
1789 is an advanced UVA sunscreen that is becoming more frequently used in sun
care products in the United States and Canada. It
protects against long wavelength UVA rays, while most traditional products with
sunscreen protect primarily against UVB and short wavelength UVA rays. Long
wavelength UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays and can cause
excessive dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, irregular skin pigmentation and even
a weakening of the skin's immune system, and cancer. (We
cannot claim an SPF value when using this ingredient in our products due to
Health Canada Regulations-See Health Canada's website for information) Use
