Emulsifying Wax
NF A blend with a cocoa & palm oil base. NOTE:
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.
They did, however advise us that it is not
tested or treated with any of the following: detergent, fatty esters or SLS; and
to their knowledge, this product does not contain phosphorus. 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:
4 oz:$4.50; $10.50/lb.;
$21.00/kg (contact us if you wish to purchase amounts over 10kg.)

ESSENTIAL OIL DISPERSANT This
product is extracted from sweet almond oil 95% of the time or palm oil if sweet
almond oil is not available. The component extracted are the triglycerides,
which are the same in sweet almond as they are in palm. The extraction is done
using a combination of heat and pressure. The heat/pressure fractionation
process is the only way to produce the dispersant. (note: this is not the same
product as Polysorbate 20)
It blends your essential oils together with your water based treatments such as baths, body spritzers, room sprays and other items. Your essential oils will no longer float on top of your water. Simple to use, economical, just mix equal amounts of dispersant with your
essential oils, add your water mixture and you're done. Price:60ml.:$7.35 125ml.:$14.44
GERMALL PLUS (LIQUID) We have been getting so many requests for a mild preservative, that we have decided to put it up on our website for those of you who wish to make use of it in your products. A bit about our use of Germall Plus: When we made the decision to use a preservative in our lotion formulations for our clients safety, we went to the experts, and told them we wanted a safe, mild, preservative that would inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, molds and organisms in our products. They recommended Germall Plus. With Germall Plus, no other additional preservatives need to be added to the final product, saving formulation time and added expense. It is ideal for skin care applications, hair care and rinse off formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, gels, hair sprays and body wash formulations.

SODIUM LACTATE
One of the latest ingredients that's been causing a buzz among Soapmakers
It has been reported that soap will harden in the mold quicker then a
batch without Sodium Lactate, as well as losing less weight when curing.
Those who have tried it also say that soaps unmold easier when using Sodium
lactate in their recipe.
Sodium
Lactate (a natural salt derived from lactic acid) is best known for it's
use as a moisturizer in skin care products. In skin, sodium lactate is
part of the natural moisturizing factor. They perform many functions in
skin care products such as: Moisturize, increase hydration,
boost humectancy, exfoliate, lighten skin, regulate pH, and act as antimicrobial
agents. The product we carry is a 60% solution (60% sodium lactate and 40%
water) To incorporate into soap, those who have tried it,
recommend adding 1/2- 1 oz of SL per pound of oils. Price: 250ml:$2.75 500ml:$4.50 l

Sunscreen
Powder Parsol®
1789 (INCI:Butyl
Methoxydibenzoylmethane ) is an advanced UVA sunscreen that is becoming more frequently used in sun
care products in the United States and Canada.
We are quite
excited about this product especially after seeing
Dr. Pat Wexler, one of the most sought-after dermatologists in the USA
on the "Oprah" show recently.
On the show Dr. Wexler said:
"There is such thing as a miracle anti-aging cream…and it's sunscreen.
She then told the audience to: "Look
for Parsol,
a new ingredient in sunscreen that protects against the UVA and UVB rays that
cause cancer and aging."
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
level:1.5%-3.0% added to the oil phase Price:100g-$9.50
Sodium
Lauroyl Sarcosinate
An extremely mild surfactant, having a good wetting, foaming

found in starfish and sea urchins. Because of their excellent foaming
qualities, they are also safely used in shampoos.
