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.

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.

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.

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 and conditioning agent all in one.  This ingredient is useful in formulating facial washes or skin cleansers. Is safely used as a foaming agent for toothpastes and other dental products.

Use level:1-3%.
