Both blue and green yarrow essential oils are distilled from achillea millefolium. The obvious difference between these two oils is the color. During the steam distillation of the herb, a compound called matricine, is converted to azulene or chamazulene. This gives the blue yarrow oil its distinctive blue color. Azulene and chamazulene are not present in the actual plant. It is only through the application of heat and the process of steam distillation that azulene and chamazulene develop.
Basil oil is obtained through hydro distillation from fresh plant material. The Basil oil is thin transparent fluid with light yellow to yellow-green color with aroma characteristic of Basil. A native of Africa and Seychelles, it is grown as popular culinary herb and has small white flowers. The essence is distilled from leaves and has light greenish yellow with sweet green overtones. The Basil oil derived is known for intensely fresh, sweet-spicy and vibrant aroma.
Lemon Basil Essential Oil has a sweet lemon aroma with the characteristic basil herbal notes but the body notes linger with a complex lemon-clean scent. The citral content is a natural occurrence in this subspecies of Basil. It is in fact a hybrid of Ocimum Americanum and Ocimum Basilicum. Sometimes it is mistakenly referred to as lemon balm which is an entirely different plant. The properties usually attributed to other basil oils are also consistent with this pleasant variety.
Only after they reach their maximum solubility in water, do they start to collect in a separate layer on the surface of the water (the essential oil). Many of the water-soluble plant compounds and some of the oil-soluble compounds wind up in the distillation water.
During distillation, componentsof the plant are carried over by the steam and found in the waterleft when the steam condenses. Hydrosols should contain bothmicroscopic particles of essential oil as well as beneficial plantcompounds that are water-soluble and thus not present in essentialoils.
Their aroma is generally, but not always, similar to that of the essential oil, but the aroma is usually much more subtle. Hydrosols contain small amounts of essential oil.
They also contain water-soluble components of the plant material that may not be present in the essential oil. The aroma, therefore, may differ somewhat from the plant's essential oil.
Some hydrosols do smell surprisingly different from the essential oil.
Generally, Hydrosolsare neutral to slightly acidic, and are a good match for the skin’snatural pH.
Hydrosols are less volatile than essential oils, so they can be used for a wide variety of purposes without being diluted.
Hydrosols can be used as:

What is Tinosan SDC (Silver Dihydrogen Citrate or Silver Ion 2400)
Tinosan SDC is a relatively new to the market as an all-natural preservative and antimicrobial based on the stabilized silver complex produced by a unique electrochemical process with silver and citric acid. It is water-soluble silver dihydrogen citrate.
It is formaldehyde-free, non-halogenated, contains no phenols and no quaternary ammonium compounds. It passed challenges tests for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, Yeast, Molds and Fungi and fulfilled USP test requirements in formulations with anionic and nonionic emulsifiers and shampoos.
Tinosan SDC provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is effective against unwanted skin bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. Its fast-killing activity makes Tinosan SDC an effective antimicrobial for home and personal care products.
Bacteria have been exposed to silver ions for over 4 billion years and no widespread resistance has been evident to date. The risk for microbial resistance to Tinosan SDC is considered extremely low.
Tinosan SDC has meet FDA standards for these intended uses:
Applications include: Deodorant active for Personal Care Products
The antimicrobial active ingredient for Personal Care Products
Preservative for Personal Care Products
Biocide for Household and hospital products
GRAS - Generally recommended as Safe
Tinosan SDC is a colorless, odorless, low viscous liquid. It has no known adverse effects on human health and is classified as not hazardous under OSHA regulations.
Its LD50 is >5000 ml/kg. (Note: The LD50 of water is around 190 ml/kg)
In testing on humans, Tinosan SDC caused No skin or eye irritation and is not a skin sensitizer.
Usage and incorporation:
Tinosan pH = 1.4 to 1.6
Tinosan SDC comes directly from the manufacturer and is made here in the USA.
For formulas that are sensitive to acids, Silver Ion 2400 can be pre-neutralized prior to addition to the product.
Use in Skincare/personal care products @ 0.1% - 0.3%
Additionally, Tinosan SDC exhibits strong activity against Corynebacteria and significantly reduces body malodor in deodorant preparations, making it an excellent deodorant active.
Our extensive research over 18 years has shown that the efficacy of Silver Ion 2400 is not altered if precipitation or discoloration occurs.
Minimizing light exposure and packaging in non-transparent retail packaging is optimal to deter these, but each formulation is unique and may be more prone to these reactions.
* High salt (NaCl) concentrations (greater than 30%) can reduce the bactericidal activity of Silver Ion 2400
* Anionic surfactants in concentrations of 0.03% to 1% increase the biocidal efficacy of Silver Ion 2400.
* Extremely good compatibility has been shown in most formulations at a pH <7 with anionic and non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers and amphoteric surfactants but it is compatible within all pH ranges.
* Silver Ion 2400 is compatible with many other antimicrobial actives and most other preservatives.
* Silver Ion 2400 is highly water-soluble and easy to incorporate into the aqueous phase of gels, surfactants and emulsions made by the cold process.
* In the manufacturing of emulsions produced by the hot process, Silver Ion 2400 should preferably be added to the final formulation after the emulsion has cooled down, but this is not essential and does not alter its efficacy.
* The addition of Silver Ion 2400 to products with a pH lower than 8 and temps below 130 degrees are optimal in order to promote your formulation's stability and prevent possible precipitation and discoloration.
However, these parameters are not essential and the preservative system can be used in all pH ranges and temperatures.
Silver Ion 2400 is considered inert until combined with a formulation giving it indefinite shelf life.
It is light sensitive and should be stored in a container that protects it from light.
Final formulations sold in transparent packaging and exposure to bright light may experience a photoreaction or discoloration, but this does not decrease the antimicrobial effectiveness.
Products preserved with Silver Ion 2400 should ideally, be stored in ambient conditions and ideally used within 3 years of manufacturing.
Availability:
Silver Ion 2400 has not been widely advertised because the manufacturer believes, as we do, that the product sells itself. Many smaller businesses are now using it as their primary preservative system.
For those who are not sure about how to do the math, just review the chart below.

Additional Technical and Scientific Information:
Tinosan SDC is NOT colloidal Silver.
It is silver dihydrogen citrate and only contains Silver Ions which are positively charged in a base of citric acid and water.
Colloidal Silver particles are solid silver particles suspended in a liquid with a negative charge.
Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base.
The Silver Ions in Silver Dihydrogen Citrate, when they come in contact with the human body (because of their positive charge), quickly combine with chloride to form an insoluble compound called silver chloride which is is basically non-reactive in the body. If ingested the hydrochloric acid in the digestive tract supplies the chloride ions that will cause ionic silver to quickly form silver chloride, an insoluble compound that will not dissolve or deposit itself in the bodies tissuesand is quickly excreted by the kidneys in the urine. If ionic silver were to be absorbed into the bloodstream or interstitial spaces via the skin would encounter a large supply of chloride ions and again quickly form silver chloride and be excreted via the kidneys.
Food Allergens:
Silver Ion 2400 has been evaluated for the source of the raw materials used in production. There are no raw materials, including additives, used that have origin in peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts and or wheat or gluten. Based on this examination of the ingredients and their sources, Silver Ion 2400 is free of the specified known allergy stimulating food substances.
Argyria - is caused by Colloidal Silver.
Unlike Colloidal Silver, Silver Ion 2400 does not cause or contribute to Argyria.
Argyriais a blue skin discoloration resulting from excessive exposure to silver. Silver metal workers, people who mine silver, and people who take colloidal silver supplements can all develop this rare condition. Once argyriadevelops, it is very challenging to treat. Continued exposure to silver either through skin contact, ingestion or inhalation can result in severe complications.
There are two types of argyria: localized and universal.
Topical treatments such as nasal sprays contain silver compounds that can cause localized argyria at the mucus membranes. Some tattoo colors also have a silver base, which can cause localized argyria. Medications now seldom include silver compounds, and reputable tattoo parlors do not employ silver in any of their dyes. Tooth fillings made from silver do contribute to slight risk for developing the condition, so as a result, fillings do not usually contain silver today.
Universal argyriaoccurs when people ingest silver particles in medicines or through exposure to fine silver dust. In these cases, the blue or grey color of the skin is more diffuse, but may at first be noted mostly on areas of the skin that receive sun exposure. The face, hands, and chest may all turn a bluish-gray. In the worst cases, all of the skin will turn blue, and organs like the spleen and liver may also have a bluish cast.
As you can imagine, it is not possible for us to test every aroma with every known or unknown recipe or formulation.
Our testing with our aromas against essential oils show them to generally need to be used at the same percentage as formulations using essential oils. Sometimes even less is needed.
However, many of the scents have no essential oil equivalent to test against.

It is native to Europe and it is known elsewhere, including North America, as an introduced species and sometimes a weed.
Cosmetic Uses: Comfrey Extract can be used in skin and hair care products, lotions and creams.
Cinnamon ( Cinnamomum cassia ) has been around forever and was considered by ancient civilizations as being one of the most important spices in the world. Since then, cinnamon as an ingredient has continued to live up to its reputation. In beauty and skincare, cinnamon oil is heavily used. Because cinnamon does contain slight astringent properties, sensitive skin types may want to use caution when thinking about including cinnamon oil in their skincare. However, cinnamon combined with other ingredients is less likely to cause skin irritation. Because cinnamon oil produces a strong stimulating and warming effect when applied to the skin,the most popular use of cinnamon oil is in massage.
A perfect way to infuse the natural properties of cinnamon into skin and hair care products, lotions and creams, for all skin types.
Body scrubs. Mix in 2 teaspoons black pepper and cinnamon; add some olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. This scrub cleanses skin and stimulates blood flow. Also it is very useful for people, who want to get more effect from physical exercises.
For deep cleansing of body skin you can prepare scrub from a glass sugar, half a glass olive oil and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix everything carefully and put on the body with massage movements.
Cinnamon hand soak. This soak will leave your hands (or even feet!) silky soft, and slightly scented with cinnamon. You need 2 cups water, 1 cup milk, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch cinnamon. Mix all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl large enough to fit both of your hands. Put the bowl in the microwave for 20 seconds, or until the mixture is quite warm, but still comfortable to touch. Soak your hands in the mixture for 10 minutes. When you are done soaking, take your hands out, rinse them briefly with lukewarm water, and pat dry. Add your favorite moisturizer if desired.

Red Iron Oxide
Yellow Undertone
Slightly more brown then CG100.
Iron Oxides are the most widely used of the Inorganic Pigments. There are 3 basic colors - Red, Black and Yellow Oxides. From these 3 oxides and the addition of Titanium Dioxide, you can achieve any shade of brown. If you are trying to create a skin tone foundation, blush, bronzer or other product this is where you start. Oxides are stable under normal pH ranges and have excellent light stability and are stable under normal pH ranges. One caution in using yellow or black oxide is to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures (300 degrees F). Yellow has a tendency to drift to the red side and black will drift to the brown side under heat conditions.
The shade characteristic of an iron oxide is known as an undertone. The red and black oxides may have either a blue or yellow undertone. By tinting with talc or titanium dioxide, a formulator can easily determine the undertone of an iron oxide.
This Red Iron Oxide (CG170) is both water and oil dispersible. It must be mixed using a shearing force to get it to blend. (Use a stick blender for a complete mix.)
For dry applications, simply mix with the base clay or powder or other dry medium.
This oxide can be used for eye makeup, lotions, creams and salts, scrubs, face powders, foundations, blushers, and cosmetics used in the area of the eye such as mascaras, eyeshadow, liners and to color or swirl soaps.

Kaolin Clay - Hydrous is a fluffy grayish - white clay also known as china. It is the purest of the clays.(See Kaolin Anhydrous for a whiter consistency and more purified Kaolin)
Cosmetic Uses:
Soap making: It adds a soft, slippery feel to soap bars. Adding this to your soap will also make shaving so much smoother for both men & women.
Bath bombs: Add kaolin clay to your bath bombs and they will cure more quickly. It will also reduce, if not eliminate cracking. By replacing half of your cornstarch with kaolin clay, bath bombs will cure in less than 24 hours and they will be rock hard, with little to no cracks.
Makeup: For handmade makeup, this is a must in powder foundations. Kaolin clay will absorb 1 1/2 times its own weight.
Eye Shadows: This clay is great to add to your mattes to give them better slip, or to tone down your oxides. It will also help to really spread your mica a long way.
Facial Masks: Use purified water to moisten your clay, you will only need a small amount. Add water to clay until it is a nice paste consistency and then add skin safe aromatherapy essential oils or infused water in place of purified water. This type of facial mask should only be used once a week on normal skin and up to 2x a week on oily skin complexions.
Hydrogenated castor oil or HCO, is also known as castor wax. The reason why it is called a wax is because the oil turns into hard, brittle and insoluble material that surprisingly has a lot of benefits in the manufacture of different kinds of products.
How Hydrogenated Castor Oil Is Made
First of all, the castor oil is extracted from castor beans. Once the pure castor oill is obtained, hydrogen is added to it in the presence of a nickel catalyst. Because of the exposure to hydrogen, the castor oil becomes highly viscous and gives it a wax-like consistency. In a more detailed sense, the hydrogenation of the oil is done by bubbling hydrogen gas through the oil. This process is also used in fats and oils used in cooking and processed goods. By bubbling the hydrogen through the oil, it slowly becomes thick and opaque. Contrary to castor oil which has a faint odor, the wax is odorless and the process of hydrogenation also works to increase its shelf life.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil Temperature Properties
The castor wax has a melting point of 61 – 69 degrees Centigrade which is moderately less than the boiling point. Heating the oil beyond these temperatures can cause the castor wax to melt and become liquid again. Once the temperature cools, it will re-harden.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil Cosmetic Uses
This type of castor oil is most commonly used in cosmetics. It is considered to be an organic ingredient since the hydrogenation process makes use of natural hydrogen gas that is mixed with naturally occurring castor beans. The most commonly known type of castor wax in the cosmetic arena is the hydrogenated castor oil. This type of castor oil is already approved by the Food and Drug Association, and it has also been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. It is said certain concentrations are safe to use on the skin.
Hydrogenated oils are commonly used in cosmetics because of their ability to help form emulsions by reducing surface tension of the substances that are to be emulsified. They also help other ingredients dissolve in solvents where they would otherwise not normally dissolve. In the cosmetic world, hydrogenated oils have their role in the production of acne products, deodorant sticks, anti-dandruff shampoos and other types of skin care products.
