  • Coconut Oil Benefits: the Incredible Power of Coconut Oil
    Coconut Oil Benefits: The Incredible Power of Coconut Oil By Ty Bollinger 84,192 Total Views | 29,747 Facebook Shares In the 1960’s, food manufacturers wanted consumers to buy their margarines and hydrogenated oils. To do that, they had to “discredit” the products people had always used in their homes to prepare their food. Olive oil, coconut oil, and lard were no longer “good for you,” they said. The marketing campaign for their synthetic products began and coconut oil was portrayed as an artery-clogging and cholesterol-raising substance. People were told that it contained too much saturated fat and contributed to heart attacks. Flash forward four decades later. In the midst of an obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer explosion, scientists discover that it is not healthy fats found in coconut oil and other natural products that are bad for you. It is the very goods the food manufacturers had been pushing on their consumers for thirty years. The trans-fats contained in these “fake foods” were incredibly dangerous to your entire body. High fat, high sugar, and high carb diets were put under the microscope and found guilty. Over-processed, pre-made synthetic foods filled with additives, preservatives, dyes, and high levels of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other unnatural fillers were found to be the true culprits of the Western world’s health decline. After all these years, coconut oil is getting the positive scientific attention it deserves. There’s a reason cultures around the world have been using it for thousands of years. The benefits of coconut oil have filled entire books.

  • Jojoba Esters on Skin Barrier Function, Skin Hydration, and Consumer Preference
    Title Effect of Jojoba Esters on Skin Barrier Function, Skin Hydration, and Consumer Preference Author Tiffany N. Oliphant, M.S., C.C.R.C. and Robert A. Harper, Ph.D., Consultant Abstract Previous literature shows that jojoba oil and jojoba oil derivatives have multiple skin benefits associated with anti-inflammation, barrier function, and skin hydration. The current research explores the action of Jojoba Esters with different melting points on the improvement of barrier function after sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) insult, reduction of barrier disruption when applied prior to SLS insult, and on skin hydration as compared to known petrolatum-alternatives. In addition, a consumer preference study was carried out comparing Jojoba Esters with a known marketed petrolatum alternative ingredient. The data show that Jojoba Esters have the capability of reducing damage to the skin barrier, as measured by TEWL, in a dose dependent manner, and can accelerate the recovery of the SLS damaged skin barrier. The data also show that the Jojoba Esters, when added to a vehicle formula, produced statistically significant increases in skin hydration when compared to the vehicle and to the marketed petrolatum-alternative ingredients formulated in the same vehicle. Moreover, the formula containing the Jojoba Esters produced levels of skin hydration that were not statistically significantly different from 10% petrolatum formulated into the same vehicle. Additionally, the consumer preference study showed that the subjects preferred the Jojoba Esters formula over the petrolatum alternative ingredient formula with regard to skin moistness, suppleness, and smoothness/softness as well as stickiness and residue of the formulas immediately after application.

They are both emulsions. An emulsion is a system of two (or more) immiscible materials (usually liquids) in which one material (the dispersed/internal phase) is suspended or dispersed throughout another material (the continuous/external phase) in separate droplets. Most emulsions fall into two different classes, oil in water emulsions and water in oil emulsions. In oil in water emulsions, we have hundreds of tiny oil droplets surrounded by water. In water in oil emulsions, we have the opposite situation. We have hundreds of water droplets surrounded by oil. One of the simplest emulsions is a simple vinegar and oil salad dressing. One of the problems with this simple emulsion is that the oil and vinegar don’t mix. To emulsify the vinegar into the oil, we can use an egg yolk. Egg yolks contain a natural emulsifier call Lecithin. Most creams and lotions on the market today are oil in water emulsions. 2393 Blaine Avenue Orono, MN 55391 (952) 906-0771 CONVERGENT COSMETICS FAX: (952) 906-9781 www.ConvergentCosmetics.com In 1949, William C.

This is a simple and cost ef- ficient method which has been used for decades and advised for overall maintenance of oral hygiene. However, there have been contradicting results regarding the efficacy of oil pulling on tooth whitening in previous studies. In this study, natural teeth (premolar teeth) were collected and divided into four groups and preserved in different mediums for 24 hours for a period of seven days to study the effects on hard tissue enamel. The teeth were observed every 24 hours and the difference in tooth whitening was compared using a tooth shade guide and evaluated for observable changes in colour.
