THE HOME APOTHECARY Home Crafted Recipes Using Herbs and Essential Oils by Jacki Ritz I’M Jackie, a Thirtysomething Mother of Two and Wife of an Army Veteran THE HOME APOTHECARY Home Crafted Recipes Using Herbs and Essential Oils By Jacki Ritz I’m Jackie, a thirtysomething mother of two and wife of an Army Veteran. I’m the headmistress behind The Paleo Mama website and author of Everyday Natural: Living a Pure and Simple Life Is Not As Complicated As You Think 1. My journey into crafting my own herbal recipes started when I was pregnant with my first child nearly 11 years ago. I remember reading the ingredients for the first time on my sunscreen bottle and then searching online for what “oxybenzone” could do to my unborn baby. Then I found out that my hair dye had lead in it, my body wash had known carcinogens in it, and in my deodorant was aluminum, which is a known hormone disruptor. So I purged my drawers and dresser tops of these dangerous products and started making my own. Not only did I discover that it was fun to create homemade products for my health, my home, and my children, but it was also so much cheaper, and I was saving money! This passion into getting my hands dirty with ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, cacao butter, bentonite clay, essential oils and herbs, led me to the desire to learn more about these beautiful gifts of the earth through having my own herbal garden, dabbling into permaculture principles, attending plant and mushroom walks, and, eventually, through attending herbal medicine school to become a trained herbalist. I am confident that once you make your first batch of homemade body butter, or create a nightly ritual of sipping on my Golden Milk latte, you will fall in love with the art of herbal medicine making. There is something so cathartic about creating your own healing recipes and seeing your own apothecary overflowing with tinctures, infused honeys, body butters, home-crafted cleaning products, medicinal bone broth, and delightful tea blends. I hope you enjoy these recipes and are able to create some beautiful gifts for yourself, your family and your friends.

  • Oil Cleansing for Naturally Perfect Skin
    Oil Cleansing for Naturally Perfect Skin wellnessmama.com/7569/skin-oil-cleansing/ I’ve posted many natural living and natural beauty ideas before, and this is one of the most simple and effective natural beauty tips I’ve ever found. I admit, I was skeptical before I first tried this, since my skin is naturally oily and I wasn’t sure it would work for me. I had also had very acne prone skin when I was younger, and was afraid that a method like this would bring back the acne… I was wrong! What is Oil Cleansing? Though it sounds somewhat crazy at first, the idea of using natural oils to cleanse the skin gently actually makes a lot of sense. The basic idea of oil cleansing is to use natural oils in specific combination to cleanse the skin and naturally balance the skin’s natural oils. This produces much more nourished and moisturized skin that traditional soap and detergent based facial cleaners. As the website dedicated to the oil cleansing method explains: “The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of the same oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over- compensating in oil production.” Even Acne.org explains the benefits of oil cleansing: “Fact: Oil dissolves oil.

The biocosmetic potential of the castor oil was evaluated for hair through physico-chemical characterization. The various physicochemical parameters (iodine value, pH value, specific gravity, refractive index, peroxide value, etc) were tested in accordance with American standard testing method specifications and compared with argan oil. Accordingly, the parameters tested comply with some journals dealing with cosmetics. Biocosmetic has high potential as a raw material for synthetic cosmetics or blend stock substitution for cosmetics without any modification. The advantage of castor oil over other oils (sunflower, olive, soy bean, corn) would lie in the oil price.

  • Argan Oil, Murumuru Butter, Safflower
    Yep, The Oil Cleansing Method REALLY Works (really!) By: Stephanie Pelczar How can OIL cleanse skin? ​ ​ Short answer: When you rub oil onto your skin, it pulls the sebum and dirt out of your pores, leaving behind clean, moisturized skin. BUT the type of oil you use matters! Not all oils have the same properties, and some will work better on certain types of skin than others. It depends on the comedogenic rating of the oil. Comedogenic- what is that? Comedogenic means that it causes comedones- or acne/clogs pores instead of cleansing pores. The comedogenic scale rates oils from 0-5, zero being noncomedogenic (won’t clog pores), up to 5. While highly moisturizing, oils with a comedogenic rating of 5 can be counterproductive to use for skin cleansing purposes if you have acne-prone skin. Here are some oils/butters and their comedogenic rating: ZERO, 0: Argan oil, Murumuru Butter, Safflower Oil (high linolenic), Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Tucuma Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, Kokum Butter, Mango Butter, Poppy Seed Oil, Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Watermelon seed oil, ONE, 1: Babassu Oil, Castor Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Neem Oil, Milk Thistle, Perilla Oil, Pomegranate Oil, Rosehip Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Guava Seed Oil, Calendula Oil, Kiwi Seed Oil, Maracuja/Passion Fruit Seed Oil TWO, 2: Sweet Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Andiroba Oil, Coconut Oil (Virgin), Evening Primrose Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sesame Oil, Borage Oil, Tamanu Oil THREE, 3: Macadamia nut oil, Avocado oil, Chia seed Oil, FOUR, 4: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil (Unfractionated), Flaxseed Oil, Cupuacu Butter, Palm Oil FIVE, 5: SoyBean OIl, Wheat Germ Oil How do you perform the oil cleansing method on your face once you have the right oils for your skin type? Place a few drops of the oil/oil blend onto the palm of your hand or on your fingertip.

  • DIY Beauty Transcript
    My name's Brittany Lynch, and I will be teaching you how to make your own all-natural beauty products today. I'm really looking forward to hosting today's class simply because I wish it was around when I first started. I know that often when people think about making their own beauty products, they think it's a simple following a recipe. The problem is following recipes can be limiting and recipes really are best used as a guideline. Knowing how to modify the recipe in order to get the end-results that you want for your skin or your hair or your health benefits is really important, whether you want to make it for personal use or to sell and use as a way to grow a business, I think this is information that you're going to be really appreciative of having after you've gone through these video trainings. It's information that I just wish I had and I wish it was put into a clear, concise presentation like this. I'm going to do my best to really kind of blow you out of the water in terms of over-delivering here. Let's go ahead and get started. How to make your own, all-natural beauty products The first thing I want to do is I just want to talk about what you can expect to learn from this course. The first thing that I think is really important is my goal is to really help you understand the ingredients that go into common DIYbeauty recipes and how to make substitutions and alterations based on your skin type and the ingredients that you have available.

EMPOWERED BEAUTY: YOUR GUIDE TO NATURAL SKIN AND SELF CARE Hello Beautiful and thank you for downloading your Empowered Beauty 5 Day Challenge! I know a few things about skin care. These are my before and after photos of what my skin used to look like. My acne started when I was 14 and only went away a few years ago after I completely cleaned up my diet and switched to natural skin care products even though I had tried EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT you can imagine before that. The photo on the left is from 2001. I was 28, had 2 kids, was doing my MA in English and Comparative Literature and this was the face I had to walk out with everyday. You can see my acne on my forehead, chin, cheeks--all over really. Except no-one really saw it like that because I had it covered up with about 6 inches of heavy foundation and concealer every day. But if it was a hot day, as that day was, the makeup would slide right off because my complexion was just SO oily. Yup. www.danadinnawi.com These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
