• Almond Oil - Provides minerals, vitamins and proteins that are essential for beautiful skin. Penetrates skin easily and provides a protective barrier against the elements. May be used as a carrier oil, massage oil, or for soap-making.
• Aloe/Seaweed Gel - Originally marketed as an "eye gel" (perfect for under-eye puffiness and discoloration) we've found that this cooling green gel is ideal for use with our facial and body clay masks. You can use this gel "as is" for skin and hair care, sunburn, windburn - anywhere you would normally use aloe vera gel - but with the added vitamins and minerals of seaweed. The gel makes a perfect nighttime moisturizer, and is also excellent to use under makeup. This seaweed is of the "green" variety. Contains: Aqua, Aloe barbadensis, Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Algae, Chondrus crispus, Limonium vulgare, Thymus serpyllum, Fucus vesiculosus, Hamamelis virginiana, Carbomer, PVP, Propylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Alcohol, Sodium Benzoate, Methylparaben, Sorbic Acid, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, and Methylisothiazolinone

There is no addition of DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) or anything else. It is semi-liquid because the procedure is to stop the solvent evaporation before the end, leaving around 5% of the alcohol in it in order to keep it semi-liquid. Most of the benzoin resin you find on the market is cut at 50 percent with DPG. NOTE: This is a very thick, dark colored product. It is up to the customer to figure out how to work with this product and/or incorporate it into their recipe. Warming the jar or bottle may help, as well as dissolving it in jojoba, vodka, Everclear, or isopropyl alcohol. Sold by weight.
• Benzyl Alcohol - Because it has only a relatively faint odor, it is used as a solvent and diluting agent in the manufacture of perfumes. Benzyl alcohol is produced naturally by many plants and is commonly found in fruits and teas. It is also found in a variety of essential oils including jasmine, hyacinth, and ylang-ylang. Benzyl alcohol is used as a general solvent for inks, paints, lacquers, and epoxy resin coatings. It is also a precursor to a variety of esters, used in the soap, perfume, and flavor industries.

• Coffee Butter - The market has recently been flooded with coffee based skin care products. Coffee extract is being used in slimming cosmetics due to the natural caffeine content of coffee beans. Coffee butter is produced by hydrogenating the cold pressed oil from roasted coffee beans with other vegetable oils. The light hydrogenation process creates a butter with good oxidative stability and a smooth, silky feel and a wonder coffee aroma. In addition, the extract has been found to be a powerful antioxidant. The high content of unsaponifiables matter in coffee oil has made it popular in cosmetics too, because the oil offers natural protection from ultraviolet light and is becoming a popular ingredient in sunscreen products. Our coffee butter is rich in phytosterols which promote excellent moisture retention, quick penetration and a good adherence in cosmetics. Coffee butter is semi-soft and light brown in color. It does not have caffeine in it as caffeine is a water soluble component of the bean but the aroma is of pure coffee. Use coffee butter at 3-10% in soaps, lotions, creams, lip balms etc. It can also be used as is.
• Comfrey Infused Herbal Oil - An extremely soothing, softening and healing oil for  the skin. Comfrey leaf contains a certain protein that activates new cell growth, and is therefore perfect for dry, chapped skin, cuts, abrasions, wounds, bites, stings, or other skin irritations. It also helps to reduce swelling and inflammation around fractures. If using the oil on open skin, be sure that the site is well cleaned as any dirt or debris may be sealed in the wound and could then cause infection. Comfrey heals the skin very quickly!
• Cottonseed Oil - Used in soaps, creams, and cosmetics.  Also often used in salad oils, mayonnaise, fried foods, candies (particularly chocolates) and used to polish fruits.
• Cyclomethicone - Used to blend with fragrance oils and perfume oils for after bath body mists. This product will produce a luxurious body spray that feels dry. Cyclomethicone is used in a wide variety of cosmetic applications such as antiperspirants, deodorants, lotions, creams, hair sprays, bath oils, makeup and nail polish. For making clear sprays, pour cyclomethicone in bottle and add fragrance oil. Use in ratios of fragrance oil to Cyclomethicone from 1:3, to 1:6, (1 part fragrance to 3 parts Cyclomethicone) or greater. Cyclomethicone, when blended with fragrance oil, should be bottled in PET containers with a fine mist sprayer (optional). Do NOT use PVC containers, as the fragrance oil will tend to breakdown and degrade the PVC. Cyclomethicone is a clear, odorless silicone, and leaves a silky-smooth feel when sprayed on the skin. Ideal for body sprays, lotions creams, bath salts, hair care, linen sprays etc. and stays completely blended and crystal clear without shaking. Directions: Lotions: 1-20% to provide a soft velvety feel. Bath Salts: Use instead of glycerin to add sheen to your bath salts and a silky feel to the bath water. Hair Care: Spray on wet hair for easy combing or spray on hair to manage "frizz". After Bath Oil: Blend with your favorite oil blend, add fragrance and you have a wonderful bath oil. Room Sprays, Linen Sprays & Dry Perfume Oil: No more wet linens!

Ethyl Oleate has been identified as a primer pheromone in honeybees.
   
• Evening Primrose Oil - Relieves sunburn and minor skin irritations, relieves dry, chapped skin, and builds strong fingernails (massage into fingernails before bedtime).
• Flax Seed Oil - Flaxseed Oil is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid. The body cannot perform properly without two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids - alpha linolenic acid (Omega-3) and linolenic acid (Omega-6). These two acids are called essential fatty acids (EFA) because they cannot be synthesized by the body. Flaxseed oil is a rich source of EFA's Omega-3 and Omega-6 in proper balance. It is often used for the reversal of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, premenstrual syndrome, and inflammatory conditions, and arthritis
• Fuller's Earth, U.S.P. Grade - The most astringent clay of all. Best used on oily or problem skin. Can be used as a "dry shampoo" due to its oil absorption properties.
• Germaben II - Used as a preservative, Germaben II is mixed at a rate of 0.3% to a maximum of 1.0%, by product weight. In other words, a 4 fl oz bottle of Germaben II would protect 33 to 110 pounds of lotion, shampoo, etc. Germaben II contains: propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, and propylparaben.
• Glycerin, U.S.P. Grade -  Widely used in creams, lotions and soap. This product is made from the coconut and has the unique ability to "draw" moisture from the air thereby keeping moisture locked in your skin.

• Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap - Goat's Milk - Made with pure English goat's milk, this soap base is rich and creamy, with excellent lather and a neutral odor. No artificial colors added.

Neutral, with a 7.8 Ph, high natural glycerin content, excellent mold release function, odorless base, for superior fragrance lift, non-yellowing (even at high temperatures), compatible with a wide range of fragrances, vegetable-based melt and pour soap, no animal ingredients, very clear (transparent and colorless for excellent color saturation) functions well under a wide temperature range (from 140 F to 180 F). Suspending base can be used to create a decorative soap bar (like adding fine glitter) or a functional exfoliating bar (use finely ground cranberry seed, apricot meal, jojoba spheres, herbs etc).

Some trial and error is required with this product, as some additives may be too heavy for the suspending properties of the base to work properly. Users should try adding their ingredients at a slightly cooler temperature than normal, as the base will be thicker and more likely to suspend additives.

The key ingredient in the Suspending M&P base is "Silica". Silica creates a suspending matrix within the formulation, but that very property can also be apt to trap in more air and create a cloudy effect. Therefore, when stirring in additives, it should be done very gently and avoid any abrupt stirring as this can inadvertently welcome air into the formulation and cause unwanted cloudiness of the base.

• Hemp Seed Oil - Hemp oil has the least amount of saturated fatty acids and the highest amount of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) which makes it the perfect ingredient in anti-inflammatory skin care products. Hemp oil aids in the healing of skin lesions, dry skin, inflammations of the skin and joints. For use in soaps, lotions, lip balms and special formulations for dry, damaged or aging skin.

Macadamia nut oil is high in Oleic, Palmitoleic, and Palmitic Acids, and has been promoted as a skin softener and restorer. Though macadamia nut oil is excellent as a massage oil, ours is a food grade product. Macadamia nut oil is 80% monounsaturated (olive oil is only 74%, and canola oil is only 58%). It is the highest level of all food oils in monounsaturated fat with only 12% saturated fat. Macadamia nut oil has a high smoke point (389 F, versus olive oil's 170 F) making it an excellent base for stir-frying your favorite veggies. Its slight nutty/buttery flavor makes it excellent for salads as well. So, use it for massage or for cooking! As nourishing as it is for your inner-self, it's just as nourishing for your outer-self!
• Mango Butter - A great moisturizer in skin care products and is also used to superfat soap. This is real mango butter and is extracted from the mango fruit. It has a slight yellowish color and almost no odor.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil, ORGANIC - Olive oil is high in oleic acid and is a good skin cell regenerator. It is traditionally included within soap, cream, balm, body butter, herbal infusion and hair care formulations. Olive oil attracts external moisture to the skin and still permits the skin to properly release sweat, shed dead skin and release sebum. It is a good oil for inclusion in massage oil formulations and it helps to sooth inflamed skin. Within soap making applications, soap makers often prefer olive oil to pomace because the high percentage of unsaponifiables in pomace can cause it to saponify too quickly or overreact with other ingredients such as fragrance and essential oils. The olive oil will also give you a whiter bar than pomace.
• Peach Kernel Oil - Peach Kernel Oil is similar to Apricot Kernel Oil in that it is a light, penetrating oil which is good for mature and/or sensitive skin.

• Potassium Sorbate - A food grade preservative in powder form.
• Propylene Glycol (PG) - Propylene Glycol serves as a humectant - a substance that helps to retain moisture content.  It is also a wetting agent and solvent, so it is used by many cosmetic manufacturers to facilitate the process of dissolving and combining ingredients.  Propylene Glycol is widely used in skin cream, and many other personal care products.
• Pumice - All our grades of ground pumice are an all-natural, American made product. Perfect for adding to your soap base to make a gardener's or mechanic's soap. Also for use in face body scrubs.
• Rose Hip Oil - Used for generations by the Andean Indians for its healing and skin care benefits. Scientific research has shown that the oil contains substances which retard the aging process of the skin. Naturally contains more than 80% linolenic acid (Vitamin A). This oil has a slightly green marshy order and is perfect for use with approximately three percent of a complimentary essential oil like rose, lavender, bergamot, chamomile, jasmine, or a combination of these.
• Sea Clay - Basically the same as our other clays, but contains a very high mineral content making it most suitable for oily or problem skin.
• Sea Kelp (Atlantic) - Wonderful when added to soap, facial clay masks, body masks, as a horse vitamin/mineral supplement, and excellent as garden/plant food too.

Please note that it might clump or "speckle" in melt and pour soap if too much is used, but does not migrate in layered melt and pour soap.
• Triethanolamine - A liquid alkali used to raise the pH of a product.
• Vitamin C - (Ascorbic Acid) Can be used whenever and wherever Vitamin C would normally be used.
• Wheat Germ Oil - An antioxidant high in vitamins A, D and E, this oil is best used in conjunction with other carrier oils. Use 20% wheat germ to 80% of another carrier oil (almond, jojoba, grapeseed, etc.). Wheat germ oil will extend the shelf life of other oils when used as above. A thick oil, it may be used "as is" in small amounts. Excellent for stretch marks, wrinkles and scarring.
• Witch Hazel (86%) - Witch hazel is commonly used as an astringent and can also be used to make after shave, bath splashes, lotions and creams. It's wonderful for making cleansing water for babies.
