ACOJOBA - Lotion Magic

   What does alchemy and lotion making have in common?
Magic transformation! 

Simplistically speaking lotion is a mix of oils and water.  However these two do not stay mixed for very long without a little bit of help which comes in the form of an emulsifier. The emulsifier holds the two together. And just as in an alchemic metamorphoses these three ingredients turn into gold - or rather lotion.

My lotions contain natural oils, butters and an assortment of botanical additives. They do not contain formaldehyde, phthalates or parabenes.

Aloe Vera Juice is a great anti-inflammatory. It binds moisture to the skin and has skin barrier properties. It helps itchy skin and stimulates cell proliferation.

Coconut Oil is beneficial for all types of skin. It contains ferulic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties, catechins and lauric acid, which has antibacterial properties. And best of all it is a great moisturizer. It has been used for centuries in remedies for skin and hair. Fractionated coconut oil or caprylic/capric acid has had some of the fatty acids removed to give it a lighter feel with the same moisturizing effect.

Jojoba Oil is actually a wax. It is similar to the body’s own sebum. It penetrates the skin to sooth and moisturize.

Mango Butter offers moisture and a protective barrier to the skin. It is said to have anti inflammatory, anti viral and anti bacterial properties.

Rose Hip Oil. This wonderful red oil has wound healing properties. It contains beta carotenoids, which helps with free radicals. It is said to reduce signs of photo aging and fine lines due to sun exposure.

Honeyquat is made from honey. It is a humectan which increases the moisture uptake ability of your skin.
