Aromatherapy-Carrier Oils

Most essential oils are so strong that a little goes a long way. Essential oils should be diluted in carrier oils for use in massage. Avoid using mineral oils and baby oils for massage.

It is high in Vitamins A and B, which helps with healing and rejuvenating skin cells. It is used frequently in facial preparations and is good for all skin types, particularly for prematurely aged skin, sensitive, inflamed and dry skin. Quickly absorbs into the skin. Our body care oils are usually used in conjunction with our essential oils. Vegetable oils are produced from nuts, seeds, grains and beans. They are sometimes referred to as fixed oils because they are not as volatile (easily evaporate) as essential oils. Vegetable Oils make an excellent base in which to dilute essential oils for body care products. Our vegetable oils are 100% pure and natural. Our cosmetic oils (such as Lanolin or Shea Butter) work well as carriers for essential oils and moisturizers.

Vitamin E Oil (D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate 550 IU per ml) 8 oz: K

This is pure vegetable oil. There are eight naturally occuring forms of vitamin E, but one reigns supreme: alpha-tocopherol. The other seven forms of vitamin E cannot meet the body's vitamin E needs. In fact, alpha-tocopherol is so potent that the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin E is based on the body's requirement for alpha-tocopherol. Even the synthetic form of alpha-tocopherol, while beneficial, pales in comparison to naturally occurring alpha-tocopherol. Alpha-tocopherol is the predominant form of vitamin E found in almonds, safflower oil, olive oil and soybean oil. These are the sources of this product, the most potent natural form of stable vitamin E, d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. This converts to alpha-tocopherol most efffectively in the body. Natural vitamin E source (d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) has a relative biopotency of more than 136% compared to dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (synthetic Vitamin E). That is, the accepted USP biopotency factor for dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (synthetic vitamin E) is 1.00 and 1.36 for d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate â this product, the natural source of vitamin E (United States Pharmacopia, 1980). This official potency factor, however, does not take into account newer findings in vitamin E metabolism research. Recent research data demonstrated a higher biopotency factor, 1.76, for natural source vitamin E than the currently accepted USP definition. (Specific scientific details available at: http://www.moormans.com/swine/TechBulletinHTML/VitaminE.htm) Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other fat-soluble parts of the body, such as LDL cholesterol, the 'bad' cholesterol, from oxidative damage. Only when LDL cholesterol is damaged does it become a threat to the heart. Numerous studies have shown Vitamin E to be an effective heart disease preventative. It also aids immune function and prevents osteoarthritis. Externally, it is healing to skin. It is an effective membrane stabilizer that protects the skin from sun damage, reduces fine facial lines and wrinkles and generally improve skin smoothness. Vitamin E oil is a common additive to massage oils and face creams. 'Oxidative stress' is the term experts use to describe the havoc wreaked by free radicals, unstable forms of oxygen. Free radicals are by-products of the normal, everyday workings of the body, but they can be lethal to cells by destroying the important fats in the body.. Vitamin E is one of the body's best weapons against the oxidative stress your body faces every day. By donating part of itself to a free radical, vitamin E turns an unruly, hostile compound into a harmless substance. That means that the free radical is no longer able to destroy the fatty portion of cell membranes and other fats found in your blood stream. Once vitamin E has given freely of itself in service to your cells, it is regenerated by several different substances, including vitamin C, and off it

Shea Butter Cert. Organic 4 fl oz: C

The Shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii) is found along the West African Savannah region. The tree grows wild and it is not cultivated. It is small (usually 40 - 45 ft high) and has a spreading canopy, looking very much like the American Oak. It takes about fifty years to reach maturity. Shea butter has been used for various health remedies in Africa, especially skin problems, for thousands of years. Cleopatra used it in her cosmetics. It is a healing skin emollient. The tree produces plum-like fruits from which the Shea butter is extracted. The pulp of the fruit can be eaten and the oil, Shea butter, which is extracted from the seed or nut, has always been used in Africa as a skin soother, cosmetic base, cooking oil and lamp fuel. The butter is prepared by roasting the nuts, pounding or grinding them and then extracting the pulverized nuts to separate the butter. This natural butter is edible and can last a whole year without any preservatives. Our cosmetic oils, such as Lanolin or Shea Butter, work well as carriers for essential oils, moisturizers and massage oils. Because of its softness, unsaponifiable content & vitamin F, Shea Butter is excellent for a body massage. With the help of your body heat, it absorbs quickly into the skin. African Shea Butter helps reduce stretch marks, dark spots, blemishes, premature facial lines & eye bags. It is effective on dry, dull, rough & flaky skin. To soften stubborn callouses on the feet, soak your feet in warm water for about 15 mins. Scrub your heels with a bath stone. Change the warm water. Add 1 teaspoon of shea butter to the warm water. Soak your feet for a second time for 15-20 mins. Towel dry & moisturize with Shea Butter. Do this once or twice a week. To revitalize your hair, massage a generous amount of pure Shea Butter on your scalp and in your hair. Wrap with a warm towel for 30 mins. Remove the towel and style as usual. For soft silky hair, shampoo your hair the next day. This process is also useful for dry hair, dry scalp & dandruff.
