This is natural Aloe Vera juice that has had most of the water removed by vacuum extraction, so that it is ten times more concentrated in active ingredients. As such, you only need to use 10% of Aloe Vera 10X Concentrate in a formula to have a full strength concentration of active Aloe Vera. Easily added to creams, sprays and the like, Aloe Vera 10x Concentrate has numerous benefits for the skin,...

Amiox is our unique Rosemary extract that is a potent natural antioxidant. Antioxidants are helpful because these molecules ‘mop up’ oxygen and free radicals much more readily than the fatty acids in the oil. By adding only two drops (or 0.05%) of Amiox to every 100mL of vegetable oil, the ‘shelf life’ of the oil can be extended for perhaps another 30% to 40% longer. Amiox is far superior...

Essential Therapeutics Essential Oil Emulsifier Disper is the natural emulsifier for essential oils. It consists of special soy lecithin fractions (food grade and non-GMO) added to pure neutral cane spirit (pure ethanol from cane sugar, charcoal filtered). In France, the major use for Disper has been to create essential oil preparations for ingestion. Disper is useful to create liquid...

This cream is formulated as a ‘skin friendly’ alternative to the common Sorbolene and ‘aqueous’creams. These products are based on petrochemicals – mineral oil, paraffin and petroleum jelly – along with strong synthetic emulsifiers and preservatives. They are a poor base for preparations, being neither skin-compatible nor offering any regenerative benefits for the skin.  ...

The result is a shampoo for all hair types, with gentle but effective cleansing power and conditioning agents. It is concentrated, so a little will go a long way. We chose our ingredients because we wanted to offer an excellent shampoo free of problematic lauryl sulfate and PEG...

An excellent “all-over” cleanser for the bath or shower, based on mild, coconut oil-derived cleansing agents of ammonium laureth sulfate and cocoamidopropyl betaine. Contrary to many books and websites that detail the ‘hazards’ of laureth sulfates, ammonium laureth sulfate is actually a very mild cleansing agent (milder than lauryl sulfates), especially when combined with cocoamidopropyl...

“Turkey Red Oil” (sulfated castor oil – the first synthetic detergent) is one older product that has been used for creating essential oil emulsions. Essential Solubiliser is a modern improvement on Turkey Red Oil, colourless, odourless and is a more effective emulsifier. Essential Solubiliser is based on mild emulsifiers derived from pure Almond and Coconut oils. These emulsifiers are...

Also known as Karite Butter, Shea Butter has been traditionally used for centuries by Africans for its cosmetic and healing properties. Shea is rich in a number of regenerative compounds, including essential fatty acids, triterpenoids, stigmasterol, allantoin (as in Comfrey) and antioxidants, including Vitamin E, beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) and B-amyrine. Creams and lotions made with Shea...

Panthenol or pro-vitamin B5 can be used in hair conditioners from 0.5% to 2%. Panthenol readily absorbs into the hair, being deposited onto the cuticle and penetrating into the cortex of the hair. This is even more so for bleached or permed hair. It provides benefits such as long lasting moisturisation, imparts lustre, and it has a conditioning effect resulting in easily manageable hair. It...
