Hey Tsh! I have a question about homemade lotion. I tried a recipe using high quality ingreds from Mountain Rose Herbs, a great supplier of organics, etc. close to my home town, and starting using it on my legs. I broke out from it! I am allergic to lanolin, have eczema pretty bad, but I didn’t use anything unusual…was it the emulsifying wax? The recipe only called for water, olive oil, emulsifying wax and essential oils. Any ideas? I really want to make my own! Also found Bronner’s to be drying, maybe I just have particularly sensitive/whacky skin?

a lack of synthetic fluoride will help support, not hinder, the health of your teeth.

Is castile soap good to use on a baby’s skin and hair too?

Another good one. I don’t use any toothpaste hah just water. I was told years ago by a dentist that is all you need. Guess what I’ve got really healthy teeth and gums. A little baking soda helps if you drink coffee or tea with any staining. My grandmother always used baking soda or salt for her teeth and she had all of her teeth all the way up until she passed away at 93. 100% Pure does some really great cosmetics and lotions.

I’ve been using lanolin since I was introduced to it when my first daughter was born and I was breastfeeding her. It’s amazing. If my kids get chapped lips or cheeks (in our cold winter weather) one or two applications does the trick. It’s great. And you’re right – it does last for SO long!

Hans, I live in Germany and here it’s called “Naturtrub Apfelessig”, so unfiltered apple vinegar. The unfiltered part is, basically, the difference between apple juice and cider. In forums it’s often referred to as ACV. Go for bio/oeco/organic, because apples are a high-spray crop.
