Citric Acid
Fine Granular
|
This Citric Acid is in a fine, granular form
and most commonly used by handcrafted toiletry makers in the creation of
"bath bombs" and "bath fizzies." Also useful to adjust PH in lotions and
creams, and as a chelating agent in soaps. Most bath bombs are about 2 parts
baking soda to 1 part citric acid, coloring and essential oils to taste, and
held together with a tiny bit of spritzed witch hazel. For a bath fizzy,
forget the witch hazel and just put the mixture in a bag, adding a few
tablespoons to bath water.

Usage note: This citric acid does not have any
type of additive or flowing-agent in it. As a result, it clumps easily on
exposure to small amounts of moisture and humid air. This also means that
the material you will receive from us will have clumps in it. You can easily
break-up these clumps by placing them in a good zip-lock bag and crushing
them with your hand. |

Coconut Oil
Fractionated
|
Fractionated coconut is
composed of just the medium-chain fatty acids found in
coconut oil. These parts are quick-absorbing,
non-greasy, fully saturated oils with a long shelf life
- ideal for lotions and creams. This variety of coconut
is of no use in soapmaking as the parts that contribute
to lather and cleansing are missing. Much better in
lotions and creams than grapeseed or almond oils.

Rosemary Oleoresin
(ROE)
Available in both 1% and 10% Carnosic Acid ("CA") Concentrations
*
Lab Tested & Certified

Picture Coming Soon
Here's a great article
on the usage of ROE in soap by a speaker at the HSMG
annual meeting.
Usage for 1% Carnosic
Acid ROE: In soap, use 1 gram of ROE
per kilogram (".001" or ".1 of 1%") of oils used. Add
the ROE to the oils prior to mixing with the lye &
water solution. ROE will initially turn the soap stock a
tan-brown color, but fades to a cream color by trace.
To extend the shelf life
of oils, add 1 gram per kilogram of oil. Mix well and
keep in a closed container. Especially useful with
grapeseed, almond, hempseed, flax seed and "linoleic"
versions of nut and seed oils.
In lotions and creams, use
1 gram per kilogram (".001") of the total recipe,
mixed into the warm oil portion of your formula prior to
emulsification.

Palm Stearic
Acid
Triple Pressed / Vegetable
|
If you
take palm oil, and remove the lighter component oils
that serve to make it soft, you have what is known as
"Palm Stearic Acid" a very hard, white, waxy
oil that comes in flake form. If you have a lotion or cream
formulation that could benefit from additional
viscosity, this product is ideal. In fact, you can often
make a fine, thick, emollient cream from a lotion recipe
by simply substituting a portion (about 4% maybe) of the
"light" oils with stearic acid. The only downside to
stearic acid is that it can result is a greasy cream if
used to excess. This is an eco-friendly product, derived
from palm oil, and does not contain any other chemicals
or additives. Also used in soaps for additional bar
hardness and as a trace accelerant.

candies, gum, laxatives, low-calorie sweets, as well as
a variety of industrial applications. For soapmakers -
it's a necessary ingredient if you are making your own
melt & pour soap base, or your own transparent soaps. You
can make your own 70% Sorbitol solution by using this
material and distilled water.
