Customer Testimonials - From Nature With Love
Customer Testimonials “I wanted to pass along to you that I am completely thrilled with the service and product that I have received from your company. I ordered $350.00 worth of supplies on 6/4 and received it on 6/7. I think it is great that you are so fast. Also, the supplies that I received were all better than I anticipated. More often than not, when you order something by mail or internet, it does not quite live up to expectations. I am pleasantly surprised that your company has exceeded my expectations.” — LynnMarie Whitt Newark, DE “I really feel that your company is the best that I have dealt with as far as service, quality and price. It means a great deal to me to be able to buy just a small quantity to experiment with and then to save on larger quantities when I have perfected my recipe. I always find your oils superior in quality and freshness to others I have purchased elsewhere.” — Carole Wade Bee Soft & Natural Bolivar, MO “Because of your kindness and exceptional customer service, you can be sure I will continue to do a great deal of business with you. I have passed this company on to others in my profession and told them how pleased, impressed and happy I am with you all there. Keep up the wonderful job and I am positive you will go far in life. You’re the best!!” — Laura Mohr RMT, CST Cedar Creek, TX “Your prices are better on just about everything I need (not everything, but most), and I love that there is no minimum order. I also love the resource of being able to e-mail you and ask questions about the best way to use your products. I’d like to expand into offering all natural body care stuff, but sometimes I have questions. I’ve been telling anybody who could benefit about this site - it’s amazing. Just keep up the good work.” — Jessica McGuinty Berkeley, CA “I am a beginning soap maker, and I am also interested in lotion-making. I have spent countless hours online looking at different suppliers. Being “new to the scene,” it was overwhelming to do so much searching. But when I found your Web site, I was able to find everything I was looking for easily and was impressed at your prices and the fact that you also have products available in small sizes. I received my order quickly, and it was carefully packed. I was also very impressed with your print catalog - so much great information all in one place. So, I just wanted to say Thank You!” — Chris Taher Grand Rapids, MI “I just received my first order with you today!!! I am really pleased, not only with the quality of your products, but also with the generosity of your company. When I ordered my free samples, I figured I would be getting the little vials that perfumes come in....not 1/4 oz.!!!!! THANK YOU.” — Amanda Carlson Boston, MA We greatly appreciate all the compliments and positive feedback that we receive from our valued customers.

Connecticut and New York Residents We must charge sales tax to customers in Connecticut and New York who have not submitted the appropriate resale certificate to us within the current year. If your order is being delivered in the state of Connecticut or New York and you have a valid business tax ID number, please fax a copy of your resale certificate within 2 hours after placing your order.

For your convenience, From Nature With Love offers both resale certificates via http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com PayPal Please be aware that payments made though PayPal may occasionally take a few days to clear. We have discovered that their system sometimes goes down. This can prevent us from confirming the receipt of payment. We are not responsible for any delays in processing orders paid for through PayPal. Orders cannot be shipped until your payment clears. Out of Stock Items Occassionally, a product will be available at the time you place your order, but then becomes out of stock by the time your order is received at the warehouse. In these rare instances, your charge card may have already been billed for the item. If an item is out of stock after your invoice is processed, you will receive a credit as soon as the warehouse notifies us of the situation. If the out of stock item is received within a few days and the amount is more than $25, we will ship the merchandise once it arrives. If the amount is less than $25 or if the item is not expected to arrive within a short period of time, we will credit your charge card for the item. If one of the ingredients contained in a product sampler is out of stock, we reserve the right to substitute a similar ingredient of equal or greater value. (800) 520-2060 11 Our Policies (continued) Cancellations Cancelled orders will be subject to a restocking fee of 20% or $5, whichever is higher. The restocking fee on cancelled RUSH/ UPS NextDay/UPS 2 Day/UPS 3 Day orders is 25% or a minimum of $10 plus the Rush fee. Any Preferred Customer Program points used will be lost if an order is cancelled. We will hold future orders if you have a pending order that has not been paid for or cancelled. Payments are applied to outstanding balances in the order that they are incurred. Shipping and Handling Shipping fees are calculated based on the actual weight of the merchandise. Because of the weight of packaging materials, the minimum shipping weight is 2 pounds. A $2-5 handling fee is charged on most orders (the fee might be higher on exceptionally large orders). A $2 handling fee is charged if a change is made to an order that is scheduled to go out that day. Most orders are shipped via UPS Standard Ground within 48-72 hours. Any peak season delays will be posted online. UPS Next Day Air, Next Day Air Saver, Saturday Delivery, 2nd Day Air and 3 Day Select delivery options are available during checkout. Saturday Delivery is only available with UPS Next Day Air orders shipping on Friday. The fee for this service is $13 per box above the UPS Next Day Air shipping fee. We do not ship via USPS or any other carrier. An In-House Rush service is available for an additional $5.00 fee. During peak seasons, a Priority Rush service is also available for an additional $10.00. If you need your order shipped the same day during peak seasons, we recommend that you select our Priority Rush service. UPS Canada Standard is the standard method used for most Canadian deliveries (some locations within Canada require us to use UPS Worldwide Express). All international orders are shipped via UPS Worldwide. International customers are responsible for any and all customs duties, taxes and brokerage fees that the package may incur. Orders going to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are shipped via UPS 2 Day Air. The customer is responsible for any additional fees charged by UPS for address corrections. UPS charges a fee when packages are missing suite numbers, contain typos including zip code errors, or contain any other incorrect information that is supplied by the customer within the “Ship To” area of our order form. UPS also charges for address changes such as dropping off your package at any address other than the one provided in the “Ship To” area of the order form. The UPS address correction fee is $5 per box. We reserve the right to charge for these fees as soon as we are notified of them. We are not able to ship via C.O.D. We cannot ship to post office boxes, to APO/FPO addresses, or via postal services within the U.S. or other countries. You may have your order shipped to a friend or relative who can then forward your order to you. We apologize for the inconvenience. All orders require your signature upon delivery. Customers are responsible for shipping and handling charges if a package is returned because no one was available to accept it. If you make a special request to have UPS leave your package without a signature, we will place the request on the box however we cannot guarantee that UPS will comply. Only they can decide if they feel it is safe to leave a package at your location as they will ultimately be responsible if the package gets stolen or misplaced. If this may be a problem, please use an address where someone will be home to receive the package for you. When ordering online, the shipping amount shown during checkout is only an estimated charge generated by the UPS online system. The system is unable to determine and account for multiple boxes and certain surcharges. Therefore, your shipping charges may be higher than the online estimation due to multiple boxing, extra UPS handling charges and UPS Rural Route Surcharges. In many cases, it is not possible to accurately confirm shipping charges without having packaged and shipped your order. We reserve the right to charge the full shipping amount to your credit card once the order has been shipped. This will show up as a second charge on your credit card. International customers are responsible for any and all customs duties, taxes and brokerage fees that the package may incur. Pick Ups from the Warehouse We regret any inconvenience, but pick ups from the warehouse are no longer available. 12 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Our Policies (continued) Returns There are absolutely no unauthorized returns because we cannot guarantee the purity of our merchandise, and we cannot resell it once it has left our warehouse. We are not able to issue credit on unauthorized returns, and merchandise returned without authorization will be discarded. We cannot accept returns on books. We are not able to make exceptions to this policy. In the event that we make an error, we will gladly authorize the return of incorrect or defective merchandise and pay for the return shipping costs. Most of our products such as butters, oils, essential oils, herbs and hydrosols come from natural sources. They are subject to a normal range of variations in color, texture and odor. These variations can be due to seasonal changes such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight and other variables. These differences from batch to batch are normal and are not regarded as defects in the product quality. We cannot accept returns due to these variations because we cannot resell the product once it has left our facility. If you know that product variations may affect your production/formulation, please purchase a small quantity first and contact us to confirm that your larger order will be from the same batch. Our fragrance oils reflect only a fraction of the infinite number of possible formulations that can be created. Fragrance oils can vary between suppliers. Our version of a fragrance may differ significantly from another supplier’s version or from what you were expecting. Since we do not accept returns on fragrance oils or other ingredients, we offer our products in very small sizes that are useful for testing purposes. We urge you to take advantage of our small quantity sizes and no minimum order restrictions to test our ingredients. Damage Claims Please inspect packages upon arrival. You must report any damages, missing items or missing boxes to both UPS and From Nature With Love within 3 days of receiving your order. If you notice any damage to the shipping box upon delivery, report it to the UPS driver and then report it directly to UPS. UPS will send someone to inspect the package. If you notice any damaged items upon unpacking the order, leave the box and its contents as is, save all of the packaging material, contact UPS to arrange an inspection of your package, and contact us so that we may process your claim. We cannot replace damaged merchandise unless the package has been inspected by UPS. Your replacement will be shipped once we have been issued a claim number from UPS. We also cannot replace missing items unless they are reported within 3 days of the receipt of your order.

(800) 520-2060 13 Recipes The following pages contain over 50 recipes that can be used as an excellent source of inspiration for creating your own beautiful handcrafted products. Each recipe utilizes ingredients that we carry as well as ingredients that are readily available from other common sources. For additional free recipes submitted by our valued customers, we invite you to visit From Nature With Love’s online Recipe Database: http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/recipe Thank you for understanding that the recipes on the following pages are for informational purposes only. They are intended to be a guide and provide a source of inspiration for crafting your own formulations and recipes. We are not able to guarantee the results that you will receive because various techniques and differences in measuring procedures will affect the results. Basic Air Freshener Recipe Basic Bath Salt Recipe • 30-40 drops essential oil or fragrance oil • equal amount of polysorbate 20 (about 30-40 drops) • 2 oz. distilled water and 2 oz. of 100 proof vodka (4 oz. distilled water may be used instead) • • • • • Fill a 4 oz. spray bottle with your choice of either 2 oz. of distilled water and 2 oz. of vodka or 4 oz. of distilled water. The vodka is used because it helps to “extend” the aroma of the essential or fragrance oils and helps to preserve your air freshener. If necessary, use slightly less than 4 oz. total of water and vodka so that there is headroom in the bottle for you to shake your blend well. Combine your selection of essential or fragrance oils with an equal amount of polysorbate 20. Essential and fragrance oils vary in strength, so you may need to experiment with the number of drops to use. Add the solubilized fragrance to the water/alcohol mixture. Mist lightly in the room. Be careful not to allow the mist to fall onto pets, furniture or uncovered food. Use any combination of sea salt and/or Dead Sea salt in your choice of grain sizes and place in a bowl. Mixing different grain sizes together lends visual interest. If coloring your bath salts, add either a very small pinch of mica powder or FD&C liquid dye drop by drop (3-6 drops should be sufficient) until you achieve a consistent but soft color. Be careful not to use too much colorant as it can transfer to your skin at bath time. In a separate bowl, add your essential oil or fragrance oil to 1 oz. of dendritic salt and mix well. Dendritic salt is optional but helps to discourage clumping and helps hold the fragrance. Add the dendritic salt to the bowl that contains your other salts, and mix. To add moisturizing properties, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, and mix well. Experiment by adding herbs and milk powders. Package your bath salts into a jar, tin tie bag or cello bag (see our Packaging section). Basic Balm Recipe Basic Body Mist Recipe • • • • • • • • • • 1 part beeswax or hydrogenated jojoba MP56 1 part hard vegetable butter (such as cocoa, shea, illipe or mango) 1 part sunflower oil or oil blend T-50 vitamin E or rosemary oil extract (optional) essential or fragrance oil (optional) mica to color (optional) Melt the butter and oils in a double boiler. Stir in the mica powder and then remove from the heat. After cooling slightly, add your essential or fragrance oil and stir well. Pour the mixture into jars or into our deodorant tubes to make lotion bars. Experiment using other butters, vegetable oils or herbal infused oils. To adjust the hardness or softness of this balm for your particular use, add more oil to soften the balm. Add more beeswax or jojoba MP56 to harden it. Adding too much beeswax will make it waxy. To make an herbal balm, infuse your oil with herbs first. Add .5% T-50 vitamin E oil or rosemary oil extract to the vegetable oils to prevent rancidity. 14 2 lbs. of sea salt and/or Dead Sea salt (approximately 2 cups) 1 teaspoon fractionated coconut oil or other vegetable oil (optional) mica or FD&C dye as colorant (optional) 10-14 drops essential oil or fragrance oil (optional) 1 oz. dendritic salt (optional, but recommended if fragrancing your bath salts) 3 oz. hydrosol 1 oz. 100 proof vodka 10-20 drops essential oil equal amount of polysorbate 20 (about 10-20 drops) Combine the Polysorbate 20 and essential oil in a 4 oz. bottle. Add the hydrosol and vodka. The vodka is used because it helps to “extend” the aroma of the essential oils. If necessary, use slightly less than 4 oz. total of hydrosol and vodka so that there is headroom in the bottle for you to shake your blend well. Experiment with different hydrosols and essential oils to create body mists with different aromas and therapeutic benefits. www.fromnaturewithlove.com Recipes (continued) Basic Clay Facial Mask Basic Milk Bath • • • • • 1 cup goat’s milk powder or buttermilk powder (or a combination of both) • 1/4 - 1/2 cup powdered herbs (optional) • 1/2 cup colloidal oatmeal, fine (optional) • 10 drops essential oil (optional) or use fragrance oil 2-3 oz. cosmetic clay 1-2 oz. powdered herbs water or hydrosol 1-2 drops essential oil added at the time of application (optional) Choose a cosmetic clay and herbs that are suitable for your skin type. Citrus peel powders add astringency, rose petal powder adds fragrance, and neem powder is anti-bacterial. Other ingredients that can be added are milk powders, honey powder, oatmeal and sea vegetables. Mix the powdered ingredients to make 4 oz. of dry clay facial and store in a 4 oz. jar. Clay facial masks should not be stored pre-mixed with the wetting agent. To use, add approximately 1/2 oz. of the dry clay facial herb blend to a small bowl and mix enough warm water or hydrosol to make a paste. Add a drop or 2 of essential oil if desired. Apply to the skin in a gentle circular motion, and leave it to dry for about 15-20 minutes. Wash off with warm water. If the skin feels tight, a light oil such as camelina can be applied afterwards. Experiment with other wetting agents. Strawberry puree acts like an alpha-hydroxy, cucumber puree cools the skin, yogurt cools and softens the skin, and milk removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. To prevent the clogging of your drain, be sure to only include powdered ingredients. If desired, add 10 drops of essential oil and mix well. Package in salt jars, apothecary jars, acetate rounds, salt tubes, tin tie bags or cello bags. Use as desired in a hot tubful of water. Experiment with other additives such as honey powder, clays or Dead Sea salt powder. Basic Lip Balm Basic Salt Scrub • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 1/2 oz. beeswax pellets 1 oz. shea butter 1/2 oz. sunflower oil 1 1/2 oz. jojoba 1/2 oz. vitamin E oil 1/2 oz. T-50 vitamin E oil 1/4 oz. - 1/2 oz. flavor oil mica powder (use a mica powder approved for use on the lips) thermometer Gently heat the beeswax, shea butter and vegetable oils in a double boiler until the shea butter and beeswax have melted, stirring frequently. The mixture should reach 175°F and should be allowed to remain at that temperature for 25 minutes. Add the T-50 vitamin E oil. Mix well. Add 1/4 oz.-1/2 oz. flavor oil. For color, add a very small pinch of mica powder. Stir until well blended. Pour the balm into small lip balm jars or tubes. Try to avoid pouring out any of the mica powder that has settled at the bottom of the pot. As the balm cools, the mixture will “sink” towards the center of each tube. Refill the tubes with more of the mixture. If it seems too dry or waxy for you, melt it down again and add a few more drops of vegetable oil. If it’s too soft, melt it down, and add a little bit more wax or butter. Experiment by trying different vegetable oil combinations. 1 cup sea salt, fine or Dead Sea salt, fine 1/4-1/2 cup fractionated coconut oil or other vegetable oil 1/2 cup liquid castille soap 1/4 teaspoon T-50 vitamin E oil 10-15 drops essential oil or fragrance oil (optional) liquid dye (optional) If you are coloring the scrub, mix your dye and salt first stirring vigorously to distribute the dye. Then mix in the vegetable oil and the liquid castille soap and mix well. Add the T-50 vitamin E oil and essential oil or fragrance oil and mix well.

Melt the soap cubes in a double boiler. Stir frequently until the cubes have melted. Be careful not to overheat your soap base. Overheating can cause the soap to not lather well. Add the dye drop by drop until you get the desired color. You may experiment by adding different color additives, clays, powdered herbs or other additives (except for solid ingredients and fragrance), and stir until well incorporated. Immediately remove your melted soap from the stove and let it cool. Stir the soap frequently as it cools. Add your desired fragrance, and stir well. After the soap has cooled slightly, it can be poured into plastic molds. Your soap should be ready to un-mold within 2 hours. If it’s difficult to pop the soap out, place the tray in the freezer for 20 minutes. The soap should pop out easily. (800) 520-2060 1 cup demerara, turbinado or brown sugar 1/4 cup vegetable glycerin 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil or other vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon T-50 vitamin E oil 10-15 drops essential oil or fragrance oil (optional) Add the sugar to a bowl and then mix in the glycerin, vegetable oil and T-50 vitamin E oil.

Add the dye drop by drop and stir vigorously to distribute the dye. Add the remaining ingredients to a small bowl, and mix well. Add the liquid ingredients slowly, drop by drop to the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing constantly. Adding the liquid ingredients too quickly will cause the mixture to fizz now instead of at bath time. Press the mixture into molds as tightly as you can or use your fingers to mold them tightly into natural shapes. Let the bombs dry for at least 24 hours. The tins need to be placed in the freezer for 20 minutes to make it easier to pop the bombs out. Package in pretty jars or in tin tie bags to keep them dry. Add 1-3 bombs (depending on the size that you made) to your bath and watch them fizz. 1/3 cup cornstarch 1/3 cup arrowroot powder 1/3 cup oat starch pinch mica powder (optional) essential oil or fragrance oil (optional) powder sifter or jar In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. If color is desired, add a pinch of mica powder and mix well. Be careful not to add too much mica powder or it will color the skin. Add the essential or fragrance oil and mix well. Essential and fragrance oils vary in strength, so you may need to experiment with the number of drops to use. Spoon the powder into an apothecary jar, one of our larger plastic jars, or in a seamless silver tin. If you would like to pour the powder into one of our powder sifters, use the following instructions: Pour the powder into a Ziploc bag and seal the bag. Cut a small corner of the bag to create a “spout,” and use the spout to pour the powder into the powder sifter tube. Then, insert the bottom plastic plug into the sifter tube. Be careful not to inhale the powders. Bath Tea Calming Bath Tea • your choice of herbs (soothing herbs include lavender and chamomile) • muslin bags or heat-sealable tea bags • • • • • • • • • Combine your desired selection of herbs in a bowl. Once mixed, add them to muslin bags or heat-sealable tea bags (available within the Packaging section). Heat-sealable tea bags can be closed using a hot iron.

The results are messy and the drain could clog. 16 Body Glitter Carpet Deodorizer • body glitter gel base • cosmetic glitter • essential oil or fragrance oil (optional) • 2 lbs. baking soda • 1 teaspoon essential oil or fragrance oil • 3-4 powder sifters (see our Packaging section) This recipe is easy to make regardless of how much body glitter that you would like to make at a time. Put the body glitter gel base in a bowl. Sprinkle some cosmetic glitter onto the gel and mix well. Repeat until you are pleased with the amount of glitter in the gel. Essential oil or fragrance oil can be mixed in well to add fragrance. We recommend the use of lip balm jars or other small clear jars for packaging.

Essential and fragrance oils vary in strength, so you may need to experiment with the amount to use. Mix the oil thoroughly into the powder. Pour the deodorizer into the powder sifter tubes. Insert the bottom plastic plugs into the sifter tubes. The number of powder sifters that this recipe makes depends somewhat on how full you like to fill the power sifters. To use, sprinkle the deodorizer onto carpet, wait 15 minutes and then vacuum. Always be careful when using any type of carpet deodorizer around pets. It is best to keep pets in another room until the deodorized carpet has been thoroughly vacuumed. www.fromnaturewithlove.com Recipes (continued) Creamy Hand and Foot Rub Detoxifying Facial • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1/2 cup colloidal oatmeal, fine 2 tablespoons goat’s milk powder 1 tablespoon rose petal powder heavy cream Mix the dry ingredients, and add enough heavy cream to form a wet paste.

If you leave out the castille soap, it can be used to clean meat and fish. Be careful when handling undiluted grapefruit seed extract. Follow all safety precautions. Melt your shea butter in a double boiler. Shea butter can crystallize and become “gritty” if not properly heated. To avoid crystallization, use a candy thermometer and allow the temperature to reach 175°F. Keep the temperature of the shea butter consistently above 175°F for at least 20 minutes. Afterwards, remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. As the butter cools, add the essential or fragrance oil and whip it using a powerful mixer at high speed until it is completely cooled and becomes the consistency of whipped cream. .5% T-50 vitamin E oil can be added to preserve your whipped butter. This process can take a long time, so it is best to use a stand mixer. Alternately, good results have also been accomplished by whipping softened butter without heating. Results will vary depending on the type and power of your mixer.

Historical and religious documents of the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Chinese, Indians, and Arabians report its internal and external use and effectiveness. Aloe vera gel can be effective in healing various skin disorders including cancers, ulcers, lesions and general wounds. Aloe is also a well-known burn remedy and is used in trauma centers throughout the states. Research has shown that aloe vera gel penetrates human skin almost four times faster than water. It is a wonderful addition to moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners and shaving gels because it is able to penetrate quickly. When combined with other healing agents, aloe vera helps these substances penetrate the skin easily carrying them to the deeper layers of the skin. Aloe is believed to have an anti-aging effect on skin. Aloe vera also acts as an anti-inflammatory pain-reliever. The anti-inflammatory properties make it useful in the treatment of acne and other dermatological problems. Aloe vera can reduce the irritating effects that radiation has on the skin and has also been found to help accelerate tissue repair and normal cell growth. Aloe Vera Oil is produced by macerating aloe vera leaves in soybean oil. Use aloe vera oil in lip balms, creams, lotions, body butters, hair oil treatments and other skin care formulations. By using the oil, you can add the healing properties of aloe vera to your product without needing to worry about the bacterial and mold growth that can occur when using the pure gel.

KOH: .252 (converted to oz.) Evening Primrose, 10% GLA (Organic and Conventional) Evening primrose is high in gamma-linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid) making it an exceptional skin nourishing oil. The human body does not produce essential fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acids. It, therefore, is important to get these nutrients through diet and topical application. Essential fatty acids inhibit bacterial growth and allow our systems to defend against infection and inflammation. Evening Primrose oil is highly recommended for dry skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. Use it in facial blends, creams, lotions, balms and more. INCI: Oenothera biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil Shelf Life: 6 - 9 Months (the addition of an antioxidant is recommended for longer shelf life) Extraction Method: Cold Expeller Pressed SAP Value: 175 - 196 NaOH: .130 (converted to oz.) KOH: .184 (converted to oz.) Flax Seed (Organic and Conventional) Flax seed oil is an important oil for those suffering from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne and aging skin. Flax seeds are a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an Omega-3 series of essential fatty acids. ALA is needed because it is the precursor to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and the series 3 Prostaglandins, which are necessary for the regulation of cellular activity. Series 3 Prostaglandins protect the body against the effects of high blood pressure, inflammation and water retention by inhibiting the production of series 2 prostaglandins, which promote inflammation and water retention. People who suffer from eczema and psoriasis should add flax seed oil to their diet. The anti-inflammatory benefits of flax seed oil can also be seen when it is used externally. Topical use of flax seed oil allows the body to absorb some of the essential fatty acids necessary for healthy cellular activity. It helps soften and heal skin abrasions, reduce the swelling and redness of lesions due to skin disease and improves the overall health of the skin. Use flax seed oil in creams, lotions, balms and more. Try combining flax seed oil with (800) 520-2060 27 Vegetable Oils (continued) calendula oil and mango butter for a healing balm for dry skin.

KOH: .190 (converted to oz.) Fractionated Coconut (Conventional) Fractionated coconut oil contains the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) of coconut oil. It is produced through the hydrolysis of coconut oil and is then fractionated by steam distillation to isolate the MCTs. Fractionated coconut oil is a stable, light, nongreasy, non-staining, liquid oil. It is great for use in massage, toiletries and soap. Fractionated coconut oil is a very good choice for use with essential oils, as it helps carry therapeutic oils under the skin. It can be used in creams, lotions, bath oils, bath salts and soap. Fractionated coconut oil is especially useful in face creams where a light oil is desired. It is a good substitute for sweet almond oil if you are worried about rancidity or a short shelf life.

The typical major fatty acid composition is: C20:1 is 63%, C22:1 is 16%, and C22:2 is 17%. Meadowfoam oil was developed to replace sperm whale oil in the 1970’s, in an effort to protect the species. Meadowfoam oil remains liquid at room temperature despite its high molecular weight. It is one of the most stable lipids known, and has been shown to lend stability to other oils. It, therefore, is useful in applications where you are using less stable oils such as sweet almond, kukui nut, evening primrose, borage, and hemp. Use Meadowfoam oil in lotion bars and lip balms to extend shelf life. (800) 520-2060 29 Vegetable Oils (continued) It makes a very moisturizing bar of soap when used as a superfatting agent.

Use it at 1-5% in your formulations for skin and hair care. INCI: Avena sativa (Oat) Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Olive (Extra Virgin Organic* and Grade A Conventional) Olive oil is high in oleic acid and is therefore a good skin cell regenerator. It can be used in soaps, creams, balms, body butters, herbal infusions and hair preparations. Olive oil attracts external moisture to the skin and still allows normal functions of the skin to take place (sweating, shedding of dead skin and releasing sebum). It is useful as a massage oil for rheumatic conditions and as a treatment for inflamed skin. Warm it over a double boiler with dried herbs to produce herbal infusions that can be used in your formulations. In soap making, some soapers prefer Grade A olive oil to pomace because the high percentage of unsaponifiables in pomace can cause it to saponify too quickly or overreact with other ingredients such as fragrance and 30 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Vegetable Oils (continued) essential oils. The Grade A olive oil will also give you a whiter bar than pomace. Try using a stick blender for soaps with a high percentage of olive oil as it saponifies slowly. * Certified by Soil Association INCI: Olea europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Extraction Method: Cold Expeller Pressed SAP Value: 184 - 196 NaOH: .133 (converted to oz.)

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we cannot ship this product during the winter months. INCI: Sulfated Ricinus communis (Castor) Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Virgin Coconut (Organic and Conventional) Virgin coconut oil, as it has come to be known, differs from regular refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil in that it is extracted from freshly cut coconuts, not dried copra. It has not been subjected to high temperatures, solvents or refinement procedures. The exact method of extraction may differ among the various virgin coconut oils available on the market, however, only an oil that starts with freshly harvested, healthy coconuts, and ends with the least amount of moisture possible, will result in a high quality Virgin Coconut Oil. Unfortunately, there is no set standard yet for producing Virgin Coconut Oil and therefore, purchasing it can be tricky for the consumer. Beware of oils that look cloudy when completely liquid and oils that smell of burnt rubber or rancid coconuts. Our Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is obtained from freshly harvested coconut meat that has been grated and then expeller pressed to produce the coconut milk. This milk is then centrifuged to separate the milk into coconut solids, water and oil. This separation is so thorough that the oil has no moisture left in it to promote rancidity, and the oil does not need to undergo any further heating to remove moisture. This method yields the finest, creamiest, most flavorful coconut oil possible. This unique cold process extraction takes place within hours of opening the coconuts and conserves all of the functional components of coconuts such as squalene, tocopherols and sterol. Our Traditional Virgin Coconut Oil is obtained using a more traditional style of extraction but still yields a beautiful, high quality oil without compromising any of the functional components of coconut oil. Newly harvested coconuts are cut and the fresh coconut meat is grated. The meat is then immediately expeller pressed to obtain the coconut milk, which then undergoes a process* that separates the mixture into oil, cream and water. The water is allowed to drain and then the oil/cream mixture is passed through a cloth filter and then a paper filter until a crystal clear oil is achieved. No heat is used during this extraction process. *Our oil is not produced through the fermentation process. 34 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Vegetable Oils (continued) Both of our Virgin coconut oils are light, penetrating oils with excellent shelf life and stability. They smell of fresh coconut milk and nothing less. Virgin Coconut Oil performs similarly to Kukui, Jojoba, Illipe and Shea butter.

Vitamin E, Natural (Conventional) Available in three potencies: 250IU/g, 1000IU/g and 1400IU/g. Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble vitamin composed of 8 naturally occurring compounds. The fractions are called alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, eta, gamma and zeta tocopherol, and four other substances called tocotrienols. While each of these compounds exhibits different biological activities, d-alpha tocopherol has the highest biological activity and is the most widely available form of vitamin E in food. Since the alpha tocopherol activity is most responsible for the effectiveness of the product, the potency of vitamin E oil is measured by its alpha tocopherol content. It is important to know the IU of the vitamin E oil you are using. A 200 IU/g vitamin E contains 200 units of alpha tocopherol per gram of oil and the rest of it is unspecified amounts of the beta, delta, epsilon and other components. 1 international unit (IU) of vitamin E is equal to 1 mg of the synthetic form racemic alpha tocopherol acetate. While the alpha tocopherol can be isolated from the other components, studies have shown that it is more stable and has a longer shelf life when it is in its original family structure with its non-alpha tocopherols unless it is transformed into tocopheryl. Furthermore, the full activity of the other fractions is still unknown, and some manufacturers of vitamin E prefer to preserve the natural form. The most important and well known biological function of vitamin E is related to its antioxidant properties. Internally, vitamin E is the most effective antioxidant in the biological membrane. It protects cellular structures against damage from free radicals and the byproducts of fat peroxidation. It acts as a free radical scavenger to prevent the byproducts of chemical-cell interaction to cause cell damage. vitamin E may help to decrease the toxicity of certain chemotherapy drugs. When used topically, vitamin E may decrease some of the harmful effects of solar radiation on the skin. It is commonly used in lotions or creams for burn treatment. It is also helpful to treat burns secondary to radiation therapy. Combine with emu oil for a burn treatment. Vitamin E oil is often prescribed for topical use in pregnant women to prevent stretch marks on the abdomen. More recently it has been used to prevent or treat mucositis resulting from chemotherapy. It can help heal acne, promote wound healing and prevent scarring from eczema or psoriasis. Topical vitamin E moisturizes the skin from within, reduces UV induced damage, helps to protect against ozone damage and decreases erythema (redness of the skin) after sun exposure. This makes it appropriate for use in sun care products including lip balms.

While the alpha tocopherol in the 250, 1000, and 1400IU/g oils is wonderful as an invitro antioxidant, studies show that the gamma tocopherol in the vitamin E T-50 oil is a better antioxidant for oils/lipids in cosmetic formulations. vitamin E T-50, has a higher content of gamma tocopherols and can be used at a rate of .05% or 400 ppm to adequately protect your oils.

gaining recognition as an invaluable cosmetic ingredient. Current studies attribute very promising benefits to Emu oil. It has been reported to have an extraordinary ability to penetrate the skin. Emu oil seems to act as a carrier for carrying other ingredients. It is non-comedogenic, and is completely non irritating. It has been suggested that emu oil can reduce inflammation and redness of the skin, reduce the formation of wrinkles and restore moisture to irritated, dry skin. In addition, it is said to reduce inflammation and pain of sore muscles and joints. It may therefore, be helpful with conditions such as arthritis. It has been recommended for use in healing burns and preventing the formation of scar tissue while encouraging rapid repair of damaged tissue. It should be a “must have” item for the medicine cabinet. A blend of emu oil, water and lavender essential oil in a spray bottle seems to rapidly heal wounds, burns, stitches, and even hot spots in dogs. Used in soap at 10-20%, emu oil will make a hard bar with stable, moisturizing lather. Use emu oil in essential oil blends to help deliver the oils into the skin. Use Emu oil in massage or sports blends to help relieve soreness and inflammation. Emu oil becomes creamy looking at 65° F and will solidify if kept colder. Refrigeration is recommended if you plan to store emu oil for longer than 3 months. The uses and benefits of this oil are endless and certainly deserve more space than can be afforded here. In short, studies have suggested that emu oil is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, encourages healing, stimulates skin, hair and nail growth, has a natural SPF, is a natural emollient and moisturizer, penetrates multiple layers of skin, is non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic, prevents and diminishes scarring/stretch marks and more. It may also prove to be a great oil to use for skin disorders and allergies. Our fully refined emu oil is sourced only from US domestic farm raised emu, and supports sustainable alternative agriculture for the preservation of family farming. Our Emu oil is refined using a natural process. No solvents or chemicals have been used, and the integrity of the oil and its bioactive properties have not been compromised in any way. 1% of natural tocopherol (vitamin E) has been added to our emu oil in order to provide a stable oil for use in cosmetics. During the refinement process, the oil is sterilized, bleached and deodorized using natural silica clays and vacuum steam pressure. We, therefore, are able to supply the highest quality emu oil with stable shelf life without having lost any of its properties through harsh chemical/heat refinement procedures. Our emu oil is processed and finished by one of the most highly regarded finishing facilities in the industry with years of experience in the refinement and finishing of superior quality food grade oils. Their natural refining process produces superior, consistent quality emu oil. The refining facility is a certified business member of the American Emu Association (AEA), and complies with AEA trade rules, and employs the most current industry knowledge for handling and “finishing” of emu oil.

They are obtained by blending different natural fractions of a vegetable oil. These various fractions can come directly from the oil, the hydrogenated oil or the unsaponifiable fraction. They are generally obtained during the refining or winterization process. The percentage of the unsaponifiable fraction in an oil is usually very low, requiring huge quantities of processed oils to yield a significant quantity of the butter. Vegetable butters are being used more and more in cosmetics and skin care products. They are rich in nutrients that are beneficial to the skin. Vegetable butters contribute to the viscosity and stability of emulsions, and they give rigidity to stick products such as lotion bars and balms. Butters can melt during shipment in the summer months or in warmer regions but should become solid again within a few hours (or sometimes days, depending on the butter) if stored at room temperature. Aloe Aloe butter is an extraction of Aloe Vera using a fatty coconut fraction to produce a soft-solid which melts on contact with the skin.

(800) 520-2060 41 Vegetable Butters (continued) Shea, Extra Refined Our shea butter is fully refined and is almost colorless and odorless. African healers have used shea butter for thousands of years as the ideal treatment for dry or aging skin. Its high content of non-saponifiable fatty acids gives it the ability to moisturize and retain the elasticity of the skin. Shea butter also helps to protect the skin against the damaging effects of the sun while repairing cellular degeneration. Our shea butter is extracted and refined without the use of harsh chemicals. It is deodorized and discolored but is not bleached. Shea butter can be used “as is” or in any proportion in formulations for moisturizing the skin or hair. Tip: Improper heating of shea butter can cause the butter to crystallize as it cools. This crystallization can cause lip balms, body butters and other formulations to turn gritty. To avoid this, shea butter must be melted and heated to about 175°F and kept at that temperature for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the butter to melt completely so that crystals will not form after it has cooled. INCI: Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Fruit Butter Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years SAP Value: 170 - 190 NaOH: .126 (converted to oz.) KOH: .178 (converted to oz.)

Tips: • Heating Shea Butter: Improper heating of shea butter can cause the butter to crystallize as it cools. This can cause lip balms, body butters and other formulations to turn gritty. To eliminate the crystallization, shea butter must be melted and heated to at least 175°F and kept at that temperature for at least 20 minutes before allowing to cool. • Use a double boiler or double boiler insert to gently melt butters for use in balms, creams, lotions and other formulations. Heating butters or oils in cookware that sits directly on top of the heat source can overheat and destroy the beneficial properties of your butters. Microwaving can also overheat your butters.

We buy directly from the distilleries to ensure the quality and purity of the oils. We avoid oils produced in bulk. We offer both conventional and organic essential oils. Organic essential oils are obtained from plants that have not been chemically treated, and the soil is usually certified to be chemical free for a certain number of years. Many oils are organic by nature (conifer oils for instance), but they may not be backed by certification. This does not mean the oil is poor quality. It simply means that the producer did not have the oil certified as organic. The certification process is quite costly. Organic oils are generally more expensive than conventional oils. With some oils, using conventional instead of organic oils may not pose any concern. With other oils, however, you may want to make sure the oil is of organic quality, especially when the plant/fruit is known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides. Citrus fruit, for instance, is usually sprayed with pesticides that are readily absorbed into the rind. The rind is the part of citrus fruits that are pressed to obtain the oil. The resulting essential oil can have high concentrations of pesticides if non-organic fruit rinds are used. If you are using citrus essential oils in skin care products, you may want to select organic oils. There are many ways in which you can use essential oils. To use them effectively, however, you should understand the properties of the oils, recommended dilutions and the various methods of application. We encourage you to do as much research as possible before using essential oils, as they are very potent medicinal oils. Always pay proper attention to usage rates in your formulations. You should also be familiar with the different carrier oils, their shelf lives and their effects on different skin types. Always keep good notes on blends that you make so that you can replicate something if needed. Your notes should include ingredients and proportions, the date you prepared the blend, comments, and improvements to be made next time. Label finished products and include the date the product was made, the ingredients and the instructions for use. Because essential oils are highly potent, concentrated substances, you must know how to work with them safely. The potential hazards of an essential oil depend on the compounds in the oil, the dosage and frequency used, and the method of application. Some oils can cause skin irritations, some can raise or lower blood pressure and some have strong sedative properties. In rare circumstances, some are said to even cause miscarriages. As such, it is important to become familiar with the oils you intend to use. For more information, please read the Essential Oil Safety Information article located within the Information Library section of our Web site: http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/library Below are brief descriptions for the essential oils that we carry. When possible, we briefly include precautions. These precautions, however, are not guaranteed to be complete. Please feel free to request essential oils that we do not currently carry. We may ship certain essential oils in PET containers if you order 16 oz. or more to avoid breakage. Please transfer these oils immediately into glass bottles. Amyris (Conventional) Amyris or “West Indian Sandalwood” has a pleasant, woody scent that is often used in place of real sandalwood oil.

Hydrosols The term hydrosol is derived from the Latin words hydro and sol, meaning “water solution.” When plant material, such as the roots, barks, flowers, leaves, stems and seeds, is steam distilled to obtain an essential oil, certain chemical constituents of the plant first build up in the water. Only after they reach their maximum solubility in water, do they start to collect in a separate layer on the surface of the water (the essential oil). Many of the water-soluble plant compounds and some of the oil-soluble compounds wind up in the distillation water. A hydrosol is the pure, distillate water that remains after essential oils are steam distilled from the original plant material. Hydrosols are usually clear and have the appearance and consistency of water. Their aroma is generally, but not always, similar to that of the essential oil, but the aroma is usually much more subtle. Hydrosols contain very small amounts of the essential oil. They also contain water-soluble components of the plant material that may not be present in the essential oil. The aroma, therefore, may differ somewhat from the plant’s essential oil. Some hydrosols do smell surprisingly different from the essential oil. Some hydrosols, such as Yarrow, have an unpleasant odor, making them more difficult to use. Hydrosols are gaining importance in aromatherapy because they offer an opportunity to use a well-diluted potency of a particular plant’s essential oil for therapeutic purposes. The highly concentrated compounds found in essential oils may often be too strong for the human body, and therefore may be rejected or ineffective. Hydrosols on the other hand, are well-diluted water-soluble compounds, which are easily assimilated and absorbed by the body. Hydrosols are generally safer for use in babies and individuals with depressed immune systems. Hydrosols are also known as hydrolates. Hydrosols are also sometimes incorrectly referred to as floral waters. Floral waters are typically aromatic waters made with the use of fragrance oils (see our Floral Water category within the Flavors and Fragrances section of the catalog), but do not contain the natural therapeutic properties that hydrosols contain. Hydrosols cannot be made by solubilizing essential oils in water. Unfortunately, pure hydrosols do not have the strong anti-bacterial properties that essential oils possess and therefore they are subject to rapid degradation. Hydrosols are often collected over long periods of time during which contamination may occur and subsequent handling and storage conditions may further reduce shelf life. Assuming that a hydrosol is collected in the most sterile manner and promptly sealed, stored and transported in a cool environment, it may have a shelf life of 6 months to 2 years unopened. Keeping a hydrosol stored in such pristine conditions, however, is rarely the case. We believe that the dangers of using a hydrosol harboring bacterial colonies far outweigh the negative effects of adding food grade ethyl alcohol to the hydrosols to preserve shelf life. Our European hydrosols are preserved with ethyl alcohol as required by law. Our witch hazel hydrosol is preserved with Germaben and is not suitable for internal use. Use hydrosols in toners, creams, lotions, body sprays, room sprays and in place of water in most formulations. They will impart both fragrance and therapeutic benefits to your products. Hydrosols are also wonderful when used as wetting agents in clay facials. An anti-bacterial preservative will be needed to preserve your products that contain hydrosols. For more in-depth information about hydrosols, we offer the 290 page book Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy written by Suzanne Catty. Suzanne Catty is well known for her knowledge and work with hydrosols. Please see the Books section of our catalog for pricing information. We ship our hydrosols in plastic to avoid breakage, but the hydrosols should be transferred to glass as soon as possible. Like essential oils, hydrosols should be stored in a cool, dry place. The shelf life of hydrosols is up to 2 years when they are stored properly. Hydrosols can be stored in the refrigerator. 64 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Essential Oils and Hydrosols (continued) Bulgarian Rose INCI: Rosa damascena (Rose) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Chamomile INCI: Chamaemelum nobile (Chamomile) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Clary Sage INCI: Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years German Chamomile (Organic) INCI: Matricaria recutita (German Chamomile) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Lavender, Bulgaria INCI: Lavandula officinalis (Lavender) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 2 Years Lemon Balm INCI: Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 2 Years Neroli INCI: Citrus aurantium (Neroli) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 2 Years Yarrow (Organic) INCI: Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 2 Years Witch Hazel Unlike the witch hazel blends that you find in the store, even in your typical all-natural shops, our witch hazel hydrosol is gentle and alcohol-free.

INCI: Hamamelis virginiana (Witch Hazel) Distillate and Germaben Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Zdravetz INCI: Geranium macrorhizum (Zradvetz) Distillate and Ethyl Alcohol Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Tips: • Essential oils should be stored away from heat and light to preserve their freshness and potency. Although opinions vary, it is considered best to keep your oils stored in dark glass colored bottles such as amber or cobalt. Avoid keeping your essential oils in plastic bottles and avoid using bottles that have a built-in dropper with a rubber tip. Essential oils are very concentrated and will “eat” into the plastic or rubber and your oils will be ruined. • A safe dilution for most aromatherapy applications is 2% (2 drops of essential oil per 100 drops of carrier oil). Using more of an oil will not get you better results; in fact, it may cause adverse effects. A 1% dilution should be used on children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with health concerns.

Our cosmetic grade fragrance oils will not cause seizing in cold process soap, and they are not drying to the skin. They work well in soaps, lotions, creams, powders, balms, oils and scrubs. They are generally used at 2-5% in formulations and can be used as perfume oils when diluted in a vegetable oil or jojoba. Fragrance oils do not disperse well in water without the aid of a solubilizer. To make water or alcohol based perfumes, air fresheners, linen sprays and other water or alcohol based formulations, use our fragrance oil base or polysorbate 20. INCI: Fragrance Shelf Life: Stable Important Notes: • Our cosmetic grade fragrance oils are not for use in candles or lip balm. We offer flavor oils suitable for lip balms. Please see our Flavor Oil section for these fine oils. Visit our Web site for our large selection of candle fragrance oils. • Our 16 oz. and 1 gallon bottles of fragrance oil are shipped in plastic HDPE bottles. We recommend that you transfer these oils to glass bottles upon receipt. We offer 16 oz. Boston Round bottles within our Packaging section of the catalog. Tips for Using Fragrance Oils in Cold Process Soap: When trying a new fragrance oil in cold process soap, please use the following guidelines: • Mix the fragrance oil with a carrier oil that you are using as a superfatting agent, or with some oil that you reserved from your recipe. Blending the fragrance oil with a carrier tends to buffer the reaction when it hits the raw soap. • Do not use a stick blender. Stick blenders will accelerate trace. If the fragrance oil that you use also accelerates trace, you will have a compound reaction. Wait until you are familiar with the fragrance oil before you use mechanical mixing. If there appears to be no acceleration, then you may start using short bursts of the stick blender. • Keep your temperatures within an average range, not too high or too low. This will help avoid a reaction. • Do not use Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) with a new fragrance oil. GSE is used in soap to accelerate a slow trace. If you use fragrance oils and GSE together, you may wind up with an accelerated trace. • Using the right procedures, you should be able to use any of our cosmetic fragrance oils in cold process soap without difficulty. Flavor Oils Flavor oils are fragrance oils that are approved for use in lip products. They lend a “scent” to lip balms. Contrary to their name, they do not possess any real “flavor” or “taste.” Although flavor oils contain small amounts of essential oils, they are not considered natural. Flavor oils are generally used at a rate of about 3% in lip balm formulations. Flavor oils can be blended to create interesting combinations. The possibilities are endless! INCI: Fragrance Shelf Life: Stable Fragrance Base Fragrance oils and essential oils do not disperse in water without the use of a solubilizer. Use our Fragrance Oil Base to solubilize your fragrance or essential oils into water. Use 1 part essential oil or fragrance oil to 3 or 4 parts fragrance oil base. Add your solubilized oil to distilled water or another carrier such as teas, witch hazel and floral waters. Be sure to keep the percentage of fragrance oil or essential oil to within safe limits. 72 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Flavors and Fragrances (continued) The identity of the individual components of this mixture is proprietary, and is considered to be a trade secret. From Nature With Love is not able to supply the ingredient list. It is composed of chemicals commonly found in fragrance oils. When using solubilizer in your formulations, it is covered by the inclusion of “Fragrance” in your ingredient list. INCI: Fragrance Shelf Life: 2 Years Floral Waters Floral waters are synthetic, water-soluble fragrances that can be used to make linen sprays, facial mists, body mists and air fresheners. You do not need to solubilize them first! Just mix the floral waters with water and/or alcohol. They can also be used in creams and lotions. When doing so, add them to the water phase.

fraction to produce a soft-solid which melts on contact with the skin. It aids in rapid hydration of dry skin caused by eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn, wind burn, and general chapping. Aloe butter is suitable for a variety of skin care applications including use in lotions, soaps, skin creams and lip balms. Use it to enhance moisturization and to include the properties of aloe in your formulations. Use aloe butter at 3-5% in lotions, creams, soaps, body balms, hair balms, bath bombs and lip balms. It can also be enjoyed “as is.” INCI: Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil and Aloe barbadensis Leaf Extract Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years SAP Value: 240 - 260 NaOH: .176 (converted to oz.) KOH: .247 (converted to oz.) Aloe Moist Our aloe moist is a high viscosity aloe vera gel that can be used alone to moisturize the skin or it can be used in formulations. Glitter and fragrance can be blended in to make glitter gel. Aloe Moist contains 55% natural aloe vera gel. Aloe Moist can be use as a hair gel too. It has greater contact time with the skin because the special formula prevents rapid evaporation. The recommended usage rate is at least 10%. INCI: Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate and Propylene Glycol Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years (darkens with age, fallout may occur) Aloe Vera Gel 1:1 Pure aloe vera gel is known for its ability to heal and moisturize the skin and hair. It is obtained from the inner fillet of fresh aloe vera leaves and then processed to remove the pulp and fiber. The resulting gel is then decolorized, pasteurized, and preserved to give it a stable shelf life. Pure aloe vera gel is actually not gel-like, but is more thin in texture. The gels that are commonly found on the market are “gelled” using a gelling agent. If you are looking for a thick, gel-like aloe, please try our Aloe Moist. Aloe vera is quite fragile and will readily grow bacteria when contaminated. When using aloe vera gel in a formulation, you will need to properly preserve your formulation using an anti-microbial agent such as our grapefruit seed extract, Germaben or a combination of parabens. Although the shelf life of aloe vera gel is one year, it is best not to store aloe vera gel longer than six months. Fresh gel is best. Refrigerate aloe vera gel to prolong the shelf life. Note: Including 10% aloe vera gel in your formulations is generally sufficient to exhibit the effects of aloe vera in your product. Your products, however, must contain at least 15% aloe vera gel to meet the International Aloe Science Council certification requirements. INCI: Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice Shelf Life: 1 Year (darkens with age) Aloe Vera Oil (Conventional) Throughout history, aloe vera has been known for its healing properties. Historical and religious documents of the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Chinese, Indians, and Arabians report its internal and external use and effectiveness. Aloe vera gel can be effective in healing various skin disorders including cancers, ulcers, lesions and general wounds. Aloe is also a well-known burn remedy and is used in trauma centers throughout the states. Research has shown that aloe vera gel penetrates human skin almost four times faster than water. Because of its ability to penetrate so quickly, it is a wonderful addition to moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners and shaving gels. When combined with other healing agents, aloe vera helps these substances penetrate the skin easily carrying them to the deeper layers of the skin. Aloe is believed to have an anti-aging effect on skin. Aloe vera also acts as an anti-inflammatory pain-reliever. The anti-inflammatory properties make it useful in the treatment of acne and other dermatological problems. Aloe vera can reduce the irritating effects that radiation has on the skin and has also been found to help accelerate tissue repair and normal cell growth. Aloe vera oil is produced by macerating aloe vera leaves in soybean oil. Use aloe vera oil in lip balms, creams, lotions, body butters, hair oil treatments and other skin care formulations. By using the oil, you can add the healing properties of aloe vera to your product without needing to worry about the bacterial and mold growth that can occur when using the pure gel. Use aloe vera oil at 5-10% in most formulations.

KOH: .191 (converted to oz.) 76 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Additives and Other Ingredients (continued) Shealoe Butter Shealoe butter is made with equivalent quantities of shea butter and aloe vera gel resulting in a healing and moisturizing emollient. Use shealoe butter “as is” to soothe dry, irritated skin, or add it to your formulations as a skin or hair nutrient. When used in formulations, shealoe butter lends a high gloss sheen and a non-greasy slip to your product. Shealoe is wonderful in lip balms, creams, lotions, body butters, lotion bars, bath bombs and more. The recommended usage rate is about 5 - 10%. INCI: Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice and Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Fruit Butter Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Bee Products Honey Powder Honey powder is natural honey that has been spray dried into a fine powder. It is then blended with fructose and maltodextrin to keep it free flowing. Honey powder is similar in texture to corn flour. Honey is said to be a natural antiseptic due to its tendency to absorb the life-sustaining moisture out of bacterial cell walls. As such, it is useful to include in healing salves and to use as a natural wound cover. Honey attracts the dirt from skin pores and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. It, therefore, is said to be a natural skin cleanser and softener. Use honey powder in your creams, lotions, soaps, scrubs, facials, masks, body wraps, bath teas, milk baths, bath salts and bath bombs. Please Note: Honey powder can absorb moisture during transit under certain weather conditions. We cannot guarantee that it will remain powdered. If it hardens, it can be powdered again in a food processor. INCI: Honey, Fructose, Maltodextrin Shelf Life: 1 Year Royal Jelly Powder Royal jelly is rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant hormones. It is said to be a “miracle” food that is produced by worker bees. The female bees who consume this highly nutritious, thick, milky colored substance are those who become the queen bee, living 30 times longer than bees not fed this substance. In skin care preparations, royal jelly is said to revitalize the skin, plump up skin cells, improve elasticity and help heal damaged skin. Use 2-5% royal jelly in creams, lotions, body balms, and lip balms. Beeswax (White, Filtered, Pellets) Beeswax is a natural secretion of honey bees. Beeswax has the beautiful, sweet aroma of honey and a rich, golden color. Our cosmetic beeswax is decolorized and filtered to remove any impurities and then shaped into small pellets for easy use. Use this wax in creams, lotions, balms, body butters and other formulations where rigidity or body are required. It lends emollient, softening properties to your products and works as a humectant. When added to soap, beeswax lends hardness and resistance to melting. In candle making, pure beeswax candles are better for the environment than paraffin candles, and beeswax should be considered when making aromatherapy grade candles. Beeswax also acts as an emulsifier when combined at the right proportions with Borax. USP/NF (food/cosmetic grade) INCI: Beeswax Shelf Life: Stable SAP Value: 89 - 103 NaOH: .067 (converted to oz.)

(800) 520-2060 77 Additives and Other Ingredients (continued) Gums Guar Gum Guar gum is derived from the guar plant. Guar gum is a natural thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer, and is widely used in food and cosmetics. Guar gum is useful because it has the ability to thicken without requiring heat. Its viscosity is a function of temperature, time and concentration. When combined with a saturated solution of borax and water, guar gum will form a gel. It is used at a rate of .1-.5% in most formulations. INCI: Guar Gum Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Xanthan Gum Xanthan gum is a natural thickener derived from corn sugar. It produces high viscosities at low concentrations (.5-2%), is soluble in hot and cold water and is tolerant to salt, pH and temperature changes. It can thicken and add volume to lotions, creams and gels. It also works as a suspension agent. To use xanthan gum, you should use a mechanical mixer or blender. Disperse the gum in some medium and then blend it into your water phase. It can be first mixed with dry ingredients such as cornstarch, clays or oat starch. Alternatively, you can mechanically disperse xanthan gum in a non-aqueous solvent like glycerin or vegetable oil and then blend it into your water phase. It is important to keep the batch in motion (in a blender or with a stick blender) while combining the phases. INCI: Xanthan Gum Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Solubilizers/Emulsifiers Fragrance Base Fragrance oils and essential oils do not disperse in water without the use of a solubilizer. Use our fragrance oil base to solubilize your fragrance or essential oils into water. Use 1 part essential oil or fragrance oil to 3 or 4 parts fragrance oil base. Add your solubilized oil to distilled water or other carrier such as teas, witch hazel or floral waters. Be sure to keep the percentage of fragrance oil or essential oil to within safe limits. The identity of the individual components of this mixture is proprietary and is considered to be a trade secret. From Nature With Love is not able to supply the ingredient list. It is composed of chemicals commonly found in fragrance oils. When using solubilizer in your formulations, it is covered by the inclusion of “Fragrance” in your ingredient list. INCI: Fragrance Shelf Life: 2 Years Polysorbate 20 Polysorbate 20 is a non-ionic surfactant that acts as a gentle, non irritating emulsifier. It is used to emulsify oils in water and can be used in body or room sprays, creams, lotions and other formulations. To make sprays, start by mixing equal amounts of polysorbate 20 to fragrance or essential oil (1:1). Let the mixture rest. If it is not clear, you can try adding a little more polysorbate 20. Adding vodka to the solution will also help clear it up. Add your fragrance solution to your water. Then add your vodka and shake. Vodka will help to clarify the solution and will act as a preservative. Polysorbate 20 is great to use as a solubilizer for body sprays, room sprays, linen sprays and dispersing bath oils. INCI: Polysorbate 20 Shelf Life: 2 Years Emulsifying Wax (Vegetable Based) Our NF quality, vegetable based emulsifying wax is used to keep the oil and water from separating in your creams and lotions. It is supplied in white waxy pellets or flakes, and it has low odor. The emulsifying wax is made from vegetable source fatty alcohols however, this product is not considered “all natural.” It combines the emollient, emulsifying, thickening properties of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. Emulsifying wax can form extremely stable water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions. Use at 5%-10% in your “water in oil” or “oil in water” emulsions. Melt the wax with your other fats and waxes and then slowly add your water phase while continuously stirring. The key to forming a stable emulsion is to keep the formulation in motion until it cools completely.

Apple cider vinegar is created by fermenting the juice of apples. It is well known for many of its internal uses, but is also extremely therapeutic when used externally. Apple cider vinegar helps to maintain healthy skin and hair by restoring a healthy pH level. It soothes sunburn, cleanses and disinfects wounds, helps to heal bruises, helps with itchy scalp, dandruff and hair loss and soothes aches and pains. Used in bath water or in a clay facial or body wrap, it can help soothe itchy, irritated skin and help dissolve excess fatty deposits near the surface of the skin. Apple cider vinegar is helpful to our canine friends. It is great for maintaining a healthy, shiny coat in dogs. It works as a repellent for fleas, ticks and other insects because they don’t like the acidic environment. Apple cider vinegar also alleviates hot spots, constant wound licking and canine skin allergies. Feeding 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar along with regular food can prevent dog urine from yellowing lawns and can ease the pains of arthritis. The benefits of apple cider vinegar are endless. We recommend that you read as much as you can about this wonderful ingredient that can add benefit to many of your formulations. Use apple cider vinegar to make herbal hair rinses, face packs, bath soaks and more.

The high mineral content allows cation exchange to detoxify the skin. Dead Sea products help revitalize, exfoliate and purify the skin. They draw excess oils and debris from the skin leaving a clean fresh feeling. Dead Sea salt is wonderful for use in a variety of applications such as bath salts, salt scrubs, foot scrubs, bath bombs, bath teas, body wraps and body polishers.

Use the mud as a hair pack to alleviate dandruff and oily hair conditions. It will not overdry the scalp. To Use the Mud or Clay: A Dead Sea mud mask can be made very simply by mixing Dead Sea clay and enough water, hydrosol or other wetting agent to make a thick paste. The best water to use is Dead Sea brine. You can also use the mud which is already wet. Try adding 3 drops of essential oil to the mud to help cleanse the pores and kill the bacteria that causes blemishes. Other wetting agents for the clay include fruit puree, yogurt, cucumber juice and milk. Honey can be added to make the mask anti-bacterial. If your skin tends to be dry in places, trying adding some jojoba to the mud mask to help balance the skin. Other good additives include our powdered sea vegetables, powdered rice bran, colloidal oatmeal, nut meals and powdered herbs. Dead Sea masks cannot be premixed and stored, so only mix what you will use immediately. Alternatively, you can provide customers with a specially blended wetting agent in a separate container so they can prepare the mask when desired. A great Dead Sea hair wrap can be made with 1/2 cup mud or clay (wet with Dead Sea brine), 1 tablespoon shikakai powder, 1 teaspoon aritha powder, 1 teaspoon neem powder, 1 tablespoon jojoba oil and 5 drops of rosemary essential oil. All of these ingredients are available throughout our catalog. Mix all of the ingredients and massage through wet hair. Wrap your head with plastic and then a hot towel. Leave it in for at least 15 minutes, and then wash out. Dead Sea Clay Dead Sea clay is rich in the minerals found at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and it can be used for all skin types.

The high mineral content of Dead Sea salt stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Increased circulation moves trapped fluid from joints, improving joint movement and reducing stiffness and pain. Regular use of salts promotes healthy skin by exfoliating and encouraging regeneration of new skin cells. The coarse grain size is great for bath salts and for decorating melt and pour soaps. The medium grain size ranges in size from pretzel salt to pebble size and is also wonderful for use in bath salts and scrubs. The fine grain size is about the size of table salt. It is perfect for use in bath salts, foot scrubs and body polishes. The powder grain size is very small and is great for bath bombs, bath teas, body wraps and body polishers. It can be added to facial clay for a mineral treatment. Dead Sea salt can be used by itself to make a bath salt, or you can blend it with other types of salts to keep your costs down. It can be used “as is” or you can add fragrance and color.

Your donation added to the enjoyment of our day! I was the honored recipient of the $40 gift certificate! Because I place orders with you, this was a thrill.” — Denise Hie Edmonds, WA 90 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Salts and Sugars Salts For centuries, people have bathed in the mineral-rich seas of the world to help promote good health and beautiful skin. Ancient records show that people traveled many miles to bathe in salt waters such as the Dead Sea, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Blue Lagoon and the famous mineral springs around the world. The mineral-rich, salty waters have been known to help alleviate even the most severe cases of dry skin disorders. Salt water bathing stimulates circulation, hydrates the skin, increases moisture retention, promotes cellular regeneration, detoxifies the skin and helps heal dry, scaling, irritated skin. It also reduces inflammation of the muscles and joints, relaxes muscles and relieves pain and soreness. Important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, bromide and calcium are readily absorbed into the skin when we bath in a lukewarm sea salt bath. 2 - 4 cups of sea salt per bath are recommended for detoxifying and for alleviating itchy, dry skin. When essential oils are added to a salt bath, they are also readily absorbed and this increases their therapeutic effectiveness. Use salts to make bath soaks, bath bombs, bath fizzies, scrubs and foot soaks. Sea salt water can also be used in creams and lotions to help soothe irritated skin due to eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions. We carry some of the most exotic, spa grade salts from around the world. They are all naturally harvested from mineral-rich waters, and they possess the finest mineral compositions for use in skin care. Use them “as is” for bath salts or color and scent them for use as fragranced bath soaks. Our fine grain salts are perfect for exfoliating salt scrubs. Bath salts are extremely easy and fun to make. They can be made from one or more varieties of salt. Combine different salts to bring the therapeutic properties of each of the salts into your bath salt blend. Using different grain sizes provides more visual appeal. Bath salts can be lightly colored in beautiful pastel or light earthy hues by using mica powder or our organic FD&C dyes. Mica powders add a light shimmer to bath salts. We suggest only lightly coloring your bath salts so that the dye will not stain the skin during bath time. You may also add a tiny amount of vegetable oil to add moisturizing properties to your bath salt blend. Bath salts can be fragranced with essential oils or fragrance oils. Use approximately 1% essential oil or 2% fragrance oil. If fragrancing your bath salt blend, we suggest including Dendritic salt in your bath salt blend. Dendritic salt helps retain the aroma of your bath salts. Our fine grain salts are also wonderful for use in making exfoliating body and foot scrubs. Experiment by mixing fine grain salts with your choice of the following: vegetable oils (fractionated coconut oil works well), natural castille soap base, herbs, clays and/or 1% essential oil (for fragrance and additional therapeutic benefit). We do not recommend using salt scrubs on the face. Naturally harvested sea salts are hand cleaned when packaged. They, however, often contain small particles of seaweed, sand, shell and other beach particles. Large mineral deposits appear as small stones or pebbles. These particles are not harmful, but they can be cosmetically undesirable. We do our best not to send out salts that have too much natural beach debris. Black Sea Pink Pamper yourself with the nourishing minerals of traditionally harvested Black Sea pink salt. According to ancient scriptures, kings and other people of nobility traveled long distances to the Black Sea in pursuit of its curative powers. Today, expert salt makers harvest this exotic salt by hand from salt flats within the marshes. This traditional method of harvesting ensures that the salt retains its natural mineral content and remains chemical free. High concentrations of halophilic bacteria live in the water and salt crust and cause the pink coloration of this salt. The bacteria produces a red carotenoid pigment which is a source of beta-carotene. It is this pigment which protects the bacteria from intense radiation from the sun. Black Sea pink salt has been said to provide pain relief from eczema, psoriasis, rheumatism, arthritis and muscle strain. It has also been used by the ancients to improve the health of the skin. Black Sea pink salt is a medium to chunky grain white salt with a very slight pink tint. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Black Sea Pink Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Dead Sea Available in Powder, Fine, Medium and Coarse grain sizes. Dead Sea salt is mineral-rich and contains high proportions of Potassium, Magnesium and Bromide. Potassium helps regulate the moisture level of the skin. Magnesium helps promote healing and bromide has a smoothing and relaxing effect. Dead Sea salt exfoliates and revitalizes the skin, and it helps draw out toxins. Sea salt is well known for its ability to relieve aches and pains, reduce stiffness after exertion, relax the muscles and relieve skin problems such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. The high mineral content of Dead Sea salt stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Increased circulation moves trapped fluid from joints, improving joint movement and reducing stiffness and pain. Regular use of Dead Sea salt promotes healthy skin by exfoliating and encouraging regeneration of new skin cells.

It can be used “as is” or you can add fragrance and color. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Dead Sea Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Dendritic Dendritic salt is a very fine grain salt which has been crystallized to provide greater surface area. The increased surface area helps to retain fragrance, requires less pigment and reduces clumping. By adding approximately 5% dendritic salt to your bath salts, your bath salts will retain their fragrance longer than without the inclusion of dendritic salt. Combine dendritic salt with medium and/or coarse grain salts if you prefer chunkier salts. To use, mix your essential or fragrance oil with your dendritic salt and then blend the dendritic salt into your other salts. INCI: Sodium Chloride Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Epsom Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, is used alone or included in bath salt blends. Epsom salt is known for its ability to ease pain and muscular tension. Epsom salt helps to reduce swelling, relax the nervous system and eliminate toxins from the body. INCI: Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Hawaiian Red Sea (Alaea) Available in Fine and Medium grain sizes. Hawaiian Red Sea salt, also known as Alaea sea salt, is a natural, unprocessed salt. It is rich in minerals from the sea and volcanic red clay from the earth. The volcanic red clay is high in iron oxide. Hawaiian Red Sea salt is considered to be a sacred salt because it originates from both the sea and earth. It was traditionally used to cleanse and bless homes and belongings, and it was also used in healing rituals. Hawaiian Red Sea salt is said to have curative properties when used for sore throats, wounds, body aches, muscle sprains, gum infections and cold sores. It is believed to draw toxins from overworked muscle tissue. This is a beautiful, naturally colored salt. Include either grain size in detoxifying bath salts and include the fine grain size in salt scrubs. It can also be used to speckle other white sea salts. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt) and Iron Oxide (Red Alaea Clay) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Our Icelandic geo-thermal brine salt is harvested from one of the world’s purest water reservoirs. This geo-thermal brine (sea water) comes from a steaming hot (hotter than 300 degrees) pool found 1 mile below the earth’s surface in Iceland. The brine is drawn up and then heated by the natural geo-thermal steam until all the water has evaporated, leaving behind only the clean, pure salt. The harvested salt is rich in silica and essential trace elements, but it contains 60% less sodium than regular sea salt. Icelandic geo-thermal brine salt is a soft, white powdery salt that dissolves instantly in water and leaves skin feeling silky soft. Use Icelandic geo-thermal brine salt in your bath to relax sore, tired muscles, detoxify your skin and to help relieve dry, scaling skin conditions. It is gentle enough to add to baby’s bath water to help relieve itchy skin. Use this mineral rich salt in your creams and lotions for various dry skin conditions. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Extraction Method: Naturally Harvested Sea Available in Fine, Medium and Coarse grain sizes. Naturally harvested Caribbean sea salt contains minerals which are needed by our bodies. Sea salt helps draw toxins from the skin and soothes sore muscles. 92 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Salts and Sugars (continued) Our coarse sea salt is a large crystal salt that is very attractive uncolored but can also be lightly tinted. It is great for bath salts and for decorating melt and pour soaps. The medium grain size is wonderful for use in bath salts and scrubs. The fine grain size is about the size of table salt and is perfect for use in bath salts, foot scrubs and body polishes.

They gently exfoliate the skin just as our salts do, but our natural sugars look so much more decadent! Experiment by substituting one of our natural sugars for the salt in your favorite salt scrub recipe! Because our sugars retain their natural molasses content, they do impart a slightly sweet, molasses aroma to your recipe. When choosing essential or fragrance oils to fragrance your blend, please choose oils with aromas that will blend well. Examples of essential oils that tend to blend well with our sugars are sandalwood, patchouli, orange or vanilla. You may also explore our selection of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, fruit, nut and spice fragrance oils for fragrances that blend well with our sugars. Brown Available in Light and Dark This moist, fine grain brown sugar has a high content of natural molasses. The molasses content determines the color of the sugar. It is a perfect sugar to use for body scrubs. The natural brown color gives your sugar scrub a more natural look than ordinary white, refined sugar. The tint of our natural sugars can vary slightly. The shade of our dark brown sugar resembles that of milk chocolate. Our light brown sugar is golden brown. Brown sugar tends to harden quickly, so it must be stored in air-tight containers. We recommend storing it in small, usable portions. Note: Hard sugar can be softened by microwaving it for a few minutes with a cup of water placed beside it. INCI: Sucrose (Brown Sugar) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Demerara Demerara sugar is a crunchy, medium grain, golden brown sugar. It is rich in natural sugarcane molasses. It also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron and potassium. These minerals are only found in trace amounts in refined white sugar. Demerara sugar is a great natural sugar to use in sugar scrubs. Store it in an airtight container and keep it in a moisture-free environment. INCI: Sucrose (Demerara Sugar) Shelf Life: Stable (keep away from moisture) Turbinado Turbinado sugar is made using 100% pure cane sugar, and it retains the natural molasses found in the sugar crystals.

They exfoliate, clean and invigorate the skin while improving blood circulation. Clays have the ability to absorb excess oil, dirt and harmful toxins from the skin. Cosmetic clays are made up of different minerals, and each clay type has a different effect on the skin.

Regular use of clay facials will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation to the skin, remove debris from the pores and bring about a smooth healthy glow. Each clay has the ability to absorb toxins from the skin but they each differ in their level of absorption. Clays can be used in facials, body powders, soaps, and as a natural colorant for soap, lotions, creams, bath salts and more. Our clays are cosmetic grade. In most cases, they are also USP/medicinal grade. This is important to note because technical grade clays often have dangerously high content levels of lead.

INCI: Maris limus (Black Mud) Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years (if kept free from contamination) Moor Moor mud is one of the world’s most prized ancient medicines. It has been used for centuries to balance, detoxify, and tone the body. Historical reports reveal the many uses of moor mud in the treatment of human disease. Even animals have been observed using moor mud for its curative properties. Moor mud is the unique product of time and nature that started with the retreat of the last Ice Age. A very fertile valley brimming with plant life was formed and isolated from the rest of the world. These plants became submerged under a lake formed by the melting glaciers. Over time, this area became a rich, live deposit of organic substances with all of the properties of the plants intact. Analysis of moor mud shows that it contains over 1000 organic botanicals, trace minerals and elements, enzymes, natural antibiotics, vitamins and phyto-hormones. Moor mud is being rediscovered today by the world’s best naturopaths, and it is being used to heal a wide range of disorders. It is seen on the menus of the world’s finest spas for complete body care. In addition to its cosmetic use as a natural exfoliant, detoxifier and cellulite reducer, moor mud can be used in poultices to reduce swelling, reduce inflammation, draw out abscesses and to promote healing with minimized scar formation. Use it alone or add essential oils for their added therapeutic benefits. To prevent bacterial growth, this mud has been preserved with nutricide, an anti-microbial agent derived from lemons. Ingredients: 99.9% moor mud and less than .1%: nutricide, phenonip and bentonite.

Basic Melt and Pour Soap Making Steps To make melt and pour soap, cut your chosen soap base into cubes using the perforated grid on the block as a guideline. Heat water to boiling in the bottom pot of a double boiler. Then, reduce heat to simmer. In the top pot of the boiler, add the soap cubes. Stir frequently until they have melted. Then add any desired colorant, clays or other additives (except for solid ingredients and fragrance), and stir until well incorporated. Immediately remove your melted soap from of the stove, and let 100 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Bases (continued) it cool slightly. Stir the soap frequently as it cools. Add your desired fragrance, and stir well. After the soap has cooled slightly, it can be poured into plastic molds. Your soap should be ready to unmold within 2 hours. Tips Preservatives do not need to be added to your soap unless you are using milk, fruit or other fragile ingredients. Use about .5 - 1 oz. fragrance oil or .5 oz. of essential oil per pound of soap. You will need to experiment with the amount of fragrance or essential oil to add as it can vary depending on the oil’s aromatic strength. Clays can be used as natural colorants. Dry ingredients such as clays, oatmeal, herbs or fruit seeds should be added at a rate of about 1 tablespoon per lb. of soap. Bases do not suspend heavy particles, so try to add solid ingredients when the soap has cooled slightly. Do not overheat or microwave soap bases because excessive heat will ruin the lather and make the soap brittle. Glycerin soaps should be packaged immediately after removing them from molds to avoid condensation on the bar. Fingerprints can be removed from soap with a little bit of alcohol.

Samplers and Soap Putty Soap Putty Our soap putty consists of fun noodles of soft, squishy, cream colored cold process soap. It has been scented with natural essential oils. Soap putty can be molded just like clay. You can knead in some color, if desired, or simply leave it uncolored. It is a great hit in children’s bath time baskets. Soap putty can also be colored and packed into soap molds to quickly make soaps. Soap putty soaps can be used immediately, but they will last longer if you allow them to dry for 5 days. When using wooden soap molds, soap putty can be used to seal the seams so that your hot soap will not leak as it cools. Keep unused soap putty in a well sealed container to keep it from drying out. Melt and Pour Soap Samplers Please see our Melt and Pour Soap Price List for details on our melt and pour soap samplers. They are a wonderful way to affordably try each of our soap bases. Miniature Soaps Our small, miniature soaps are great for embedding in melt and pour soap. The larger big bear, oval stripe, scallop, and stripe soaps are perfect to sell individually or to use in the guest bathroom. All miniature soaps are beautiful when included in gift baskets or packaged together as a guest soap collection. Each soap is individually wrapped.

Inorganic refers to the fact that they lack a carbon molecule and has nothing to do with the quality or purity of the color additive. Organic dyes can be water or oil-soluble. Water-soluble dyes, like our FD&C dyes, give crisp, brilliant, transparent color to your clear products and light, clean tints to your opaque products. They are great for coloring soaps, lotions, creams, powders and salts. They can bleed if used in high concentrations, so do not use excessively, and test in small batches. The color may not be very stable under alkaline conditions or if exposed to light, and soaps made with FD&C dyes may fade. We do not currently carry any oil-soluble dyes, lake pigments or carmines. Inorganic color additives are regulated by the FDA to ensure that they do not contain harmful levels of heavy metals. Although iron oxides can be found in nature (rocks, dirt), they contain heavy metals such as lead. Iron oxides for cosmetics are synthetically manufactured. They produce “earthy” tones and never bright, true colors. You can achieve beautiful, muted colors with these pigments. Using Color Additives Using color additives can be tricky even for someone with a chemistry background. Testing is always required. Colors may bleed, fade, speckle, change over time or not result in the color you expected. Colors will be affected by the color of your base, any fragrances used, other ingredients, pH and other variables. We cannot provide all the information necessary for the proper use of color additives, and we encourage you to do your own research. Color additives should not be used directly on the skin. Even micas should be combined with fillers and then properly preserved for making cosmetic blushes and other cosmetics. We do not provide any technical support for the formulation of eye and face cosmetics. Do not use any of these color additives for making eye products without proper technical knowledge. When making lip products, double check to make sure the product can be used in lip formulations. Color Additive Usage Guide Please refer to the below chart to locate the color additives that are safe to use for your particular application. From Nature With Love provides this chart as a service to its customers. It is up to the customer to adequately research the appropriate use and safety information for each ingredient contained in the finished product, including any governmental regulations in place for proper usage, labeling and sale.

Organic Dyes (FD&C Dyes) Our D&C and FD&C powders are a concentrated water based dye in dry powder form. Dilute the powder in distilled water and mix well. Our liquid organic dyes are pre-mixed and are water based. Our dyes are great for soaps, bath salts, bath bombs, body powders, and other water based or dry formulations. These dyes are not always stable in alkaline formulations and may fade in soaps. Please test dyes in your products to see if they will remain stable over time. Using either our liquid dye or the powdered dye diluted in distilled water, add the dye to your water phase drop by drop until you get the desired color. When adding dyes to dry salts or powders, you will need to be patient while mixing. It takes awhile, but the dyes will color uniformly. We offer each of the below colors in both powdered and liquid form. We also offer sampler packages that allow you to experiment with all of the liquid or powder dye colors. Please be sure to read the Color Additive Usage Guide to ensure that the dye you wish to use is suitable for your particular purpose.

These herbs can be used directly in soaps to achieve solid color or a speckled effect. Alternatively, you can make an oil infusion by warming the herb in oil first. The strained oil can then be used to tint your formulations. To make an infusion, we recommend placing your herb in a double boiler and then covering it with olive oil. Allow the oil to warm for 2 hours and then check the color. If desired, you can strain the herb out and replace it with fresh herb and warm the same oil for another 2 hours. Some experimentation will be needed to achieve the right colors in your products. Tip: Don’t forget that FNWL offers a large selection of packaging supplies!

They are made by coating small platelets of mica with various dyes and pigments. The size of the mica particle is measured in microns and determines the luster of the mica (the ability of the mica to bend and reflect light). Smaller sizes will give a pearlescent effect with a smooth sheen. Medium size particles give a satin effect. Large particle sizes give a sparkle effect. The smaller the particle size is, the more opaque it will make your product. So you can use the fine micas to opacify transparent soaps. Some micas are first coated with an iron oxide which absorbs light and then it is coated with an interference color to reflect light. The result is a two-tone mica which changes color as it turns. Pearlescent micas are used to add color and sheen to various cosmetic products and are mostly used in the production of lipsticks and eye shadows. Use micas in lip balms, creams, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, soap (check for the possibility of color fading by first making a small test batch), lotions bars, body gel, body powders and milk baths. Micas can be heavy and may settle out in low viscosity. To use in soaps, pour your soaps at cooler temperatures as they will suspend the micas better. To achieve the real effect of a mica in soap, the particles need to be aligned in the same direction - you can try pouring your soap and then “combing” the surface of the soap in one direction using a spatula. You will get different results when you add micas to colored verses non-colored soaps. Having a background color enhances the effects of the mica. To add mica powder to a liquid formulation, first disperse the mica in a small amount of oil and then add the colored oil to the batch once all the clumps are broken up. Micas are easily stirred into dry salts and powders. Please be sure to refer to the List of Available Micas on page 114 for to learn which micas are safe for use in soaps, lip and eye products.

Our buttermilk, goat’s milk and whole milk powders can be combined or used alone. Ideas for additives that can be used in your milk baths are vitamin E oil, oatmeal powder, powdered herbs, and honey powder. Add milk powders to soap and toiletries to give your products a creamy texture and additional moisturizing properties. Our milk powders can be used in soap, creams, lotions, herbal milk baths, washbags, facial cleansers and masks. For soap making, the normal dilution rate is 4 tablespoons of milk powder per cup of liquid. Milk powders can be doubled to 8 tablespoons per cup of liquid to make it extra creamy and add extra fat. To prevent curdling in cold process soap making, chill your milk powder mixture before use. To use milk powders in melt and pour soap making, measure out 1 tablespoon of powder per pound of soap. Make a thick paste with a small amount of water. Add the mixture to your melted base, and stir to incorporate. Milk powders have a slight natural odor that can be masked with the addition of essential or fragrance oils. Buttermilk Buttermilk powder is soothing and moisturizing when used alone as a bath soak or included in recipes for milk baths, bath salts, or other bath formulations. Buttermilk powder can be combined with other milk powders, cornstarch, powdered herbs, oatmeal and rice bran. INCI: Buttermilk Powder Country of Origin: Holland Shelf Life: 1 Year Coconut Add the skin softening benefits of coconut milk and milk proteins to your milk baths, facials, soaps, body wraps, creams and lotions with food grade coconut milk powder. For a moisturizing milk bath, combine coconut milk powder with equal parts Natrasorb, cornstarch or oatmeal and milk or yogurt powder. We recommend first adding your fragrance and moisturizing oils to the Natrasorb and then blending with the remaining dry ingredients. Herbal extracts and/or powdered herbs, honey powder, royal jelly and other powdered nutritives may be added for additional benefits. This milk bath blend can be added to the tub for a softening soak or mixed into a paste with heavy cream or yogurt for a creamy milk based body wrap. INCI: Dehydrated Coconut Milk, Maltodextrin and Milk Protein Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Goat’s Milk, Full Cream Goat’s milk has been recognized as a natural emollient for centuries. Goat’s milk helps soothe and moisturize the skin. It contains important vitamins such as A, B6, B12 and E. Goat’s milk has 3 times more beta-casein than cow’s milk. Caseins are easily absorbed into the skin and allow for quick hydration of dry skin. The content of triglycerides, capric, caprylic and caproic acid helps balance the skin’s natural pH and promotes natural exfoliation of dry skin. Goat’s milk, therefore, is an excellent ingredient to include in bath soaks, soaps, creams and lotions. This is a full cream goat’s milk powder. To make a milk bath, combine with other milk powders, honey powder or powdered herbs and essential oils. INCI: Goat Milk Powder Shelf Life: 6 Months - 1 Year (store in an air tight container in a dark, cool place) Whole Milk Milk has been used in skin care for thousands of years. Milk powder is used to make milk baths, bath bombs, milk based soaps and lotions. It is a natural emollient and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Whole milk powder soothes and moisturizes the skin and helps relieve dryness and itchy skin. Combine whole milk powder with cornstarch, oatmeal and honey powder to make a luscious milk bath. INCI: Whole Dry Milk Shelf Life: 1 Year 116 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Milk Powders (continued) Yogurt Yogurt soothes, softens and rejuvenates the skin. It acts similarly to milk and can be used in milk baths, facials, body scrubs, soaps and other skin care products. Now you can add yogurt powder to a dry facial blend without having to worry about the shelf life. Try a traditional Balinese facial: Blend powdered yogurt, honey, milk, rice bran, clay and herbs with heavy cream and a few drops of rosehip seed oil. You can also blend yogurt and milk powders with grated cocoa butter for a luxurious bath blend. (Please see our Equipment section for a drum grater.) Yogurt aromatherapy bath blends are becoming popular in Europe and are easy to make. To add yogurt powder to soaps, add about 2 tablespoons of yogurt powder per pound of soap. Premix the powder with a little water reserved from your soap recipe.

They have many uses in cosmetic applications. They deliver emolliency, lubrication and binding in lotions, creams and other products while maintaining thickness or stick structure. Jojoba Esters, MP44 This is a soft, creamy, white wax that feels just like liquid jojoba when it melts on the skin. It is used to replace some of the beeswax in lip balms and lotion bars to reduce the waxy feel. It imparts the natural moisturizing properties of jojoba while still maintaining the rigidity of stick balms. This product can also be used in creams, lotions, salt scrubs and bath bombs. INCI: Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil Shelf Life: 1 Year Jojoba Esters, MP56 This is a firm white paste of jojoba that can be used to replace some of the beeswax in lip balms and lotion bars to reduce the waxy feel. It imparts the natural moisturizing properties of jojoba while still maintaining the rigidity of stick balms. This product can also be used in creams and lotions as a 100 % natural thickener. INCI: Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil Shelf Life: 1 Year Jojoba Wax Beads Add these soft wax beads to cleansers, scrubs, thick gels and creams for gentle exfoliation. They also look beautiful when suspended in suspension shower gels. Available in your choice of blue, brown, green, red, white or yellow. Our jojoba wax bead sampler allows you to try all six colors! INCI: Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Other Waxes Beeswax (White, Filtered, Pellets) Beeswax is a natural secretion of honey bees. Beeswax has the beautiful, sweet aroma of honey and a rich, golden color. Our cosmetic beeswax is decolorized and filtered to remove any impurities. It is then shaped into small pellets for easy use. This beeswax has a mild, sweet aroma. Use this wax in creams, lotions, balms, body butters and other formulations where rigidity or body are required. It lends emollient, softening properties to your products and works as a humectant. When added to soap, beeswax lends hardness and resistance to melting. In candle making, pure beeswax candles are better for the environment than paraffin candles, and beeswax should be considered when making aromatherapy grade candles. Beeswax also acts as an emulsifier when combined in the right proportions with borax. USP/NF (food/cosmetic grade) INCI: Beeswax Shelf Life: Stable SAP Value: 89 - 103 NaOH: .067 (converted to oz.) KOH: .095 (converted to oz.) Beeswax (Yellow, Filtered, Pellets) Natural beeswax has the beautiful, sweet smell of honey and a rich, golden color. These sweet smelling, golden colored pellets are convenient to use in creams, lotions, soaps, balms and candles. They are filtered for use in cosmetics to eliminate impurities. The natural color will lend a slightly yellow hue to your products. INCI: Beeswax Shelf Life: Stable SAP Value: 89 - 103 NaOH: 0.067 (converted to oz.) KOH: 0.095 (converted to oz.) 118 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Waxes (continued) Emulsifying Wax (Vegetable Based) Our NF quality, vegetable based emulsifying wax is used to keep the oil and water from separating in your creams and lotions. It is supplied in white waxy pellets or flakes, and it has low odor. Emulsifying wax is made from vegetable source fatty alcohols, so it is not considered “all natural.” It combines the emollient, emulsifying, thickening properties of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. Emulsifying wax can form extremely stable water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions. Use at 5% - 10% in your “water in oil” or “oil in water” emulsions. Melt the wax with your other fats and waxes and then slowly add your water phase while continuously stirring. The key to forming a stable emulsion is to keep the formulation in motion until it cools completely.

Baltimore, MD (800) 520-2060 119 Preservatives Commercial products are typically loaded with preservatives to allow them to remain fresh during the long span between the time of manufacture and the time the customer finishes using them. Although preservatives do extend the longevity of the products and help keep them free from bacteria, the preservatives themselves are often unhealthy. Many cause or promote skin problems and some are even reported to cause cancer. Individuals who are sensitive to preservatives need to find preservative-free products. Are there any natural preservatives? Not really. Natural substances that show antimicrobial activity are either not adequate for broad spectrum protection or they have undesirable qualities. Most natural substances are not active against the most threatening microbes, pseudomonads. Others, such as essential oils, require very high concentrations to be effective. Some have offensive odors or colors that would be unacceptable in skin care products. Many become inactivated by manufacturing procedures and other factors. So a natural preservative is not really an option. One of the many advantages to handcrafting your own natural products is that you can eliminate or minimize the use of harmful preservatives. Instead, you can adapt more natural methods of preserving and/or using your products. Preservative-Free Formulations It’s important to remember that your preservative-free, natural products will not stay fresh for as long as commercial products do. By making your products in small batches that you use up within a short period of time, your products will stay fresh and you eliminate the need to preserve your products with harsh chemical preservatives. Formulating anhydrous products is another way to eliminate the need for chemical antimicrobial preservatives. Bar soaps typically do not require an antimicrobial but stay fresher when an antioxidant is used. You do have natural antioxidants available to you for this purpose. Switch to the use of natural balms made of oil and butter instead of creams and lotions which require an antimicrobial preservative. Create dry bath products such as bath salts, milk baths, bath bombs and bath teas to eliminate the need for antimicrobial preservatives. Salt scrubs, bath oils, bath melts and other oil based products can stay fresh as long as water is not introduced to the container during use. Again, you may wish to use a natural antioxidant to keep the oils fresh. Minimize contamination potential by choosing your packaging carefully. Dispensing bottles are better than open mouth jars. Direct sunlight and UV rays, oxygen, heat, moisture and bacteria from your fingers can all be detrimental to your products. Below are several tips for protecting and preserving your preservative free formulations: • Be sure your hands, work surface, and utensils are clean/sterile when preparing your products. This will help ensure that you do not introduce bacteria or contaminate your batch. Commercial skin care production is undertaken in extremely clean and sterile environments for this same reason. • Store your products in dark containers or opaque packaging to keep them away from the harmful effects of sunlight. We offer a wide selection of packaging solutions for your products. • Ensure that your packaging is airtight. Natural products can oxidize and go rancid when exposed to air. • Heat can also be damaging to natural products. Store products in a cupboard or other cool place. • Because our fingers can be a host to bacteria, try to avoid dipping your fingers into your jars and bottles. Instead, use a clean spoon, toothpick, popsicle stick or other appropriate utensil to obtain the amount that you wish to use. Lotion pumps and PET bottles with turret or disc tops are wonderful for dispensing most fluid ingredients such as lotions and gels. Please see our Packaging section for our selection of lotion pumps and bottles. When You Have to Have an Antimicrobial Preservative If you are formulating something that contains water, milk, hydrosols or other aqueous liquids, you will have to preserve the product or use it within 3-4 days refrigerated. It simply is not optional. Water provides a medium for harmful bacteria, mold, yeast and fungi to grow over time. If used, a contaminated product could cause severe health problems, blindness and even death. Your product must be adequately preserved to prevent contamination and microbial growth. 120 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Preservatives (continued) So what are your options and how will your product differ from those found on store shelves? • First, even with a preservative, your product is still a healthier alternative to commercial products because the remaining ingredients within your product are natural or gentle. • Second, you won’t use unnecessarily high levels of preservatives like most commercial manufacturers use. Your options will be based on your formulation and what it contains. Essential oils are the most natural antimicrobials you will find. Some natural product manufacturers have successfully used oils such as tea tree or combinations of various essential oils to maintain product integrity. According to Preservatives for Cosmetics by David C. Steinberg, essential oils that have demonstrated antimicrobial activity include caraway, cinnamon, clove, cumin, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, rose, rosemary, sage, sandalwood and thyme. Unfortunately, the percentage required to adequately protect a product from microbial growth generally exceeds the recommendations for safe amounts of essential oils to use in skin care products. Grapefruit seed extract or citricidals are another class of antimicrobials that are considered by some to be more natural than the parabens. Choose your citricidal preservative carefully as some of them have questionable ingredients. A good quality citrus seed extract should not contain additional preservatives. Parabens are preservatives that are available in small quantities for crafters and small businesses. Paraben based preservatives include Germaben, Germaben II, Phenonip, Methyparaben and other types such as Germall and LiquaPar Oil. Antioxidants An antioxidant is a preservative that reduces the rate of oxidation in oils that oxidize quickly. Oxidation is a chemical process that occurs when oils or other natural ingredients are exposed to oxygen. Antioxidants extend the shelf life of your products by reducing the rate of oxidation of your oils. Use an antioxidant in any formulation which contains fragile oils such as sweet almond, hemp, avocado, flax or evening primrose. You can add antioxidants directly to your oils to help keep them fresh, or you can add the antioxidant to the oil phase of your recipe. Lip balms, lotion bars, creams, lotions, scrubs and any other product containing oils can benefit from the addition of an antioxidant. T-50 Vitamin E Oil Vitamin E contains natural antioxidants which extend the life of your products. Gamma tocopherol, a component of vitamin E, is a great antioxidant for protecting cosmetic formulations. T-50 has a larger amount of gamma tocopherols than other forms of vitamin E oil. While the alpha tocopherol in the 250, 1000, and 1400IU/g oils is wonderful as an in vitro antioxidant, studies show that the gamma tocopherol in the vitamin E T-50 oil is a better antioxidant for oils/lipids in cosmetic formulations. T-50 has a higher content of gamma tocopherols and can be used at a rate of .05% or 400 ppm to adequately protect your oils. INCI: Tocopherols Rosemary Oil Extract Rosemary oil extract (ROE) also acts as a natural antioxidant. ROE can impart its own aroma into your products, so keep that in mind when using it. As a preservative, add .15 to .5% of our undiluted rosemary oil extract to your products. Our rosemary oil extract is a 100% pure extract. It has not been diluted in a vegetable oil. INCI: Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract Tip: For additional information regarding preservatives, please read the article entitled “Preservative Controversy: Parabens vs. Citrus Seed Extracts” located within the Information Library area of our Web site: http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/library (800) 520-2060 121 Preservatives (continued) Anti-Microbials An anti-microbial is an ingredient or substance that helps to destroy unwanted micro-organisms such as bacteria. In the context of handmade skin care products, an anti-microbial helps preserve a product by keeping the product free of these unwanted micro-organisms. Grapefruit Seed Extract Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is a citrus seed based anti-microbial used as a preservative in skin care products. GSE is made with the extracts of citrus seeds and pulp. It is blended with vegetable glycerin to make it non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes when used in formulations. GSE is even safe enough to use as a disinfectant for drinking water when necessary. Our grapefruit seed extract is professional strength. It is 60% GSE in 40% vegetable glycerin. It is not the usual 33% found elsewhere. Please be sure to take that into consideration when using a recipe that simply calls for “GSE”. GSE has a shelf life of 7-9 years. It is said to be anti-microbial, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, astringent and does also have some antioxidant activity. Use GSE at .5 to 1% to preserve most formulations, or use at 2% to create anti-bacterial creams, salves, rinses and soaps. Please note that adding 2% GSE to your products does not mean that you can market or label the product as an “antibacterial” product. Wear gloves while handling grapefruit seed extract. GSE can be irritating to the skin in its undiluted form.

We also offer conventional Ayurvedic herbs. They are available within the Ayurvedic Herbs section of our catalog. Organic herbs are obtained from plants which have not been chemically treated and the soil is usually certified to be chemical free for a certain number of years. Many wildcrafted herbs are organic by nature, however, they may not be backed by the certificate. This does not mean the herb is poor quality - it simply means that the farm/harvester did not have the herb certified as organic. The certification process is quite costly and as such, organic herbs are priced much higher than conventional herbs. With some herbs, using conventional instead of organic may not pose any concern. With other herbs, however, you may want to make sure the herb is of organic quality, especially when the plant/fruit is known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides.

INCI: Bacopa monniera (Brahmi) Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Sea Vegetables The ocean is the richest source of life-sustaining minerals. It is not surprising that sea vegetables are considered to be the most nourishing source of essential vitamins and minerals for our health. Sea Vegetables such as Kelp, Nori, Bladderwrack, Dulse and Irish Moss contain significant amounts of vitamin A, B, E, D, K, C, carotenes and iodine. They contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, silica, iron and zinc. There are tremendous benefits of using these vegetables in the bath. Sea plants are said to help increase blood circulation to the skin, promote lymphatic draining, re-mineralize the skin, restore elasticity to the skin and leave the skin feeling smoother and more supple. Powdered sea vegetables can be used in facial packs, hair wraps, soaps and salt scrubs. Combine sea vegetables with other herbs, essential oils, Dead Sea or Moor mud and sea salts for a detoxifying body wrap. The practice of using mineral-rich sea vegetables to detoxify the body is called “Thalassotherapy.” “Thalasso” comes from the Greek word that means ocean, and the word “therapy” comes from the Greek word “therapeia” for care. Thalassotherapy involves using a therapeutic combination of fresh seawater (or brine), seaweed, marine derivatives, sea muds and heat to induce an exchange of minerals and toxins between our body and the water. The bath draws out the toxins 140 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Herbs (continued) while the skin absorbs the nutrients, namely sodium, iodine, magnesium, potassium, fluoride, sulfur, carbonates, phosphates, chloride, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements from the bath. The temperature of the bath should be around 100°F for maximum vasodilatation and exchange of toxins/nutrients.

Our accessories are mostly made from wood and all-natural fibers such as sisal, ramie, jute, hemp, loofah and boar bristle. We hope that the natural look of these products will not only complement your handcrafted soap and skin care products, but show them off with a special flair. Our product line includes combs, brushes, foot tools, pumice stones, shaving tools, massage tools, bath mitts, gloves, poufs, scrubs, sponges, washcloths, soap dishes and mirrors. We also offer a selection of miniature soaps that look beautiful when included in gift baskets. They are also great for embedding in melt and pour soap. Here are a few ideas that describe how our accessories can complement your products: • For a special packaging touch for soap bars, present your bars tied attractively with raffia to a wooden soap dish. We offer six different soap dish styles. Alternatively, you can also use one of our Bamboo Soap Wraps to wrap your soap. Our exfoliating, jute weave washcloths also make wonderful soap wraps. • Complement your hair and skin care products with coordinating bath accessories. Include one of our hemp washcloths, ramie mitts, or sea sponges with a bar of soap and coordinating bath salts and/or lotion. The ideas and combinations are endless. With our large selection, you can choose the perfect sponge, pouf, mitt or washcloth to complement your handcrafted soap bars, shower gel and other skin care products. • Create a pedicure basket by including a scented foot scrub, pumice stone and/or any of our other pedicure accessories. • Our wood-handled shaving brushes are great for men’s gift baskets. They complement our wooden shaving bowls and razors. • Our complexion brushes gently exfoliate the face and keep pores free from oil and dirt. Tied to a facial bar with raffia, these little brushes make a great party favor. • Wooden nail brushes keep cuticles and nails free from dirt. They are especially nice when packaged with a bar of Gardener’s Hand Soap. • Tie a handmade shampoo bar to one of our natural brushes or combs for a unique presentation. • Your creations and our accessories can be beautifully packaged together in one of our many crates or baskets.

Available Shapes and Cavity Sizes: Acorn: 3 1/8” x 2 3/4” x 1 1/8” Butterfly: 2 1/2” x 3 1/2” x 1 1/4” Circle: 3 1/4” x 3 1/4” x 1 1/4” Doves: 3 1/8” x 3 1/4” x 1 1/4” Heart: 2 3/4” x 3 1/4” x 1 1/4” Leaf: 4 1/4” x 2 1/2” x 1 1/4” Massage Bar: 4” x 2 1/2” x 1 10/16” Oval: 3 1/2” x 2 1/2” x 1 1/4” Pyramid: 3 3/4” x 3 3/4” x 1 10/16” (800) 520-2060 161 Equipment (continued) Rectangle: 3 1/4” x 2 1/4” x 1 1/4” Saddle: 3 1/16” x 2 1/2” x 1 1/4” Shell: 3 1/4” x 3 3/4” x 1 3/4” Snowflake: 3 1/16” x 3 1/16” x 1 1/4” Star: 3 3/4” x 3 3/4” x 1 1/4” Starfish: 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” x 1 3/4” Sunflower: 3 1/16” x 3 1/16” x 1 1/4” Wedding Bells: 3 1/8” x 3 1/8” x 1 1/4” Wooden Collapsible Molds Available in 2 lb., 4 lb., and 6 lb. Sizes Make perfect soap loaves with our easy-to-use collapsible, wooden soap molds. To use, assemble the mold, making sure the fit is nice and tight. You should not have leakage problems if the mold is assembled tightly. If necessary, you can “putty” the inner corners of the molds with our soap putty (Please see the Melt and Pour Soap Bases section of our catalog) or soft handmade soap to prevent leakage. Lay one piece of wax paper inside the mold across the width and another piece across the length. Crease the corners so the paper lays flat inside. You are now ready to pour the soap into the mold. Cover the soap loosely with plastic wrap or wax paper and cover with a towel or small blanket. To un-mold the loaf, simply undo the wing nuts and remove the walls. To clean the mold, scrape off the soap residue and wipe with a damp cloth, but do not immerse in water. When you are ready to cut your loaf, these loaves will fit right into our single slice loaf cutter. (The 6 lb. loaf will need to be cut in half first.) 2 Lb. Soap Log Size: 3.5 x 8 x 2.75 inches 4 Lb. Soap Log Size: 3.5 x 16 x 2.75 inches 6 Lb. Soap Log Size: 3.5 x 24 x 2.75 inches Grating, Grinding and Cutting Tools Soap Loaf Cutter with Cutting Blade Our 18” long soap loaf cutter will make 1” and 1 1/2” slices perfectly. Simply lay your loaf into the tray, adjust the stop to the slice thickness you want, push the soap up to the stop and then slice using the blade. The blade can be cleaned with warm water. Drum Grater Use this stainless steel drum grater to grate cocoa butter and other hard butters. The drum grater comes with both fine and coarse drums. For best results, your butter should be very hard. Butters can be set in the fridge to harden before grating. Mortar & Pestle This heavy stone mortar and pestle set is great for grinding herbs and salts. Cookware Universal Double Boiler Insert The double boiler insert is an indispensable tool for toiletry making. Most people don’t have a double boiler at home. Heating oils in cookware that sits directly on top of the heat source can overheat and destroy the beneficial properties of delicate oils and other ingredients. Microwaving can also overheat your ingredients. The advantage of using a double boiler or our double boiler insert is that it allows for more gentle heating of your ingredients. Double boilers typically are comprised of two stacking pots. Water is added to the bottom pot (the pot that sits directly on top of the heat source). Oils and your other ingredients are added to the top pot. The top pot rests slightly inside the bottom pot. The water in the bottom pot gently heats the ingredients inside the top pot. Double boilers, however, can be expensive and cumbersome to use and store. Our double boiler insert is an excellent, affordable alternative. This 18/10 stainless steel double boiler insert fits most household pots. It is the perfect solution to safely melt waxes, butters and solid oils without worrying about overheating. Thermometer, Stainless Steel This 12” thermometer is made out of stainless steel. It includes an adjustable clip and insulated handle. It measures temperatures ranging from 100-400°F F (40-200°C). It is perfect for keeping an eye on your temperatures when making soap, creams, lotions and candles. 162 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Equipment (continued) Other Equipment Tea Lights Our small tea light candles are available individually or in packages of 10 and 100. Wooden Scoops Our wooden scoops hold approximately 1 tablespoon of salt or other ground/powdered ingredients. The scoop is 3” long. Tie these onto tin tie bags or jars using ribbon or raffia or include them in your gift baskets with salts and milk baths. Linen Wrap Cloth Our cotton linen wrap cloth is great for use in making body wraps. The linen wrap cloth comes in 6” x 12’ rolls. It is perfect for wrapping small sections at a time, and makes it easier to move while you’re wrapped. Unravel the roll into your solution, and wrap your body. Plastic Mud Wrap Sheet Our plastic disposable mud wrap sheets are easy to use. Apply mud to the body and then wrap up with the plastic sheet. The sheets help to keep you warm, and they help to keep drying mud from flaking onto your table, blanket, furniture or other items. Aluminum Pail Opener This aluminum opener makes it easy to open bulk ingredients that come in pails. Score your pail lid along the perforations and then use the pail opener to pry open the lid.
