All about coconut and glycerin soaps

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – All about coconut and glycerin soaps

The coconut may very well be one of the most useful and versatile fruits on the planet. In fact, Malay speakers in the South Pacific call it pokok seribu guna, meaning “the tree of a thousand uses.” Among other things, such food, fabric, potting soil and rope (medieval Arab mariners sailed in ships that were literally held together with rope made from coconut fiber), it is the basis of healthful, refreshing coconut soap.

It’s Not What You Think

Despite its name, the coconut is not coco, nor is it a nut; it’s actually a stone fruit, similar to peaches, apricots, avocados and olives. (It got its name from early Portuguese explorers who thought it had to do with a witch named Coco.) Pacific Island peoples used coconut soap for bathing and the hairy husk as a sort of scrubber sponge. The natural oils in coconuts were large part of what made the physical beauty of Polynesian peoples legendary (which ultimately cost Captain Bligh of the HMS Bounty both his ship and his command over two centuries ago – but that’s another story).

Today, those who manufacture soap from coconut often add the fragrance or essence of different flowers and/or herbs, providing a delight for the nose as well.

Glycerin Soap

The first type of commercially-produced soap in the world was glycerin bar soap back in the 1850s. You can recognize this type of soap from its semi-transparent amber color and distinctive scent.

Glycerin is a byproduct of processing fat, whether animal fat such as butter or vegetable fat like olive oil; it is in fact what gives fat a slippery, oily feel. Because of this, glycerin soap is an excellent moisturizer, and beneficial to people who suffer from dry, flaky skin. (It’s worth pointing out that most commercially-produced soaps manufactured by large global corporate conglomerates do not contain this ingredient; it’s left out as a cost-cutting measure, but its absence causes the skin to become dry and often irritated.)

There are several benefits to bathing with glycerin soap, not the least of which is its mild and therapeutic moisturizing properties. It also dissolves in water much more easily than other kinds of soaps, washing off quickly and completely without leaving an unpleasant film on your skin.

Often, floral and herbal essences are added to glycerin bar soap, which gives it not only a pleasing scent but an attractive appearance as well. Such natural soaps are an excellent choice for those who feel that bath time should be a feast for all the senses.

How to Make Your Own Therapeutic Massage Oils

By: Gal Rubin

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – How to Make Your Own Therapeutic Massage Oils

There are many good base oils and blended massage oils on the market these days. However they may not be ideal for individual skin types and conditions which require special blends of oils. Tailor made massage oils are more like prescriptions than just simple lubricants.

Massage oils are derived from either mineral oils (like Vaseline or Paraffin) or vegetable oils which are sourced from natural (preferably organic derivatives).

A lot of massage products contain mineral oils. They are synthetic, have a long shelf life, give good lubrication but can be very bad for the skin and body. They can create a thin film on the surface of the skin, blocking the pores and preventing the skin from functioning normally. Mineral oils do not contain any vitamins and disturb or even stop the skin from being able to absorb fat soluble vitamins. They are detrimental to the skin with long-term use. Mineral oils appear to moisturize the skin but in reality they suppress its normal, healthy functioning. The skin then becomes ‘dependent’ on constant applications of mineral oil which, in turn, result in a deterioration of the skin’s character and ability to keep itself healthy.

Vegetable fats and oils are readily absorbed by the skin and are used to nourish (give energy to) the skin / body. They are needed to create new cells and for other important processes in the body. Most vegetable oils contain vitamins which are necessary for the skin (such as pro A, D and E). They can stimulate the skin to function better and create better circulation. They soften the skin and make it pliable, helping it to retain its own moisture more effectively. Vegetable oils contain the essential fatty acids but can go rancid after a short time.

As a general guide, never use saturated fatty acids on people with oily skin or large pores as the pores can be easily blocked and enlarged. Coconut butter, Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Lard and Macadamia nut oil contain high levels of saturated fatty acids and should not be used for this skin type.

They are however good for other skin conditions, giving ‘body’ to the massage oil and enhancing the lubrication. They also keep well for a relatively long time extending the shelf life of your products.

Vegetable oils with a lot of monounsaturated fatty acids like Olive Oil, Avocado and Sweet almond oil provide good lubrication, keep well and can nourish the skin.

Jojoba is an important ingredient in a massage blend as you can massage for a long time with it. It is often known as a liquid wax and is very protective on the skin. However it should never be used on its own because it does not give nourishment for the skin. It can keep for up to 5 years before it goes rancid.

The third group of fatty acids that are used are Polyunsaturated fatty acids. These are often known as essential fatty acids as a lack of them can lead to rashes, eczema and dry skin. They act like a vitamin for the skin. Among these are Linoleic and Linolenic acid. They need to be combined with e-vitamin oil to prevent them from going rancid quickly. They are thin liquids which are quickly absorbed by the skin. They are drier than other fatty acids and reduce the size of skin pores. These are very good for people with oily skin and large pores but can be used with good results on all other skin conditions.

Vegetable oils which contain a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids are Sunflower oil, Borage oil (Starflower), Evening Primrose, Grape Seed and Thistle Oil which is less expensive and of excellent quality. As a rule, never buy Borage or Evening Primrose oil without containing at least 0.5% E-vitamin oil, otherwise it will go rancid within 6 months.

Recipes for Massage Oils

Dry Skin Massage Oil 10 g Coconut Butter
30 ml Olive Oil
20 ml Sweet Almond Oil
15 ml Jojoba Oil
5 ml Thistle Oil
2 ml E-Vitamin oil (100%)
17 ml Apricot Oil
Essential Oils as required

Melt the Coconut Butter in a bain marie and then add the Vegetable Oils. Finally add the E-vitamin oil and essential oils. Mature Skin Massage Oil 40 ml Macadamia Nut Oil
20 ml Apricot Oil
15 ml Thistle Oil
10 ml Borage Oil
13 ml Jojoba Oil
2 ml E-Vitamin Oil (100%)
Essential Oils as required

The classical vegetable oil for mature and dehydrated skin is Macadamia Nut oil. We use Borage Oil instead of Evening Primrose Oil as it contains double the amount of GLA (20 -24%). Massage Oil for Oily Skin and/or Acne 50 ml Thistle Oil
20 ml Jojoba Oil
10 ml Avocado Oil
15 ml Borage Oil
3 ml E-vitamin Oil (100%)
2 ml A-vitamin Palmitate (very good for acne)
Essential Oils as required Massage Oil for Sensitive Skin 50 ml Apricot Kernel Oil
10 ml Sesame Oil
25 ml Peach Kernel Oil
5 ml Rosehip Oil
8 ml Shea butter Oil
2 ml E-vitamin Oil (100%)
Essential Oils

Apricot Kernel, Peach Kernel and Rosehip Oil are classic vegetable oils for sensitive skin.
We never use Wheat germ Oil in massage oil products because it goes rancid quickly. We use food-grade E-vitamin oil instead which will keep the oil fresh for 1.5 – 2 years.
