1 Creams, Ointments, Scrubs & Soaps An ointment is beeswax melted in an oil. You get a lotion, if you add a cup of clean water and blend it slowly together. You need to use an electric blender that the emulsion (mixture of oil and water) stays together and doesn't separate later. You should keep them in a fridge. Our ointments will keep for 3 months, but should be kept as cool as possible. A scrub is made with something rough that takes dead skin cells off. It is usually sugar or salt. We will add some baking soda as well. You should not use it too often, but it makes you feel good. Sesame ointment 1 cup of sesame oil 1 ounce = 28 g beeswax Melt in a water bath (rice cooker). When the beeswax is melted, pour it into clean little jars. Sesame oil is very good for your skin and also treats all kind of muscle and joint pains. You can also add a little into your food. It is an amazing oil, which treats many diseases. Wonder Cream (ointment) 1 cup of sesame oil 1 ounce = 28 g beeswax 2/3 of a small bottle of cinnamon oil ¼ 1/3 of a small bottle of cloves oil Make it the same way as the sesame ointment. Take it off the cooker and add the cinnamon and cloves oil. Cinnamon and cloves are disinfectant and help with swelling. It is great for joint pain, burns and sprained ankles. Mosquito repellant 1 cup of soybean oil 1 ounce = 28 g beeswax 2/3 of small bottle citronella oil Soybean oil is nearly as effective as DEET against mosquitoes. For a better smell I add citronella, which is also a repellant. It works really well. At least as good as the ones from supermarkets and much cheaper and not poisonous.

3 Scrubs: Directions: Wet skin with warm water, use a small amount of scrub and massage onto your skin in circular motion. Rinse off and pat dry, your skin will now feel soft, healthy and radiant. Use 1-3 times per week. Sugar scrub is effective in removing build up of dead skin cells that cause the skin to look flaky, dull and dry. Sugar when mixed with water produces glycolic acid. While the sugar works to lift the cells physically, glycolic acid is dissolving the glue like substance that holds them to the skin. Sugar scrubs are recommended for face and body gentle exfoliation. Salt Scrubs are also an effective exfoliate to the skin removing dead skin cells promoting growth of healthy new cells. Salt scrubs are best used on the body and effective in softening dry rough patches of skin and soothing troubled, inflamed skin. Oatmeal- For centuries oatmeal has been used to soothe, moisturize, and soften dry itchy or irritated skin. Oatmeal has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and will gently exfoliate and cleanse the most sensitive skin. Honey- Natural humectant, antioxidant and anti-microbial there is no wonder honey is in so many skin care and beauty products. Honeys ability to absorb and retain moisture will support the skins ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin leaving it feeling silky and soft.

4 A good shower soap is high in olive oil and has only 50% palm oil. These soaps are very soft and don't last long. They are amazing for the skin. They get even better, if you make them with coconut milk. I couldn't sell them in Mae Sot, people complained. They were used to very bad soap, which is like my washing soap, but with bad chemicals in it. It dries the skin out, but it lasts long and comes in fancy colors. Here is my shower soap recipe. Shower Soap 150 g olive oil 100 g coconut oil 450 g water 130 g lye Oils: Sesame allround medicinal oil for skin, muscle and joints Coconut disinfects, good for hair, makes warm, massage oil Coconut oil when combined with olive and palm oil will produce a nice creamy, fluffy lather in cold processed soap - perfect compliment to skin conditioning olive oil. Coconut should be a compliment to the olive oil and not the main ingredient because it can be drying to the skin if too much is added to the recipe. Palm cooking oil, makes soap hard, Palm oil adds firmness to the soap and will produce a hard longer lasting bar. A natural source of antioxidants rich in palmitic acid, vitamin E, K, and and magnesium. Palm oil is naturally antibacterial and will fight acne bacteria. Olive good for skin, makes soap soft and very rich and moisturizing, massage oil Olive Oil (Olea europaea) contains omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids which provide hydration to the skin. Olive oil is high in antioxidant vitamin E and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. Olive oil allows the skin to breathe and makes for a mild soap. Olive oil alone produces a softer bar of soap, so we add complimentary oils to add lather and hardness to the bar. Glycerin When sodium hydroxide molecules bind with oil molecules during the saponification process soap is created. All cold processed soaps naturally produce about 10% glycerin. Natural glycerin soap is opaque not transparent. Glycerin attracts and retains moisture. Youtube Channel: Center for Children in Need 4

5 How Soap Is Made Synthetic Soap vs. Natural Soap Every bar of soap in the world is made with an acid (fat) and an alkali (lye). The fat can be animal fat or plant based such as olive oil. The alkali most commonly used is sodium hydroxide (lye). oil + lye = soap + glycerine When you mix oil with lye this will create a process called saponification. It takes hours for the saponification process to be finished. It will take cold processed natural soap at about 4 weeks for the soap to be hard enough to use. When properly made there will be no remaining lye in the finished product. Each bar will produce and retain appoximatly 10% natural glycerine. Commercial soap is not soap at all, often it is a detergent not a soap. The glycerine is removed and sold to cosmetics industries. Synthetic chemicals are then added such as synthetic sudsing and sequesturing agents, fragrance, and dyes. Next the detergent will be go through a vacuum drying process then milled in stages with added synthetic lubricants and then pressed into its final shape. Synthetic fragrance is most often the #1 dermal irritant in detergent bars. Even unscented bars often contain a masking fragrance. Synthetic detergent soap (commercial store soap) is made from petro chemicals. Natural soap is biodegradable. Natural Soap is safe for our earth and does not pollute rivers.
