Essential Therapeutics Essential Oil Lime 50ml

CAUTION: Do not ingest Keep out of reach of children A patch test is always recommended prior to using a new product.

It is suitable for all types of cleansing needs – baths, showers and on – and is suitable for all skin types and ages. Castile Soap also serves as an excellent shampoo. Just remember to use a slightly acid rinse after shampooing, as any minerals in ‘hard’ tap water can leave a slight soap film on the hair after rinsing. A teaspoon or more of vinegar or lemon juice in 100mL of water makes an effective rinse. Add essential oils as desired.

A blend of Roman Chamomile, Damask Rose and True Lavender hydrosols.

As a refreshing mist spray: On the face: As an uplifting facial toner, make-up fixative or after shave. On the hair: To renew body and lustre and to impart a beautiful but subtle fragrance. On the body: To refresh, hydrate, and cool as well as to lightly fragrance the skin with these natural perfumes. In facial masques: Aromatic hydrosols are an excellent addition to active clay masques, imparting their balancing, therapeutic properties to the treatment.

Amigel & Laponite Gel - Which gel is better to use?  It is often just a matter of personal preference. Amigel will accept a higher amount of additional ingredients, if this is required. It can also be thinned down to a more water-like consistency. Amigel also has a relatively ‘slippery’ feel on the skin. Laponite creates a stiffer gel with a nice “astringent” feel when applied. If 15% or less of additional ingredients are to be added, Laponite is a fine choice. Try experimenting with both gels! Amigel can be diluted to an almost water-like consistency. At a concentration of only 0.2% (that would be one part Amigel to nine parts water), up to 10% of additional ingredients can be added, to create a sprayable or pumpable preparation. Or, you can create a pumpable ‘serum’ preparation by using a 1% concentration of Amigel (this would be one part Amigel to one part water). In making your own creams and lotions, Amigel can be added to help stabilise and emulsify oily ingredients, and gives a beautiful “skin feel” to your creams as well.
