Earlier this year, I begin with an article a bit serious but nevertheless necessary and inevitable: the safety of cosmetic 'home made'. It's been a while since I wanted to write this article so I take it earlier this year to finalize this project!
Certainly the PEG and other components are not all good for skin health and health at all, but a product called natural misused or used in poor conditions can lead to allergic reactions and even skin problems. So
PLAY THE CARD SECURITY ! You will be the winner!
A key point that differentiates the cosmetics industry that house is CONSERVATION! Indeed, for homemade products, conservation varies from 1 to 6 months. What you should know is that the more a product contains water, it is more likely to develop seeds. So in general we can say that a cream can be kept more or less a month, a lotion a month but in the fridge, and oily macerate is 6 months! So
to optimize the preservation of products and thus their quality cosmetics that are manufactured, there are some rules to follow. * Sterilize
flasks, pots, jars: Wash with soap and either pass them in boiling water or pass them alcohol and let dry in open air or heat them in the oven for 30 ° 30 min.
* Handle the least possible and never put your fingers inside to avoid contamination, using for example a clip out of the boiling water bath for example, already, we avoid the burn and then does not fingers inside.
* Clean the work plan and utensils alcohol.
* Always use a natural preservative like grapefruit seed extract (GSE) or Geogard example.
* Refrigerate to increase retention.
* Do not expose to heat and light. * Think
to note the date of manufacture. * Remember to make
always a skin test before use.
And finally, the golden rule: If the odor, color or texture changes, feel free to take! Play the card safety!
So, after this brief summary, I am ready for new recipes!
soon!
