How to produce natural cosmetics Bashny.Net

I always find it difficult to choose cosmetics for the face. On the one hand, my skin is oily, prone to inflammation. On the other — and the skin with age, wrinkles appear and want to avoid as long as possible. The majority of cosmetics usually are put before a choice — either fight acne or wrinkles.

About a month ago I tried natural cosmetics, and since then she got hooked. She turned out to be not just a better and "more humane", but also more effective most well-known remedy that I know. After about a week of use the skin became more elastic and clean, freshened considerably.

I wonder at what expense?





The composition of natural cosmetics

The main difference between natural skincare products from the rest — it does not contain oil products, substances of animal origin, artificial colors, preservatives, fragrances and other chemicals. It includes only natural ingredients. As a rule, it extracts (extracts) medicinal plants, essential and vegetable oils, bee products. The maximum amount of nutrients — and about 300 found in essential oils.

Manufacturers of natural cosmetics have their own standards. Their products must contain at least 95% natural ingredients. Of these, at least 10% must be grown on certified organic farms and plantations. Shelf life of natural cosmetics — no more than a year. With the exception of masks, scrubs, salts, Soaps.

 

Essential oil



The word "aether" (Αἰθήρ) came to us from the Greek language, it can be translated as "upper air". The Greeks believed that the ether fills the space of heaven and in it the gods live.

The essential oil got its name due to the volatility, ability to evaporate quickly. However, the "oils" in the truest sense of the word can not call them. Of course, they are greasy to touch and insoluble in water, but it does not belong to the class of "oil" chemical compounds — fats. If on a sheet of paper to put a drop of essential oil, it will evaporate within a few hours, leaving no trace. But on the skin in its pure form it is not necessary to drip — may be left with a burn.

Essential oils are complex organic compounds. Composed primarily of terpenes, esters, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes and aromatic hydrocarbons. They are absorbed faster than fat, can penetrate deeply into the body and have the ability to heal the human body from the inside.

About the benefits of essential oils a lot to say. In a nutshell: they have antiseptic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and even healing properties. Many of them, in addition, are powerful antioxidants that strengthen the immune system and slow the aging process. Why use cosmetics with these oils is useful for all skin types — dry, oily, young or aging. Sometimes the same tool can benefit women of different ages, and it will be effective for each. And yet, cosmetics with essential oils to choose the best, based on your features.

Essential oils are formed in all parts of the plants. Their greatest concentration is in the leaves, flowers, buds, fruits, roots. They are readily soluble in alcohols, fats and other organic compounds. These properties are often used in the production of essential oils. Basic methods — distillation, cold pressing, maceration (absorption), anflerazh (insistence).

 

How to distinguish natural essential oil from synthetic

None of the artificially created drugs can not be compared with essential oils for richness of composition, breadth of action and absence of side effects. If the natural essential oil contains up to 300 components, synthetic – 6. Moreover, artificial essential oils are best not used at all. They are not just useless, but can cause harm.

Example. Compare natural oil of vanilla and synthetic vanillin. Vanillin increases irritability, hunger, headaches. Natural vanilla relieves tension, headaches, creates a feeling of fullness. As you can see, their properties are opposite.

How to distinguish natural essential oil from synthetic

• Have essential oils with the passage of time changes the smell. If you drop it on the paper, the smell will change after 15 minutes. In two hours it will once again smell different, and so on.

 

• After the natural essential oil does not remain oily spots, it disappears completely in a few hours. But the color can stay. For example, after citrus essential oils remain orange spots, but they are not fat.

 

• Price. To obtain a kilogram of rose oil, it is necessary to collect and process four tons of petals. Therefore, 10 ml of rose oil can cost 200 rubles. Each natural oil has its own price. There are cheap — from citrus fruits and coniferous plants, is more expensive — for example, chamomile, because to obtain this oil it is necessary to process a lot of raw materials. Well, if the oil price is the same — most likely, it is a fake.

 First aid kit of essential oils



Lavender.

This is the only oil that can be applied on skin in its pure form. Other essential oils can burn. Lavender, on the other hand, heals burns and wounds, has disinfectant properties. In addition, it soothes, relieves stress, helps me sleep.

 

The tea tree.

In Russia it is customary to treat the common cold. However, in addition, tea tree has antibacterial properties.

 

Citronella.

If you're in his car going on a long trip, bring a citronella. It improves concentration and calms. Behind the wheel just will not sleep. No wonder the citronella called "oil truckers".

 

Cinnamon.

If you go on vacation to a country where a high probability of catching a stomach bug, then cinnamon will be indispensable. If you have problems with a chair have to put a drop of oil of cinnamon on sugar. This is a very strong disinfectant.

 

 

Vegetable oil

Since essential oils should not be applied on skin in its pure form, they are added to vegetable oil (base). Vegetable oil is also composed of organic compounds themselves have strong therapeutic properties. They consist of many minerals and vitamins. They also help the essential oils quickly penetrate through the skin into the blood vessels and tissue.

Vegetable oils are solid and liquid.

• Solid vegetable oil or butter used in the production of natural creams, handmade soap, bath scrubs, lip balms.
• Liquid — for the preparation of shampoos and liquid soap based on them also make aromastase for massage.

 Extracts or extracts

In Latin means extraho to draw out, to extract. Extracts (extracts) are concentrated preparations, which is prepared from dried medicinal plants and raw materials of animal origin. The solvent (extractant), as a rule, use ethyl alcohol (70%), water, oil, esters, glycerine. Extracts also retain the maximum amount of useful substances contained in plants.

The extracts are divided into:

• Liquid. They are infusing raw materials in an alcohol or water-alcohol solution at a ratio of 1:1. That is, one part of extract by weight or volume equal to one-half of the original dried material.

 

• Thick. Contain up to 25% of the fluid, the rest of the dry residue. Have a thick dark mass.

 

• Dry extracts is loose powders. Contain only 5% moisture.

 

To extract and rank as concentrated tinctures.

 How to produce natural cosmetics

1. Raw materials — this is important. We have extracts of plants of the Russian, because we produce cosmetics for Russian women, considering the climate and natural environment. About the extracts and their compatibility us advises Russian herbalists with extensive experience. We also use some domestic vegetable oils — sunflower, rapeseed, mustard. And essential and part of the vegetable oils we purchase from foreign vendors with organic certification in France and in Germany.

About the combination of essential oils gives us advice aromatherapist from France. With us also has a team of foreign experts. They recommend us which components to use to funds long kept — because our cosmetics do not contain preservatives, even acids.

We first only miscible vegetable oil, they have to give the soap hardness and was. The extracts and essential oils are added when the soap has cooked, they retain their useful properties. Because of this, when you use soap, the skin is moisturized.
