Customer Testimonials “I wanted to pass along to you that I am completely thrilled with the service and product that I have received from your company. I ordered $350.00 worth of supplies on 6/4 and received it on 6/7. I think it is great that you are so fast. Also, the supplies that I received were all better than I anticipated. More often than not, when you order something by mail or internet, it does not quite live up to expectations. I am pleasantly surprised that your company has exceeded my expectations.” — LynnMarie Whitt Newark, DE “I really feel that your company is the best that I have dealt with as far as service, quality and price. It means a great deal to me to be able to buy just a small quantity to experiment with and then to save on larger quantities when I have perfected my recipe. I always find your oils superior in quality and freshness to others I have purchased elsewhere.” — Carole Wade Bee Soft & Natural Bolivar, MO “Because of your kindness and exceptional customer service, you can be sure I will continue to do a great deal of business with you. I have passed this company on to others in my profession and told them how pleased, impressed and happy I am with you all there. Keep up the wonderful job and I am positive you will go far in life. You’re the best!!” — Laura Mohr RMT, CST Cedar Creek, TX “Your prices are better on just about everything I need (not everything, but most), and I love that there is no minimum order. I also love the resource of being able to e-mail you and ask questions about the best way to use your products. I’d like to expand into offering all natural body care stuff, but sometimes I have questions. I’ve been telling anybody who could benefit about this site - it’s amazing. Just keep up the good work.” — Jessica McGuinty Berkeley, CA “I am a beginner soap-maker, and also interested in lotion-making; and have spent countless hours online looking at different suppliers. Being “new to the scene” it was overwhelming to do so much searching. But when I found your Web site, I was able to find everything I was looking for easily, and was impressed at your prices and the fact that you also have products available in small amounts. I received my order quickly, and it was so carefully packed. Also, I was very impressed with your print catalog - so much great information all in one place. So, I just wanted to say Thank You!” — Chris Taher Grand Rapids, MI “I just received my first order with you, today!!! I am really pleased, not only with the quality of your products, but with the generosity of your company. When I ordered my free samples, I figured I would be getting the little vials that perfumes come in....not 1/4oz!!!!! THANK YOU.” — Amanda Carlson Boston, MA We greatly appreciate all the compliments and positive feedback that we receive from our valued customers.

From Nature With Love TM P.O. Box 201, Hawleyville, CT 06440 Telephone: (800) 520-2060 • In Connecticut: (203) 270-9999 Fax: (203) 270-0555 • E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Monday Through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. E.T. www.fromnaturewithlove.com 10 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Our Policies We believe that hidden company policies often lead to displeased customers. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Our policies apply to all orders regardless of which method you choose to place your order. Thank you for understanding that no exceptions can be made. Placing Your Order You may place your order by visiting www.fromnaturewithlove.com, by calling (800) 520-2060, by faxing your order to (203) 270-0555, or by e-mailing it to [email protected]. We encourage placing your order via our Web site because online orders are processed faster and your online orders are eligible for discounts that cannot be offered by telephone, fax or e-mail. Please refer to the previous section entitled Placing an Order for additional important information. In an effort to expedite order processing time, we have automated many of our order processes. We cannot make any changes to an order once it is finalized. Please check your order carefully before you finalize it. Pricing Due to market fluctuations, prices are subject to change without notice. We have no minimum order requirements. Our pricing structure is designed to cater to large businesses, hobbyists and everyone in between. In order to receive the most competitive, wholesale level pricing, purchase the largest listed product quantity. If you are interested in receiving pricing on quantities larger than those listed in our catalog, please contact [email protected]. Connecticut and New York Residents We must charge sales tax to Connecticut and New York businesses and residents who have not filed the appropriate resale certificate with us within the current year. If your order is being delivered in the state of Connecticut or New York and you have a valid business tax ID number, please fax a copy of your resale certificate within 2 hours after placing your order. Once you have faxed us your resale certificate, we will keep it on file for future orders for the duration of the year. Our fax number is (203) 270-0555. We cannot refund sales tax on orders once they have been charged. NY businesses should use the New York Resale Certificate ST120. Connecticut businesses should use the Connecticut Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate. For your convenience, From Nature With Love offers both resale certificates via www.fromnaturewithlove.com. PayPal Please be aware that payments made though PayPal may occasionally take a few days to clear. We have discovered that their system sometimes goes down. This can prevent us from confirming the receipt of payment. We are not responsible for any delays in processing orders paid for through PayPal. Orders cannot be shipped until your payment clears. Backorders Sometimes a product will be available at the time you place your order, but then become backordered by the time your order is received at the warehouse. In these rare instances, your credit card may have already been billed for it. If an item becomes backordered after your invoice is processed, you will receive a credit as soon as the warehouse notifies us of the backorder. If the backordered item is received within a few days and amount is more than $25, we will ship the merchandise once it arrives. If the amount is less than $25 or if the item is not expected to arrive within a short period of time, we will credit your credit card for the item. Cancellations Cancelled orders will be subject to a restocking fee of 15% or $5, whichever is higher. The restocking fee on cancelled Rush/ UPS NextDay/UPS 2 Day/UPS 3 Day orders is 25% or a minimum of $10 plus the Rush fee. Any Preferred Customer Program points used will be lost if an order is cancelled. We will hold future orders if you have a pending order that has not been paid for or cancelled. Payments are applied to outstanding balances in the order that they were incurred. (800) 520-2060 11 Our Policies (continued) Shipping & Handling Most orders ship within 24-48 business hours. Holiday shipping delays and delays due to extreme weather conditions or other catastrophes will be posted on our Web site. Shipping fees are calculated based on the actual weight of the merchandise. Because of the weight of packaging materials, the minimum shipping weight is 2 pounds. A $2-5 handling fee is charged on most orders (the fee might be higher on exceptionally large orders). A $2 handling fee is charged if a change is made to an order that is scheduled to go out that day. You may request special in-house expedited processing for an additional $5. Most orders are shipped via UPS Ground within 24-48 hours. Faster service is available upon request. All international orders are shipped via UPS Worldwide. Orders going to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are shipped via UPS 2 Day. We do not ship via USPS or via other carriers. The customer is responsible for any additional fees charged by UPS for address corrections. UPS charges this fee when packages are missing suite numbers, contain typos including zip code errors, or contain any other incorrect information that is supplied by the customer within the “Ship To” area of our order form. UPS also charges for address changes such as dropping off your package at any address other than the one provided in the “Ship To” area of the order form. The UPS address correction fee is $5 per box. We reserve the right to charge for these fees as soon as we are notified of them. Sorry, we are not able to ship via C.O.D. We cannot ship to post office boxes, to APO/FPO addresses, or via postal services within the US or international addresses. We suggest you have your order shipped to a friend or relative who can then forward it on to you. We apologize for the inconvenience. All orders require your signature upon package delivery. Customers are responsible for shipping and handling charges if a package is returned because no one was available to accept it. If you make a special request to have UPS leave your package without signature, we will place the request on the box however we CANNOT guarantee that UPS will comply. Only they can decide if they feel it is safe to leave a package at your location as they will ultimately be responsible if the package gets stolen or misplaced. If this may be a problem, please give us an address where someone will be home to receive the package for you. When ordering online, the shipping amount shown during checkout is only an estimated charge generated by the UPS online system. The system is unable to determine and account for multiple boxes and certain surcharges. Therefore, your shipping charges may be higher than the online estimation due to multiple boxing, extra UPS handling charges and UPS Rural Route Surcharges. In many cases, it is not possible to accurately confirm shipping charges without having packed/shipped your order. We reserve the right to charge the full shipping amount to your credit card once the order has been shipped. This will show up as a second charge on your credit card. International customers are responsible for any and all customs duties, taxes and brokerage fees that the package may incur. Returns There are absolutely no unauthorized returns because we cannot guarantee the purity of our merchandise or resell it once it has left our warehouse. We are not able to issue credit on unauthorized returns, and merchandise returned without authorization will be discarded. We are not able to make exceptions to this policy. In the event that we make an error, we will of course gladly authorize the return of incorrect or defective merchandise and pay for the return shipping costs. Most of our products such as butters, oils, essential oils, herbs & hydrosols, come from natural sources. They are subject to a normal range of variations in color, texture, odor, etc. These variations can be due to seasonal changes such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight and other variables. These differences from batch to batch are normal and are not regarded as defects in the product quality. We cannot accept returns due to these variations because we cannot resell the product once it has left our facility. If you know that product variations may affect your production/formulation, please purchase a small quantity first and confirm that your larger order will be from the same batch. Our fragrance oils reflect only a fraction of the infinite number of possible formulations that can be created. Fragrance oils can vary between suppliers, and our version of a fragrance may differ significantly from another suppliers’ version, or from what you were expecting. Since we do not accept returns on fragrance oils or other ingredients, we offer our products in very small sizes that are useful for testing purposes. We urge you to take advantage of our small quantity sizes and no minimum order restrictions to test our ingredients. 12 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Our Policies (continued) If you have received a return authorization, please return your order directly to our warehouse address: Returns From Nature With Love 890 Garrison Avenue Bronx, NY 10474 Damage Claims Please inspect packages upon arrival. You must report any damages, missing items or missing boxes to both UPS and From Nature With Love within 3 days of receiving your order.

If you notice any damaged items upon unpacking the order, leave the box and its contents as is, save all of the packaging material, contact UPS to arrange an inspection of your package, and contact us so that we may process your claim. We cannot replace damaged merchandise unless the package has been inspected by UPS. Your replacement will be shipped once we have been issued a claim number from UPS.

(800) 520-2060 13 Recipes The following pages contain over 60 recipes that can be used as an excellent source of inspiration for creating your own beautiful handcrafted products. Each recipe utilizes ingredients that we carry as well as ingredients that are readily available from other common sources. For additional free recipes submitted by our valued customers, we invite you to visit From Nature With Love’s online Recipe Database: http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/recipe. Thank you for understanding that the recipes on the following pages are for informational purposes only. They are intended to be a guide and provide a source of inspiration for crafting your own formulations and recipes. We are not able to guarantee the results that you will receive because various techniques and differences in measuring procedures will affect the results. Basic Air Freshener Recipe Basic Bath Salt Recipe • 30-40 drops Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil • Equal Amount of Polysorbate 20 (about 30-40 drops) • 2 oz. Distilled Water and 2 oz. of 100 Proof Vodka (4 oz. Distilled Water May Be Used Instead) • • • • • Fill a 4 oz. spray bottle with your choice of either 2 oz. of distilled water and 2 oz. of vodka or 4 oz. of distilled water. The vodka is used because it helps to “extend” the aroma of the essential or fragrance oils and helps to preserve your air freshener. If necessary, use slightly less than 4 oz. total of water and vodka so that there is headroom in the bottle for you to shake your blend well. Combine your selection of essential or fragrance oils with an equal amount of Polysorbate 20. Essential and fragrance oils vary in strength, so you may need to experiment with the number of drops to use. Add the solubilized fragrance to the water/alcohol mixture. Mist lightly in the room. Be careful not to allow the mist to fall onto furniture or uncovered food. Use any combination of sea salt and/or Dead Sea salt in your choice of grain sizes and place in a bowl. Mixing different grain sizes together lends visual interest. If coloring your bath salts, add either a very small pinch of mica powder or FD&C liquid dye drop by drop (3-6 drops should be sufficient) until you achieve a consistent but soft color. Be careful not to use too much colorant as it can transfer to your skin at bath time. In a separate bowl, add your essential oil or fragrance oil to 1 oz. of dendritic salt and mix well. Dendritic salt is optional but helps to discourage clumping and helps hold the fragrance. Add the dendritic salts to the bowl that contains your other salts and mix. To add moisturizing properties to the salts, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the salts and mix well. Experiment by adding herbs and milk powders. Package your bath salt into a jar, tin tie bag or cello bag (see our Packaging section). Basic Balm Recipe Basic Body Mist Recipe • • • • • • • • • • 1 Part Beeswax or Hydrogenated Jojoba MP56 1 Part Hard Vegetable Butter (such as Cocoa, Shea, Illipe or Mango) 1 Part Sunflower Oil or Oil Blend T-50 Vitamin E or Rosemary Oil Extract (optional) Essential or Fragrance Oil (optional) Mica to Color (optional) Melt the butter and oils in a double boiler. Stir in the mica powder and then remove from the heat. After cooling slightly, add your essential or fragrance oil and stir well. Pour the mixture into jars or into our deodorant tubes to make lotion bars. Experiment using other butters, vegetable oils or herbal infused oils. To adjust the hardness or softness of this balm for your particular use, add more oil to soften the balm. Add more beeswax or jojoba MP56 to harden it. Adding too much beeswax will make it waxy. To make an herbal balm, infuse your oil with herbs first. Add .5% T-50 Vitamin E oil or Rosemary Oil Extract to the vegetable oils to prevent rancidity. 14 2 lbs. of Sea Salt and/or Dead Sea Salt (approximately 2 cups) 1 teaspoon Fractionated Coconut Oil or Other Vegetable Oil (optional) Mica or FD&C Dye as Colorant (optional) 10-14 drops Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil (optional) 1 oz. Dendritic Salt (optional but recommended if fragrancing your bath salts) 3 oz. Hydrosol 1 oz. 100 Proof Vodka 10-20 Drops Essential Oil Equal Amount of Polysorbate 20 (about 10-20 drops) Combine the Polysorbate 20 and Essential Oil in a 4 oz. bottle. Add the hydrosol and vodka. The vodka is used because it helps to “extend” the aroma of the essential oils. If necessary, use slightly less than 4 oz. total of hydrosol and vodka so that there is headroom in the bottle for you to shake your blend well. Experiment with different hydrosols and essential oils to create body mists with different aromas and therapeutic benefits. www.fromnaturewithlove.com Recipes (continued) Basic Clay Facial Mask Basic Milk Bath • • • • • 1 cup Goat’s Milk Powder or Buttermilk Powder (or a combination of both) • 1/4 - 1/2 cup Powdered Herbs (optional) • 1/2 cup Colloidal Oatmeal, Fine (optional) • 10 drops Essential Oil (optional) or use Fragrance Oil 2-3 oz. Cosmetic Clay 1-2 oz. Powdered Herbs Water or Hydrosol 1-2 drops Essential Oil added at the time of application (optional) Choose a cosmetic clay and herbs that are suitable for your skin type. Citrus peel powders add astringency, rose petal powder adds fragrance, and neem powder is anti-bacterial. Other ingredients that can be added are milk powders, honey powder, oatmeal and sea vegetables. Mix the powdered ingredients to make 4 oz. of dry clay facial and store in a 4 oz. jar. Clay facial masks should not be stored pre-mixed with the wetting agent. To use, add approximately 1/2 oz. of the dry clay facial herb blend to a small bowl and mix enough warm water or hydrosol to make a paste. Add a drop or 2 of essential oil if desired. Apply to the skin in a gentle circular motion, and leave it to dry for about 15-20 minutes. Wash off with warm water. If the skin feels tight, a light oil such as camelina can be applied afterwards. Experiment with other wetting agents. Strawberry puree will act like an alpha-hydroxy. Cucumber puree cools the skin, yogurt cools and softens the skin, and milk removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. To prevent the clogging of your drain, be sure to only include powdered ingredients. If desired, add 10 drops of essential oil and mix well. Package in salt jars, apothecary jars, acetate rounds, salt tubes, tin tie bags or cello bags. Use as desired in a hot tubful of water. Experiment with other additives such as honey powder, clays or Dead Sea salt powder. Basic Lip Balm Basic Salt Scrub • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 1/2 oz. Beeswax Pellets 1 oz. Shea Butter 1/2 oz. Sunflower Oil 1 1/2 oz. Jojoba 1/2 oz. Vitamin E Oil 1/2 oz. T-50 Vitamin E Oil 1/4 oz. - 1/2 oz. Flavor Oil Mica Powder (Use a mica powder approved for use on the lips) Thermometer Gently heat the beeswax, shea butter and vegetable oils in a double boiler until the shea butter and beeswax have melted, stirring frequently. The mixture should reach 175 degrees and should be allowed to remain at that temperature for 25 minutes. Add the T-50 Vitamin E Oil. Mix well. Add 1/4 oz.-1/2 oz. flavor oil. For color, add a very small pinch of mica powder. Stir until well blended. Pour the balm into small lip balm jars or tubes. Try to avoid pouring out any of the mica powder that has settled at the bottom of the pot. As the balm cools, the mixture will “sink” towards the center of each tube. Refill the tubes with more of the mixture. If it seems too dry or waxy for you, melt it down again and add a few more drops of vegetable oil. If it’s too soft, melt it down, and add a little bit more wax or butter. Experiment by trying different vegetable oil combinations. 1 cup Sea Salt, Fine or Dead Sea Salt, Fine 1/4-1/2 cup Fractionated Coconut Oil or Other Vegetable Oil 1/2 cup Liquid Castille Soap 1/4 teaspoon T-50 Vitamin E Oil 10-15 drops Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil (optional) Liquid Dye (optional) If you are coloring the scrub, mix your dye and salt first stirring vigorously to distribute the dye. Then mix in the vegetable oil and the liquid castille soap and mix well. Add the T-50 Vitamin E Oil and essential oil or fragrance oil and mix well.

Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil Liquid Dye Plastic Molds Cut your chosen soap base into cubes using the perforated grid on the block as a guideline. Melt the soap cubes in a double boiler. Stir frequently until they have melted. Add the dye drop by drop until you get the desired color. You may experiment by adding different color additives, clays, herbs or other additives (except for solid ingredients and fragrance), and stir until well incorporated. Immediately remove your melted soap from the stove and let it cool. Stir the soap frequently as it cools. Add your desired fragrance, and stir well. After the soap has cooled slightly, it can be poured into plastic molds. Your soap should be ready to un-mold within 2 hours. If it’s difficult to pop the soap out, place the tray in the freezer for 20 minutes. The soap should pop out easily. (800) 520-2060 1 cup Demerara, Turbinado or Brown Sugar 1/4 cup Vegetable Glycerin 1/4 cup Fractionated Coconut Oil or Other Vegetable Oil 1/4 teaspoon T-50 Vitamin E Oil 10-15 drops Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil (optional) Add the sugar to a bowl and then mix in the glycerin, vegetable oil and T-50 Vitamin E oil.

The ingredient amounts may be adjusted to achieve the desired consistency. Package in a glass or PET jar. 15 Recipes (continued) Bath Bombs Body Powder • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 cup Baking Soda 1/2 cup Citric Acid 1/2 cup Corn Starch 3 tablespoons Sunflower Oil 1/2 tablespoon Water 1 1/2 teaspoons Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil Liquid Dye 1/2 teaspoon Borax Small molds or tart tins (optional) Combine all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, except for the borax. Add the dye drop by drop and stir vigorously to distribute the dye. Add the remaining ingredients to a small bowl, and mix well. Add the liquid ingredients slowly, drop by drop to the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing constantly. Adding the liquid ingredients too quickly will cause the mixture to fizz now instead of at bath time. Press the mixture into molds as tightly as you can or use your fingers to mold them tightly into natural shapes. Let the bombs dry for at least 24 hours. The tins need to be placed in the freezer for 20 minutes to make it easier to pop the bombs out. Package in pretty jars or in tin tie bags to keep them dry. Add 1-3 bombs (depending on the size that you made) to your bath and watch them fizz. 1/3 cup Cornstarch 1/3 cup Arrowroot Powder 1/3 cup Oat Starch Pinch Mica Powder (optional) Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil (optional) Powder Sifter or Jar In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. If color is desired, add a pinch of mica powder and mix well. Be careful not to add too much mica powder or it will color the skin. Add the essential or fragrance oil and mix well. Essential and fragrance oils vary in strength, so you may need to experiment with the number of drops to use. Spoon the powder into an apothecary jar, one of our larger plastic jars, or in a seamless silver tin. If you would like to pour the powder into one of our powder sifters, use the following instructions: Pour the powder into a Ziploc bag and seal the bag. Cut a small corner of the bag to create a “spout,” and use the spout to pour the powder into the powder sifter tube. Then, insert the bottom plastic plug into the sifter tube. Be careful not to inhale the powders. Bath Tea Calming Bath Tea • Your Choice of Herbs • Muslin Bags or Heat-Sealable Tea Bags • • • • • • • • • Combine your desired selection of herbs in a bowl. Once mixed, add them to muslin bags or heat-sealable tea bags (available within the Packaging section). Heat-Sealable tea bags can be closed using a hot iron.

The results are messy and the drain could clog. 16 Body Glitter Carpet Deodorizer • Body Glitter Gel Base • Cosmetic Glitter • Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil (optional) • 2 lbs. Baking Soda • 1 teaspoon Essential Oil or Fragrance Oil • 3-4 Powder Sifters (see our Packaging section) This recipe is easy to make regardless of how much body glitter that you would like to make at a time. Put the body glitter gel base in a bowl. Sprinkle some cosmetic glitter onto the gel and mix well. Repeat until you are pleased with the amount of glitter in the gel. Essential oil or fragrance oil can be mixed in well to add fragrance. We recommend the use of lip balm jars or other small clear jars for packaging. Add the baking soda to a large mixing container, preferably with a pouring spout and add your choice of essential oil or fragrance oil. Essential and fragrance oils vary in strength, so you may need to experiment with the amount to use. Mix the oil thoroughly into the powder. Pour the deodorizer into the powder sifter tubes. Insert the bottom plastic plugs into the sifter tubes. The number of powder sifters that this recipe makes depends somewhat on how full you like to fill the power sifters. Use the deodorizer as you would any powdered commercial carpet deodorizer. www.fromnaturewithlove.com Recipes (continued) Christmas Potpourri Eczema Oil Blend • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 Part Babu Cut Red 1 Part Screw Pods Green 1 Part Cedar Rose Gold 1 Part Milo Berry White or Natural 1 Part Angel Wings Natural 1 Part Star Flowers Natural Accent with Pine Cones Spirit of Christmas Candle Fragrance Oil (or your choice of fragrance) 1 2 1 2 2 oz. oz. oz. oz. oz.

The oil should just cover the top of the herbs. Heat very gently. Allow to heat gently for two hours, stirring every 10-15 minutes. After two hours, carefully strain the oil using the cheesecloth. Strain the oil at least twice. If any herbs remain in the infused oil, the oil can go rancid. Add T-50 Vitamin E Oil to help extend the shelf life of the infused oil. Bottle in dark glass bottles. By repeating the herbal infusion using a new batch of herbs, you can make this a double-strength infusion. Add approx. 2 cups of fresh, cut herbs or approx. 1 cup of dried herbs to a mason jar. Use less if needed so that there is enough room to completely cover the herbs with vodka. Fill the jar with vodka, leaving enough room to allow adequate shaking of the jar. Be sure to completely cover the herbs. Shake the jar well. Remove the lid and check to make sure that the vodka is still covering the herbs. If not, add more. Store for 3 weeks. Shake it at least 4 times a week. After 3 weeks, strain the plant material from the jar using cheesecloth. The cheesecloth can be held in place around the top of the jar by using a rubber band. Then, add more fresh or dried herb to the tincture and repeat for a final 3 weeks. After six weeks has passed, strain the tincture again using cheesecloth. The tincture is now ready to use in your formulations. It can be stored in clean mason jars. As an alternate way to make the tincture, you can keep the original herbs in the tincture for the full six weeks, but it may not be as concentrated.

Shea butter can crystallize and become “gritty” if not properly heated. To avoid crystallization, use a candy thermometer and allow the temperature to reach 175°. Keep the temperature of the shea butter consistently above 175° for at least 20 minutes. Afterwards, remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. As the butter cools, add the essential or fragrance oil and whip it using a powerful mixer at high speed until it is completely cooled and becomes the consistency of whipped cream. .5% T-50 Vitamin E oil can be added to naturally preserve your whipped butter. This process can take a long time, so it is best to use a stand mixer. Alternately, good results have also been accomplished by whipping softened butter without heating. Results will vary depending on the type and power of your mixer. www.fromnaturewithlove.com Vegetable Oils From Nature With Love carries an extensive range of vegetable oils from around the globe.

Use it at 1-5% in your formulations for skin and hair care. INCI: Avena Sativa (Oat) Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Olive (Extra Virgin Organic* and Grade A Conventional) Olive oil is high in oleic acid and is therefore a good skin cell regenerator. It can be used in soaps, creams, balms, body butters, herbal infusions and hair preparations. Olive oil attracts external moisture to the skin and still allows normal functions of the skin to take place (sweating, shedding of dead skin and releasing sebum). It is useful as a massage oil for rheumatic conditions and as a treatment for inflamed skin. Warm it over a double boiler with dried herbs to produce herbal infusions that can be used in your formulations. In soap making, some soapers prefer Grade A olive oil to pomace because the high percentage of unsaponifiables in pomace can cause it to saponify too quickly or overreact with other ingredients such as fragrance and (800) 520-2060 31 Vegetable Oils (continued) essential oils.

Virgin coconut oil, as it has come to be known, differs from regular refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil in that it is extracted from freshly cut coconuts, not dried copra. It has not been subjected to high temperatures, solvents or refinement procedures. The exact method of extraction may differ among the various virgin coconut oils available on the market, however, only an oil that starts with freshly harvested, healthy coconuts, and ends with the least amount of moisture possible, will result in a high quality Virgin Coconut Oil. Unfortunately, there is no set standard yet for producing Virgin Coconut Oil and therefore, purchasing it can be tricky for the consumer. Beware of oils that look cloudy when completely liquid and oils that smell of burnt rubber or rancid coconuts. Our Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is obtained from freshly harvested coconut meat that has been grated and then expeller pressed to produce the coconut milk. This milk is then centrifuged to separate the milk into coconut solids, water and oil. This separation is so thorough that the oil has no moisture left in it to promote rancidity, and the oil does not need to undergo any further heating to remove moisture. This method yields the finest, creamiest, most flavorful coconut oil possible. This unique cold process extraction takes place within hours of opening the coconuts and conserves all of the functional components of coconuts such as squalene, tocopherols and sterol. Our Traditional Virgin Coconut Oil is obtained using a more traditional style of extraction but still yields a beautiful, high quality oil without compromising any of the functional components of coconut oil. Newly harvested coconuts are cut and the fresh coconut meat is grated. The meat is then immediately expeller pressed to obtain the coconut milk, which then undergoes a process* that separates the mixture into oil, cream and water. The water is allowed to drain and then the oil/cream mixture is passed through a cloth filter and then a paper filter until a crystal clear oil is achieved. No heat is used during this extraction process. Our oil is not produced through the fermentation process. Both of our Virgin coconut oils are light, penetrating oils with excellent shelf life and stability. They smell of fresh coconut milk and nothing less. Virgin Coconut Oil performs similarly to Kukui, Jojoba, Illipe and Shea butter. In countries where it is produced, it is a food source and has been found to be the best source of monolaurin, a well known anti-septic substance found in breast milk.

Vitamin E, Natural (Conventional) Available in three potencies: 250IU/g, 1000IU/g and 1400IU/g. Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble vitamin composed of 8 naturally occurring compounds. The fractions are called alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, eta, gamma and zeta tocopherol, and four other substances called tocotrienols. While each of these compounds exhibits different biological activities, d-alpha tocopherol has the highest biological activity and is the most widely available form of vitamin E in food. Since the alpha tocopherol activity is most responsible for the effectiveness of the product, the potency of Vitamin E oil is measured by its alpha tocopherol content. It is important to known the IU of the vitamin E oil you are using. A 200 IU/g Vitamin E contains 200 units of alpha tocopherol per gram of oil and the rest of it is unspecified amounts of the beta, delta, epsilon and other components. 1 international unit (IU) of vitamin E is equal to 1 mg of the synthetic form racemic alpha tocopherol acetate. While the alpha tocopherol can be isolated from the other components, studies have shown that it is more stable and has a longer shelf life when it is in its original family structure with its non-alpha tocopherols unless it is transformed into tocopheryl. Furthermore, the full activity of the other fractions is still unknown, and some manufacturers of vitamin E prefer to preserve the natural form. The most important and well known biological function of vitamin E is related to its anti-oxidant properties. Internally, Vitamin E is the most effective anti-oxidant in the biological membrane. It protects cellular structures against damage from free radicals and the byproducts of fat peroxidation. It acts as a free radical scavenger to prevent the byproducts of chemical-cell interaction to cause cell damage. Vitamin E may help to decrease the toxicity of certain chemotherapy drugs. When used topically, Vitamin E may decrease some of the harmful effects of solar radiation on the skin. It is commonly used in lotions or creams for burn treatment. It is also helpful to treat burns secondary to radiation therapy. Combine with emu oil for a burn treatment. Vitamin E oil is often prescribed for topical use in pregnant women to prevent stretch marks on the abdomen. More recently it has been used to prevent or treat mucositis resulting from chemotherapy. It can help heal acne, promote wound healing and prevent scarring from eczema or psoriasis. Topical vitamin E moisturizes the skin from within, reduces UV induced damage, helps to protect against ozone damage and decreases erythema (redness of the skin) after sun exposure. This makes it appropriate for use in sun care products including lip balms. Since the alpha tocopherol is responsible for repairing, healing and protecting skin, use the high alpha tocopherol Natural Vitamin E Oil (250, 1000, or 1400 IU) in your skin care formulations for skin softening/healing purposes. INCI: Tocopherol Shelf Life: 2 Years 36 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Vegetable Oils (continued) Vitamin E T-50 (Conventional) If you need to add vitamin E oil to protect your formulation from rancidity, use our T-50 Vitamin E oil instead of our 250IU/g, 1000IU/g and 1400IU/g Vitamin E oils. While the alpha tocopherol in the 250, 1000, and 1400IU/g oils is wonderful as an invitro anti-oxidant, studies show that the gamma tocopherol in the Vitamin E T-50 oil is a better anti-oxidant for oils/lipids in cosmetic formulations. Low alpha, mixed tocopherols, T-50, has a higher content of gamma tocopherols and can be used at a rate of .05% or 400ppm to adequately protect your oils.

Current studies attribute very promising benefits to Emu oil. It has been reported to have an extraordinary ability to penetrate the skin. Emu oil seems to act as a carrier for carrying other ingredients. It is non-comedogenic, and is completely non irritating. It has been suggested that emu oil can reduce inflammation and redness of the skin, reduce the formation of wrinkles and restore moisture to irritated, dry skin. In addition, it is said to reduce inflammation and pain of sore muscles and joints. It may therefore, be helpful with conditions such as arthritis. It has been recommended for use in healing burns and preventing the formation of scar tissue while encouraging rapid repair of damaged tissue. It should be a “must have” item for the medicine cabinet. A blend of emu oil, water and lavender essential oil in a spray bottle seems to rapidly heal wounds, burns, stitches, and even hot spots in dogs. Used in soap at 10-20%, emu oil will make a hard bar with stable, moisturizing lather. Use emu oil in essential oil blends to help deliver the oils into the skin. Use Emu oil in massage or sports blends to help relieve soreness and inflammation. Emu oil becomes creamy looking at 65° F and will solidify if kept colder. Refrigeration is recommended if you plan to store emu oil for longer than 3 months. The uses and benefits of this oil are endless and certainly deserve more space than can be afforded here. In short, studies have suggested that emu oil is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, encourages healing, stimulates skin, hair and nail growth, has a natural SPF, is a natural emollient and moisturizer, penetrates multiple layers of skin, is non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic, prevents and diminishes scarring/stretch marks and more. It may also prove to be a great oil to use for skin disorders and allergies. Our fully refined emu oil is sourced only from US domestic farm raised emu, and supports sustainable alternative agriculture for the preservation of family farming. Our Emu oil is refined using a natural process. No solvents or chemicals have been used, and the integrity of the oil and its bioactive properties have not been compromised in any way. 1% of natural tocopherol (Vitamin E) has been added to our emu oil in order to provide a stable oil for use in cosmetics. During the refinement process, the oil is sterilized, bleached and deodorized using natural silica clays and vacuum steam pressure. We, therefore, are able to supply the highest quality emu oil with stable shelf life without having lost any of its properties through harsh chemical/heat refinement procedures. Our emu oil is processed and finished by one of the most highly regarded finishing facilities in the industry with years of experience in the refinement and finishing of superior quality food grade oils. Their natural refining process produces superior, consistent quality emu oil. The refining facility is a certified business member of the American Emu Association (AEA), and complies with AEA trade rules, and employs the most current industry knowledge for handling and “finishing” of emu oil.

They are obtained by blending different natural fractions of a vegetable oil. These various fractions can come directly from the oil, the hydrogenated oil or the unsaponifiable fraction. They are generally obtained during the refining or winterization process. The percentage of the unsaponifiable fraction in an oil is usually very low, requiring huge quantities of processed oils to yield a significant quantity of the butter. Vegetable butters are being used more and more in cosmetics and skin care products. They are rich in nutrients that are beneficial to the skin. Vegetable butters contribute to the viscosity and stability of emulsions, and they give rigidity to stick products such as lotion bars and balms. Butters can melt during shipment in the summer months or in warmer regions. Vegetable butters should become solid again within a few hours (or sometimes days, depending on the butter) if stored at room temperature. Aloe Aloe Butter is an extraction of Aloe Vera using a fatty coconut fraction to produce a soft-solid which melts on contact with the skin. It aids in rapid hydration of dry skin caused by eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sun burn, wind burn, and general chapping. Aloe butter is suitable for a variety of skin care applications including use in lotions, soaps, skin creams and lip balms. Use it to enhance moisturization and to include the properties of aloe in your formulations. Use aloe butter at 3-5% in lotions, creams, soaps, body balms, hair balms, bath bombs and lip balms. It can also be enjoyed “as is.” INCI: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract Shelf Life: 1- 2 Years SAP Value: 240 - 260 NaOH: .176 (converted to oz.)

Shea, Extra Refined Our shea butter is fully refined and is almost colorless and odorless. African healers have used shea butter for thousands of years as the ideal treatment for dry or aging skin. Its high content of non-saponifiable fatty acids gives it the ability to moisturize and retain the elasticity of the skin. Shea butter also helps to protect the skin against the damaging effects of the sun while repairing cellular degeneration. Our shea butter is extracted and refined without the use of harsh chemicals. It is deodorized and discolored but is not bleached. Shea butter can be used “as is” or in any proportion in formulations for moisturizing the skin or hair. Tip: Improper heating of shea butter can cause the butter to crystallize as it cools. This crystallization can cause lip balms, body butters and other formulations to turn gritty. To avoid this, shea butter must be melted and heated to about 175 degrees and kept at that temperature for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the butter to melt completely so that crystals will not form after it has cooled.

Tips: • Heating Shea Butter: Improper heating of shea butter can cause the butter to crystallize as it cools. This can cause lip balms, body butters and other formulations to turn gritty. To elminiate the crystallization, shea butter must be melted and heated to at least 175 degrees and kept at that temperature for at least 20 minutes before allowing to cool. • Use a double boiler or double boiler insert to gently melt butters for use in balms, creams, lotions and other formulations. Heating butters or oils in cookware that sits directly on top of the heat source can overheat and destroy the beneficial properties of your butters. Microwaving can also overheat your butters.

We encourage you to do as much research as possible before using essential oils, as they are very potent medicinal oils. Always pay proper attention to usage rates in your formulations. You should also be familiar with the different carrier oils, their shelf lives and their effects on different skin types. Always keep good notes on blends that you make so that you can replicate something if needed. Your notes should include ingredients and proportions, the date you prepared the blend, comments, and improvements to be made next time. Label finished products with the date the product was made, ingredients and instructions for use. Because essential oils are highly potent, concentrated substances, you must know how to work with them safely. The potential hazards of an essential oil depend on the compounds in the oil, the dosage and frequency used, and the method of application. Some can cause skin irritations, some can raise or lower blood pressure and some have strong sedative properties. In rare circumstances, some are said to even cause miscarriages. As such, it is important to become familiar with the oils you intend to use. For more information, please read the Essential Oil Safety Information article located within the Information Library section of our Web site: www.fromnaturewithlove.com/library We carry high quality, pure, steam distilled essential oils sourced exclusively from small distilleries around the world. We buy directly from the distilleries to ensure the quality and purity of the oils. We avoid oils produced in bulk. We offer both conventional and organic essential oils. Organic essential oils are obtained from plants that have not been chemically treated, and the soil is usually certified to be chemical free for a certain number of years. Many oils are organic by nature (conifer oils for instance), however, they may not be backed by certification. This does not mean the oil is poor quality. It simply means that the producer did not have the oil certified as organic. The certification process is quite costly. Organic oils, therefore are more expensive than conventional oils. With some oils, using conventional instead of organic oils may not pose any concern. With other oils, however, you may want to make sure the oil is of organic quality, especially when the plant/fruit is known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides. Citrus fruit, for instance, is usually sprayed with pesticides that are readily absorbed into the rind. The rind is the part of citrus fruits that are pressed to obtain the oil. The resulting essential oil can have high concentrations of pesticides if non-organic fruit rinds are used. If you are using citrus essential oils in skin care products, you may want to select organic oils. We may ship certain essential oils in PET containers if you order 16 oz. or more to avoid breakage. Please transfer these oils immediately into glass bottles. Below are brief descriptions for the essential oils that we carry. When possible, we briefly include precautions. These precautions, however, are not guaranteed to be complete. Please feel free to request essential oils that we do not currently carry.

Hydrosols The term hydrosol is derived from the Latin words hydro and sol, meaning “water solution.” When plant material, such as the roots, barks, flowers, leaves, stems and seeds, is steam distilled to obtain an essential oil, certain chemical constituents of the plant first build up in the water. Only after they reach their maximum solubility in water, do they start to collect in a separate layer on the surface of the water (the essential oil). Many of the water-soluble plant compounds and some of the oil-soluble compounds wind up in the distillation water. A hydrosol is the pure, distillate water that remains after essential oils are steam distilled from the original plant material. Hydrosols are usually clear and have the appearance and consistency of water. Their aroma is generally, but not always, similar to that of the essential oil, but the aroma is usually much more subtle. Hydrosols contain very small amounts of the essential oil. They also contain water-soluble components of the plant material that may not be present in the essential oil. The aroma, therefore, may differ somewhat from the plant’s essential oil. Some hydrosols do smell surprisingly different from the essential oil. Some hydrosols, such as Yarrow, have an unpleasant odor, making them more difficult to use. Hydrosols are gaining importance in aromatherapy because they offer an opportunity to use a well-diluted potency of a particular plant’s essential oil for therapeutic purposes. The highly concentrated compounds found in essential oils may often be too strong for the human body, and therefore may be rejected or ineffective. Hydrosols on the other hand, are well-diluted water-soluble compounds, which are easily assimilated and absorbed by the body. Hydrosols are generally safer for use in babies and individuals with depressed immune systems. Hydrosols are also known as hydrolates. Hydrosols are also sometimes incorrectly referred to as floral waters. Floral waters are typically aromatic waters made with the use of fragrance oils (see our Floral Water category within the Flavor and Fragrance 64 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Essential Oils and Hydrosols (continued) Oil section of the catalog), but do not contain the natural therapeutic properties that hydrosols contain. Hydrosols cannot be made by solubilizing essential oils in water. Unfortunately, pure hydrosols do not have the strong anti-bacterial properties that essential oils possess and therefore they are subject to rapid degradation. Hydrosols are often collected over long periods of time during which contamination may occur and subsequent handling and storage conditions may further reduce shelf life. Assuming that a hydrosol is collected in the most sterile manner and promptly sealed, stored and transported in a cool environment, it may have a shelf life of 6 months to 2 years unopened. Keeping a hydrosol stored in such pristine conditions, however, is rarely the case. We believe that the dangers of using a hydrosol harboring bacterial colonies far outweigh the negative effects of adding food grade ethyl alcohol to the hydrosols to preserve shelf life. Our European hydrosols are preserved with ethyl alcohol as required by law. Our witch hazel hydrosol is preserved with Germaben and is not suitable for internal use. Use hydrosols in toners, creams, lotions, body sprays, room sprays and in place of water in most formulations. They will impart both fragrance and therapeutic benefits to your products. Hydrosols are also wonderful when used as wetting agents in clay facials. An anti-bacterial preservative will be needed to preserve your products that contain hydrosols. For more in-depth information about hydrosols, we offer the 290 page book Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy written by Suzanne Catty. Suzanne Catty is well known for her knowledge and work with hydrosols. Please see the Books section of our catalog for pricing information. We ship our hydrosols in plastic to avoid breakage, but the hydrosols should be transferred to glass as soon as possible. Like essential oils, hydrosols should be stored in a cool dry place. The shelf life of hydrosols is up to 2 years when they are stored properly. Hydrosols can be stored in the refrigerator.

Many witch hazel products on the market contain about 14% alcohol. Witch hazel hydrosol is astringent and can be used daily as a toner. It cleans the skin and leaves a light film of oil to help soothe dry skin. It can also be used in the many ways that our other hydrosols can be used: in toners, creams, lotions, body sprays, room sprays and in place of water in most formulations.

Kit Price: $80.00 (800) 520-2060 71 Flavor and Fragrance Cosmetic Grade Fragrance Oils Our high quality, concentrated, cosmetic grade fragrance oils are skin safe when used properly diluted. Best of all, they are alcohol-free! Our cosmetic grade fragrance oils will not cause seizing in CP soap and are not drying to the skin. They work well in soaps, lotions, creams, powders, balms, oils and scrubs. They are generally used at 2-5% in formulations and can be used as perfume oils when diluted in a vegetable oil or jojoba. Fragrance oils do not disperse well in water without the aid of a solubilizer. To make water or alcohol based perfumes, air fresheners, linen sprays and other water or alcohol based formulations, you may use our Fragrance Oil Base or Polysorbate 20. Important Notes: • Our cosmetic grade fragrance oils are not for use in candles or lip balm. We offer flavor oils suitable for lip balms. Please see our Flavor Oil section for these fine oils. Visit our Web site for our large selection of candle fragrance oils. • Our 16 oz. and 1 gallon bottles of fragrance oil are shipped in plastic HDPE bottles. We recommend that you transfer these oils to glass bottles upon receipt. We offer 16 oz. Boston Round bottles within our Packaging section of the catalog. Tips for Using Fragrance Oils in Cold Process Soap: When trying a new fragrance oil in cold process soap, please use the following guidelines: • Mix the fragrance oil with a carrier oil that you are using as a superfatting agent, or with some oil that you reserved from your recipe. Blending the fragrance oil with a carrier tends to buffer the reaction when it hits the raw soap. • Do not use a stick blender. Stick blenders will accelerate trace. If the fragrance oil that you use also accelerates trace, you will have a compound reaction. Wait until you are familiar with the fragrance oil before you use mechanical mixing. If there appears to be no acceleration, then you may start using short bursts of the stick blender. • Keep your temperatures within an average range, not too high or too low. This will help avoid a reaction. • Do not use Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) with a new fragrance oil. GSE is used in soap to accelerate a slow trace. If you use fragrance oils and GSE together, you may wind up with an accelerated trace. • Using the right procedures, you should be able to use any of our cosmetic fragrance oils in cold process soap without difficulty. Flavor Oils Flavor oils are fragrance oils that are approved for use in lip products. They lend a “scent” to lip balms. Contrary to their name, they do not possess any real “flavor” or “taste.” Although flavor oils contain small amounts of essential oils, they are not considered natural. Flavor oils are generally used at a rate of about 3% in lip balm formulations. Flavor oils can be blended to create interesting combinations. The possibilities are endless! Fragrance Oil Base Fragrance oils and essential oils do not disperse in water without the use of a solubilizer. Use our Fragrance Oil Base to solubilize your fragrance or essential oils into water. Use 1 part essential oil or fragrance oil to 3 or 4 parts fragrance oil base. Add your solubilized oil to distilled water or other carrier such as teas, witch hazel and floral waters. Be sure to keep the percentage of fragrance oil or essential oil to within safe limits. 72 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Flavor and Fragrance (continued) The identity of the individual components of this mixture is proprietary, and is considered to be a trade secret.

When using solubilizer in your formulations, it is covered by the inclusion of “Fragrance” in your ingredient list. INCI: Fragrance Shelf Life: 2 Years Floral Waters Floral waters are synthetic, water-soluble fragrances that can be used to make linen sprays, facial mists, body mists and air fresheners. You do not need to solubilize them first! Just mix the floral waters with water and/or alcohol. They can also be used in creams and lotions. When doing so, add them to the water phase.

Great customer service, feedback is respected, durable packaging, fast delivery, and high quality, extensive product variety. I’m so glad FNWL exists and pleased that it continues to do well. And I like that it’s owned by a family and not a big conglomerate. There are many more companies now than when I first began ordering that provide similar products, but I’m very happy with my sure bet. Everyone whom I’ve recommended FNWL to has remained repeat customers, too.” — Dana Scott Philadelphia, PA “My name is Angie Christian and I order quite a bit. I just want you guys to know, I think you run an awesome business. I have always been happy with your product and how fast you deliver. Thank you. I ordered some oil yesterday and had it shipped over night. I was wondering if you would have it processed and shipped that day and I just tracked down my order and it will be here today. Thank you for being so dependable.” — Angie Christian Sat, TX “I just received my order and you guys are the best—everything was packed so well.” — Kimberly Harper Cincinnati, OH (800) 520-2060 75 Additives and Other Ingredients Aloe Products Aloe Butter Aloe Butter is an extraction of Aloe Vera using a fatty coconut fraction to produce a soft-solid which melts on contact with the skin. It aids in rapid hydration of dry skin caused by eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sun burn, wind burn, and general chapping. Aloe butter is suitable for a variety of skin care applications including use in lotions, soaps, skin creams and lip balms. Use it to enhance moisturization and to include the properties of aloe in your formulations. Use aloe butter at 3-5% in lotions, creams, soaps, body balms, hair balms, bath bombs and lip balms. It can also be enjoyed “as is.” INCI: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract Shelf Life: 1- 2 Years SAP Value: 240 - 260 NaOH: .176 (converted to oz.) KOH: .247 (converted to oz.) Aloe Moist Our Aloe Moist is a high viscosity aloe vera gel that can be used alone to moisturize the skin or it can be used in formulations. Glitter and fragrance can be blended in to make glitter gel. Aloe Moist contains 55% natural aloe vera gel. Aloe Moist can be use as a hair gel too. It has greater contact time with the skin because the special formula prevents rapid evaporation. The recommended usage rate is at least 10%. INCI: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (and) Glyceryl Polymethacrylate (and) Propylene Glycol Shelf Life: 1-2 Years (darkens with age, fallout may occur) Aloe Vera Gel 1:1 Pure aloe vera gel is known for its ability to heal and moisturize the skin and hair. It is obtained from the inner fillet of fresh aloe vera leaves and then processed to remove the pulp and fiber. The resulting gel is then decolorized, pasteurized, and preserved to give it a stable shelf life. Pure aloe vera gel is actually not gel-like, but is more thin in texture. The gels that are commonly found on the market are “gelled” using a gelling agent. If you are looking for a thick, gel-like aloe, please try our Aloe Moist. Aloe vera is quite fragile and will readily grow bacteria when contaminated. When using aloe vera gel in a formulation, you will need to properly preserve your formulation using an anti-microbial agent such as our Grape Seed Extract, germaben or a combination of parabens. Although the shelf life of aloe vera gel is one year, it is best not to store aloe vera gel longer than six months. Fresh gel is best. Refrigerate aloe vera gel to prolong the shelf life. Note: Including 10% aloe vera gel in your formulations is generally sufficient to exhibit the effects of aloe vera in your product. Your products, however, must contain at least 15% aloe vera gel to meet the International Aloe Science Council certification requirements. INCI: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Shelf Life: 1 Year (darkens with age) Aloe Vera Oil (Conventional) Throughout history, aloe vera has been known for its healing properties. Historical and religious documents of the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Chinese, Indians, and Arabians report its internal and external use and effectiveness. Aloe vera gel can be effective in healing various skin disorders including cancers, ulcers, lesions and general wounds. Aloe is also a well-known burn remedy and is used in trauma centers throughout the states. Research has shown that aloe vera gel penetrates human skin almost four times faster than water. Because of its ability to penetrate so quickly, it is a wonderful addition to moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners and shaving gels. When combined with other healing agents, aloe vera helps these substances penetrate the skin easily carrying them to the deeper layers of the skin. Aloe is believed to have an anti-aging effect on skin. Aloe vera also acts as an anti-inflammatory pain-reliever. The anti-inflammatory properties make it useful in the treatment of acne and other dermatological problems. Aloe vera can reduce the irritating effects that radiation has on the skin and has also been found to help accelerate tissue repair and normal cell growth. Aloe Vera Oil is produced by macerating aloe vera leaves in soybean oil. Use aloe vera oil in lip balms, creams, lotions, body butters, hair oil treatments and other skin care formulations. By using the oil, you can add the healing properties of aloe vera to your product without needing to worry about the bacterial and mold growth that can occur when using the pure gel. Use aloe vera oil at 5-10% in most formulations. INCI: Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (and) Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract Shelf Life: 1 - 2 Years Extraction Method: Maceration SAP Value: 185-200 NaOH: .135 (converted to oz.) KOH: .191 (converted to oz.) 76 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Additives and Other Ingredients (continued) Shealoe Butter Shealoe butter is made with equivalent quantities of shea butter and aloe vera gel resulting in a healing and moisturizing emollient. Use shealoe butter “as is” to soothe dry, irritated skin, or add it to your formulations as a skin or hair nutrient. When used in formulations, shealoe butter lends a high gloss sheen and a non-greasy slip to your product. Shealoe is wonderful in lip balms, creams, lotions, body butters, lotion bars, bath bombs and more. The recommended usage rate is about 5 - 10%. INCI: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (and) Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Fruit Butter Shelf Life: 1-2 Years Bee Products Honey Powder Honey powder is natural honey that has been spray dried into a fine powder. It is then blended with fructose and maltodextrin to keep it free flowing. Honey powder is similar in texture to corn flour. Honey is said to be a natural anti-septic due to its tendency to absorb the life-sustaining moisture out of bacterial cell walls. As such, it is useful to include in healing salves and to use as a natural wound cover. Honey attracts the dirt from skin pores and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. It, therefore, is said to be a natural skin cleanser and softener. Use honey powder in your creams, lotions, soaps, scrubs, facials, masks, body wraps, bath teas, milk baths, bath salts and bath bombs. INCI: Honey, Fructose, Maltodextrin Shelf Life: 1 Year Royal Jelly Powder Royal jelly is rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant hormones. It is said to be a “miracle” food that is produced by worker bees. The female bees who consume this highly nutritious, thick, milky colored substance are those who become the queen bee, living 30 times longer than bees not fed this substance. In skin care preparations, royal jelly is said to revitalize the skin, plump up skin cells, improve elasticity and help heal damaged skin. Use 2-5% royal jelly in creams, lotions, body balms, and lip balms. Beeswax (White, Filtered, Pellets) Beeswax is a natural secretion of honey bees. Beeswax has the beautiful, sweet aroma of honey and a rich, golden color. Our cosmetic beeswax is decolorized and filtered to remove any impurities and then shaped into small pellets for easy use. This beeswax has a mild, sweet aroma. Use this wax in creams, lotions, balms, body butters and other formulations where rigidity or body are required. When added to soap, beeswax lends hardness and resistance to melting. In candle making, pure beeswax candles are better for the environment than paraffin candles, and beeswax should be considered when making aromatherapy grade candles.

Beeswax (Yellow, Filtered, Pellets) Natural beeswax has the beautiful, sweet smell of honey and a rich, golden color. These sweet smelling, golden colored pellets are convenient to use in creams, lotions, soaps, balms and candles. They are filtered for use in cosmetics to eliminate impurities. The natural color will lend a slightly yellow hue to your products. INCI: Beeswax Shelf Life: Stable SAP Value: 89 - 103 NaOH: 0.067 (converted to oz.) KOH: 0.095 (converted to oz.)

Guar gum is a natural thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer, and is widely used in food and cosmetics. Guar gum is useful because it has the ability to thicken without requiring heat. Its viscosity is a function of temperature, time and concentration. When combined with a saturated solution of borax and water, guar gum will form a gel. It is used at a rate of .1 - .5% in most formulations. INCI: Guar Gum Shelf Life: 1-2 Years Xanthan Gum Xanthan gum is a natural thickener derived from corn sugar. It produces high viscosities at low concentrations (.5 - 2%), is soluble in hot and cold water and is tolerant to salt, pH and temperature changes. It can thicken and add volume to lotions, creams and gels. It also works as a suspension agent. To use xanthan gum, you should use a mechanical mixer or blender. Disperse the gum in some medium and then blend it into your water phase. It can be first mixed with dry ingredients such as cornstarch, clays or oat starch. Alternatively, you can mechanically disperse xanthan gum in a non-aqueous solvent like glycerin or vegetable oil and then blend it into your water phase. It is important to keep the batch in motion (in a blender or with a stick blender) while combining the phases. INCI: Xanthan Gum Shelf Life: 1-2 Years Solubilizers/Emulsifiers Fragrance Base Fragrance oils and essential oils do not disperse in water without the use of a solubilizer. Use our Fragrance Oil Base to solubilize your fragrance or essential oils into water. Use 1 part essential oil or fragrance oil to 3 or 4 parts fragrance oil base. Add your solubilized oil to distilled water or other carrier such as teas, witch hazel and floral waters. Be sure to keep the percentage of fragrance oil or essential oil to within safe limits. The identity of the individual components of this mixture is proprietary, and is considered to be a trade secret. From Nature With Love is not able to supply the ingredient list. It is composed of chemicals commonly found in fragrance oils. When using solubilizer in your formulations, it is covered by the inclusion of “Fragrance” in your ingredient list. INCI: Fragrance Shelf Life: 2 Years Polysorbate 20 Use polysorbate 20 to emulsify oils and water. Use equal amounts of Polysorbate 20 to oil (1:1). To achieve a clear solution, you may need to use more polysorbate 20. Mix fragrance or essential oils with P20 until you get a clear solution, and then add the mixture to your batch.

Apple cider vinegar helps to maintain healthy skin and hair by restoring a healthy pH level. It soothes sunburn, cleanses and disinfects wounds, helps to heal bruises, helps with itchy scalp, dandruff and hair loss and soothes aches and pains. Used in bath water or in a clay facial or body wrap, it can help soothe itchy, irritated skin and help dissolve excess fatty deposits near the surface of the skin. Apple cider vinegar is helpful to our canine friends. It is great for maintaining a healthy, shiny coat in dogs. It works as a repellent for fleas, ticks and other insects because they don’t like the acidic environment. Apple cider vinegar also alleviates hot spots, constant wound licking and canine skin allergies. Feeding 1 -2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar along with regular food can prevent dog urine from yellowing lawns and can ease the pains of arthritis.

The high mineral content allows cation exchange to detoxify the skin. They help revitalize, exfoliate and purify the skin. They draw excess oils and debris from the skin leaving a clean fresh feeling. Dead Sea salt is wonderful for use in a variety of applications such as bath salts, salt scrubs, foot scrubs, bath bombs, bath teas, body wraps and body polishers. Dead Sea clay and mud help tighten pores and stimulate circulation so your skin is left with a smooth, healthy glow. The mud can also be used as a pack for sore joints. Use the mud as a hair pack to alleviate dandruff and oily hair conditions. It will not overdry the scalp. To Use the Mud or Clay: A Dead Sea mud mask can be made very simply by mixing Dead Sea clay and enough water, hydrosol or other wetting agent to make a thick paste. The best water to use is Dead Sea brine. You can also use the mud which is already wet. Try adding 3 drops of essential oil to the mud to help cleanse the pores and kill the bacteria that causes blemishes. Other wetting agents for the clay include fruit puree, yogurt, cucumber juice and milk. Honey can be added to make the mask anti-bacterial. If your skin tends to be dry in places, trying adding some jojoba to the mud mask to help balance the skin. Other good additives include our powdered sea vegetables, powdered rice bran, colloidal oatmeal, nut meals and powdered herbs. Dead Sea masks cannot be premixed and stored, so only mix what you will use immediately. Alternatively, you can provide customers with a specially blended wetting agent in a separate container so they can prepare the mask when desired. A great Dead Sea hair wrap can be made with 1/2 cup mud or clay (wet with Dead Sea brine), 1 tablespoon shikakai powder, 1 teaspoon aritha powder, 1 teaspoon neem powder, 1 tablespoon jojoba oil and 5 drops of rosemary essential oil. All of these ingredients are available throughout our catalog. Mix all of the ingredients and massage through wet hair. Wrap your head with plastic and then a hot towel. Leave it in for at least 15 minutes, and then wash out. Dead Sea Clay Dead Sea clay is rich in the minerals found at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and it can be used for all skin types. Used alone or mixed with other clays, it is great for facials, body wraps, hair wraps, and soap. Add 1-2 tablespoons of clay per pound of soap for a nice dense, exfoliating lather.

Dead Sea salts are mineral-rich and contain high proportions of Potassium, Magnesium and Bromide. Potassium helps regulate the moisture level of the skin, Magnesium helps promote healing, and Bromide has a smoothing and relaxing effect. Dead Sea salt exfoliates and revitalizes the skin and helps draw out toxins. Sea salt is well known for its ability to relieve aches and pains, reduce stiffness after exertion, relax the muscles and relieve skin problems such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. The high mineral content of Dead Sea salt stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Increased circulation moves trapped fluid from joints, improving joint movement and reducing stiffness and pain. Regular use of salts promotes healthy skin by exfoliating and encouraging regeneration of new skin cells. The coarse grain size is great for bath salts and for decorating melt & pour soaps. The medium grain size ranges in size from pretzel salt to pebble size and is also wonderful for use in bath salts and scrubs. The fine grain size is about the size of table salt. It is perfect for use in bath salts, foot scrubs and body polishes. The powder grain size is very small and is great for bath bombs, bath teas, body wraps and body polishers. It can be added to facial clay for a mineral treatment. Dead Sea salt can be used by itself to make a bath salt, or you can blend it with other types of salts to keep your costs down.

Your donation added to the enjoyment of our day! I was the honored recipient of the $40 gift certificate! Because I occasionally place small orders with you, this was a thrill.” — Denise Hie Edmonds, WA 90 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Salts and Sugars Salts For centuries, people have bathed in the mineral-rich seas of the world to help promote good health and beautiful skin. Ancient records show that people traveled many miles to bathe in salt waters such as the Dead Sea, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Blue Lagoon and the famous mineral springs around the world. The mineral-rich, salty waters have been know to help alleviate even the most severe cases of dry skin disorders. Salt water bathing stimulates circulation, hydrates the skin, increases moisture retention, promotes cellular regeneration, detoxifies the skin, and helps heal dry, scaling, irritated skin. It also reduces inflammation of the muscles and joints, relaxes muscles and relieves pain and soreness. Important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, bromide, and calcium are readily absorbed into the skin when we bath in a lukewarm sea salt bath. 2 - 4 cups of sea salt per bath are recommended for detoxifying and for alleviating itchy, dry skin. When essential oils are added to a salt bath, they are also readily absorbed increasing their therapeutic effectiveness. Use salts to make bath soaks, bath bombs, bath fizzies, scrubs and foot soaks. Sea salt water can also be used in creams and lotions to help soothe irritated skin due to eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions. We carry some of the most exotic, spa grade salts from around the world. They are all naturally harvested from mineral-rich waters and possess the finest mineral compositions for use in skin care. Use them “as is” for bath salts or color and scent them for use as fragranced bath soaks. Our fine grain salts are perfect for exfoliating salt scrubs. Bath salts are extremely easy and fun to make. They can be made from one or more varieties of salt. Using different salts brings the therapeutic properties of each of the salts into your bath salt blend. Using different grain sizes provides more visual appeal. Bath salts can be lightly colored in beautiful pastel or light earthy hues by using mica powder or our organic FD&C dyes. Mica powders add a light shimmer to bath salts. We suggest only lightly coloring your bath salts so that the dye will not stain the skin during bath time. You may also add a tiny amount of vegetable oil to add moisturizing properties to your bath salt blend. Bath salts can be fragranced with essential oils or fragrance oils. Use approximately 1% essential oil or 2% fragrance oil. If fragrancing your bath salt blend, we suggest including Dendritic salt in your bath salt blend. Dendritic salt helps retain the aroma of your bath salts. Our fine grain salts are also wonderful for use in making exfoliating body and foot scrubs. Experiment by mixing fine grain salts with your choice of vegetable oils (fractionated coconut oil works well), our natural castille soap base for gentle cleansing, herbs, clays and no more than 1% essential oil for fragrance and additional therapeutic benefit. We do not recommend using salt scrubs on the face. Naturally harvested sea salts are hand cleaned when packaged however, they often contain small particles of seaweed, sand, shell and other beach particles. Large mineral deposits appear as small stones or pebbles. These particles are not harmful, but they can be cosmetically undesirable. We do our best not to send out salts that have too much natural beach debris. Black Sea Pink Pamper yourself in the nourishing minerals of traditionally harvested Black Sea Pink Salt. According to ancient scriptures, kings and other people of nobility traveled long distances to the Black Sea seeking its curative powers. Today, expert salt makers harvest this exotic salt by hand from salt flats within the marshes. This traditional method of harvesting ensures that the salt retains its natural mineral content and remains chemical free. High concentrations of halophilic bacteria live in the water and salt crust and cause the pink coloration of this salt. The bacteria produce a red carotenoid pigment which is a source of Beta-carotene. It is this pigment which protects the bacteria from intense radiation from the sun. Black Sea Pink Salt has been said to provide pain relief from eczema, psoriasis, rheumatism, arthritis and muscle strain. It has also been used by the ancients to improve the health of the skin. Black Sea Pink Salt is a medium to chunky grain white salt with a very slight pink tint. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Black Sea Pink Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (Keep Away From Moisture) Dead Sea Available in Powder, Fine, Medium and Coarse grain sizes. Dead Sea salts are mineral-rich and contain high proportions of Potassium, Magnesium and Bromide. Potassium helps regulate the moisture level of the skin, Magnesium helps promote healing, and Bromide has a smoothing and relaxing effect. Dead Sea salt exfoliates and revitalizes the skin and helps draw out toxins. Sea salt is well known for its ability to relieve aches and pains, reduce stiffness after exertion, relax the muscles and relieve skin problems such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. The high mineral content of Dead Sea salt stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation. Increased circulation moves trapped fluid from joints, improving joint movement and reducing stiffness and pain. Regular use of salts promotes healthy skin by exfoliating and encouraging regeneration of new skin cells. The coarse grain size is great for bath salts and for decorating melt & pour soaps. The medium grain size ranges in size from (800) 520-2060 91 Salts and Sugars (continued) pretzel salt to pebble size and is also wonderful for use in bath salts and scrubs. The fine grain size is about the size of table salt. It is perfect for use in bath salts, foot scrubs and body polishes. The powder grain size is very small and is great for bath bombs, bath teas, body wraps and body polishers. It can be added to facial clay for a mineral treatment. Dead Sea salt can be used by itself to make a bath salt, or you can blend it with other types of salts to keep your costs down. It can be used “as is” or you can add fragrance and color. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Dead Sea Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (Keep Away From Moisture) Dendritic Dendritic salt is a very fine grain salt which has been crystallized to provide greater surface area. The increased surface area helps to retain fragrance, requires less pigments and reduces clumping. By adding approximately 5% dendritic salt to your bath salts, your bath salts will retain their fragrance longer than without the inclusion of dendritic salt. Combine dendritic salt with medium and/or coarse grain salts if you prefer chunkier salts. To use, mix your essential or fragrance oil with your dendritic salts and then blend the dendritic salts into your other salts. INCI: Sodium Chloride Shelf Life: Stable (Keep Away From Moisture) Epsom Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, is used alone or included in bath salt blends. Epsom salt is known for its ability to ease pain and muscular tension. Epsom salt helps to reduce swelling, relax the nervous system and eliminate toxins from the body. INCI: Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (Keep Away From Moisture) Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Salt Available in Fine, Medium and Coarse grain sizes. Our Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Salt is harvested from one of the world’s purest water reservoirs. The geo-thermal brine (sea water) from which the brine salt originates comes from a steaming 300° pool found 1 mile below the earth’s surface in Iceland. The brine is drawn up and then heated by the natural geo-thermal steam until all the water has evaporated, leaving behind only the clean, pure salt. The harvested salt is rich in silica and essential trace elements, but it contains 60% less sodium than regular sea salt. Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Salt dissolves instantly in water and leaves skin feeling silky soft. Use Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Salts in your bath to relax sore, tired muscles, detoxify your skin and to help relieve dry, scaling skin conditions. It is gentle enough to use in baby’s bath water for relieving itchy skin. Use this mineral-rich salt in your creams and lotions to help dry skin conditions. Note: Icelandic Geo-Thermal Brine Salt tends to absorb more moisture from the air than other salts. Please be sure to store it in a dry environment. INCI: Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt) Shelf Life: Stable (Keep Away From Moisture) Hawaiian Red Sea (Alaea) Available in Fine and Medium grain sizes. Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, also known as Alaea sea salt, is a natural, unprocessed salt. It is rich in minerals from the sea and volcanic red clay from the earth. The volcanic red clay is high in iron oxide. Hawaiian Red Sea Salt is considered to be a sacred salt because it originates from both the sea and earth. It was traditionally used to cleanse and bless homes and belongings, and it was also used in healing rituals. Hawaiian Red Sea Salt is said to have curative properties when used for sore throats, wounds, body aches, muscle sprains, gum infections and cold sores. It is believed to draw toxins from overworked muscle tissue. This is a beautiful, naturally colored salt. Include it in detoxifying bath salts and salt scrubs. It can also be used to speckle other white sea salts.

They gently exfoliate the skin just as our salts do, but our natural sugars look so much more decadent! Experiment by substituting one of our natural sugars for the salt in your favorite salt scrub recipe! Because our sugars retain their natural molasses content, they do impart a slightly sweet, molasses aroma to your recipe. When choosing essential or fragrance oils to fragrance your blend, please choose oils with aromas that will blend well. Examples of essential oils that tend to blend well with our sugars are sandalwood, patchouli, orange or vanilla. You may also explore our selection of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, fruit, nut and spice fragrance oils for fragrances that blend well with our sugars. Brown Sugar Available in Light and Dark (The molasses content determines the color of the sugar) This moist, fine grain dark brown sugar has a high content of natural molasses.

The shade of our dark brown sugar resembles that of milk chocolate. Our light brown sugar is golden brown. Brown sugar tends to harden quickly, so it must be stored in air-tight containers. We recommend storing it in small, usable portions. Note: Hard sugar can be softened by microwaving it for a few minutes with a cup of water placed beside it. INCI: Sucrose (Brown Sugar) Shelf Life: Keep Away From Moisture Demerara Sugar Demerara sugar is a crunchy, medium grain, golden brown sugar. It is rich in natural sugarcane molasses.

They exfoliate, clean and invigorate the skin while improving blood circulation. Clay has the ability to absorb excess oils, dirt and harmful toxins from the skin. Cosmetic clays are made up of different mineral contents and each clay type has a different effect on the skin. The high mineral content of clay rejuvenates the skin while the clay exfoliates and stimulates blood circulation to the skin. Regular use of clay facials will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation to the skin, remove debris from the pores and bring about a smooth healthy glow. Each clay has the ability to absorb toxins from the skin but they differ in their level of absorption. Clays can be used in facials, body powders, soaps, and as a natural colorant for soap, lotions, creams, bath salts and more. Our clays are cosmetic grade and in most cases are also USP/medicinal grade. This is important to note because technical grade clays often have dangerously high content levels of lead. Our clays have been certified to be lead free and safe for cosmetic use. Bentonite Bentonite clay is a combination of montmorillonite and volcanic ash.

INCI: Maris Limus (Black Mud) Shelf Life: 1-2 Years (Uncontaminated) Moor Mud Moor mud is one of the world’s most prized ancient medicines. It has been used for centuries to balance, detoxify, and tone the body. Historical reports reveal the many uses of moor mud in the treatment of human disease. Even animals have been observed using moor mud for its curative properties. Moor mud is the unique product of time and nature that started with the retreat of the last Ice Age. A very fertile valley brimming with plant life was formed and isolated from the rest of the world. These plants became submerged under a lake formed by the melting glaciers. Over time, this area became a rich, live deposit of organic substances with all of the properties of the plants intact. Analysis of moor mud shows that it contains over 1000 organic botanicals, trace minerals and elements, enzymes, natural anti-biotics, vitamins and phyto-hormones. Moor mud is being rediscovered today by the world’s best naturopaths, and it is being used to heal a wide range of disorders. It is seen on the menus of the world’s finest spas for complete body care. In addition to its cosmetic use as a natural exfoliant, detoxifier and cellulite reducer, moor mud can be used in poultices to reduce swelling, reduce inflammation, draw out abscesses, and to promote healing with minimized scar formation. Use it alone or add essential oils for their added therapeutic benefits. To prevent bacterial growth, this mud has been preserved with nutricide, an anti-microbial agent derived from lemons. Ingredients: 99.9% Moor mud, less than .1%: nutricide, phenonip and bentonite.

Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap Bases Soap making with our quality melt and pour soap bases is easy, convenient, and doesn’t require the use of lye. We offer a nice selection of luxurious specialty bases including cocoa butter, shea butter, goat’s milk, honey and aloe vera. We also offer plain coconut bases including our colored transparent bases. All of them are unscented except for our honey base which has a beautiful aroma of raw honey. Our formulations are gentle on the skin and do not contain unnecessary preservatives unless required by the specific ingredients. We have avoided the use of harsh chemicals to the extent possible. Our gentle bases should not be microwaved or overheated as high heat will reduce the lather. Our bases come in 2 pound “blocks” that are approximately 1” thick. Each block has perforated lines that make it easy to cut the block into small cubes for more even melting. We also offer a large selection of soap molds that are perfect to use with our melt and pour soap base. Please see the Equipment section of our catalog for a listing of our molds. The colors, shapes, textures and styles of soaps that you can make with our melt and pour soap bases is unlimited. For wonderful ideas, recipes and tips complete with vivid photographs, we recommend the 136-page book “Melt & Mold Soap Crafting” by C. Kaila Westerman. You can find this book within the Books section of the catalog. Basic Melt and Pour Soap Making Steps To make melt and pour soap, cut your chosen soap base into cubes using the perforated grid on the block as a guideline. Heat water to boiling in the bottom pot of a double boiler. Then, reduce heat to simmer. In the top pot of the boiler, add the soap cubes. Stir frequently until they have melted. Then add any desired colorant, clays or other additives (except for solid ingredients and fragrance), and stir until well incorporated. Immediately remove your melted soap from of the stove, and let it cool slightly. Stir the soap frequently as it cools. Add your desired fragrance, and stir well. After the soap has cooled slightly, it can be poured into plastic molds. Your soap should be ready to unmold within 2 hours. Tips Preservatives do not need to be added to your soap unless you are using milk, fruit or other fragile ingredients. Use about .5 - 1 oz. fragrance oil or .5 oz. of essential oil per pound of soap. You will need to experiment with the amount of fragrance or essential oil to add as it can vary depending on the oil’s aromatic strength. Clays can be used as natural colorants. Dry ingredients such as clays, oatmeal, herbs or fruit seeds should be added at a rate of about 1 tablespoon per lb. of soap. This base will not suspend heavy particles, so try to add solid ingredients when the soap has cooled slightly. Do not overheat or microwave soap bases as high heat will ruin the lather and make the soap brittle. Glycerin soaps should be packaged immediately after removing them from molds to avoid condensation on the bar. Fingerprints can be removed from soap with a little bit of alcohol.

Soap putty can be molded just like clay. Soap putty is a cream colored soap. You can knead in some color, if desired, or simply leave it uncolored. It is a great hit in children’s bath time baskets. Soap putty can also be colored and packed into soap molds and unmolded to quickly make soaps. Soap putty soaps can be used immediately but they will last a little longer if you allow them to dry for 5 days. Keep unused soap putty in a well sealed container to keep the moisture in during storage.

Dome Jars : $88.00 Tip: Our black coconut transparent melt & pour base is wonderful for creating various additional colors. Black soap is pretty on its own but can be enhanced by adding small amounts of other colors to it while melting. It will take on a slightly different hue. It is also very useful for “muting” other colors. Take a small square of black soap and add it to orange to get a brown color. Always experiment with small portions first so you don’t overshoot the amount of color you need. Black soap is also perfect for Halloween soap favors! 102 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Bases (continued) Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap Base Price List 2 lb. 6 lb. 10 lb. 20 lb. 40 lb. 200 lb.

(Inorganic refers to the fact that they lack a carbon molecule and has nothing to do with the quality or purity of the Color Additive). Organic dyes can be water or oil-soluble. Water-soluble dyes, like our FD&C Dyes, give crisp, brilliant, transparent color to your clear products and light, clean tints to your opaque products. They are great for coloring soaps, lotions, creams, powders and salts. They can bleed if used in high concentrations in your products so do not over use and test in small batches. The color may not be very stable under alkaline conditions or if exposed to light, therefore, soaps made with FD&C dyes may fade. We do not currently carry any oil-soluble dyes, lake pigments or carmines. Inorganic Color Additives are regulated by the FDA to ensure that they do not contain harmful levels of heavy metals. Although Iron Oxides can be found in nature (rocks, dirt), they contain heavy metals such as lead so Iron Oxides for cosmetics are synthetically manufactured. They produce “earthy” tones and never bright, true colors. You can achieve beautiful muted colors with these pigments. Using Color Additives Using Color Additives can be tricky even for someone with a chemistry background and ALWAYS requires testing. Colors may bleed, fade, speckle, change over time or not result in the color you expected. Colors will be affected by the color of your base, any fragrances used, other ingredients, pH and other variables. We cannot provide all the information necessary for the proper use of color additives here and therefore we encourage you to do your own research. Color additives should not be used directly on the skin. Even micas should be combined with fillers and then properly preserved for making cosmetic blushes and other cosmetics. We do not provide any technical support for the formulation of eye and face cosmetics. Do not use any of these Color Additives for making eye products without proper technical knowledge. When making lip products, double check to make sure the product can be used in lip formulations. Organic Dyes (FD&C Dyes) Our D&C and FD&C powders are a concentrated water based dye in dry powder form. Dilute the powder in distilled water and mix well. Our liquid organic dyes are pre-mixed and are water based. Our dyes are great for soaps, bath salts, bath bombs, body powders, and other water based or dry formulations. These dyes are not always stable in alkaline formulations and may fade in soaps. Please test dyes in your products to see if they will remain stable over time. Using either our liquid dye or the powdered dye diluted in distilled water, add the dye to your water phase drop by drop until you get the desired color. When adding dyes to dry salts or powders, you will need to be patient while mixing as it takes awhile, but it will color uniformly. We offer each of the below colors in both powdered and liquid form. We also offer sampler packages that allow you to experiment affordably with all of the colors of either the powdered or liquid dyes: D&C Green #5 INCI: Green No. 5 Shelf Life: Stable D&C Green #8 Not for use in eye or lip products.

It was used as a cooling, astringent, antifungal, anti-bacterial herb for the skin and hair. Henna has a bright orange color which transfers to the hair and skin. It, therefore, is used to decorate and tattoo the skin or to color and highlight the hair. Henna leaf powder is made into a paste with hot water and is then applied to the hair or stenciled onto the skin. Henna produces a beautiful, rich orange color when infused in oil. The infused oil can then be used to create a natural color for your toiletries and soap.

They are made by coating small platelets of mica with various dyes and pigments. The size of the mica particle is measured in microns and determines the luster of the mica (the ability of the mica to bend and reflect light). Smaller sizes will give a pearlescent effect with a smooth sheen. Medium size particles give a satin effect. Large particle sizes give a sparkle effect. The smaller the particle size is, the more opaque it will make your product. So you can use the fine micas to opacify transparent soaps. Some micas are first coated with an iron oxide which absorbs light and then it is coated with an interference color to reflect light. The result is a two-tone mica which changes color as it turns. Pearlescent micas are used to add color and sheen to various cosmetic products and are mostly used in the production of lipsticks and eye shadows. Use micas in lip balms, creams, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, soap (check for color fading possibility in a small batch first), lotions bars, body gel, body powders and milk baths. Micas can be heavy and therefore may settle out in low viscosity. To use in soaps, pour your soaps at cooler temperatures as they will suspend the micas better. To achieve the real effect of a mica in soap, the particles need to be aligned in the same direction - you can try pouring your soap and then “combing” the surface of the soap in one direction using a spatula. You will get different results when you add micas to colored verses non-colored soaps. Having a background color enhances the effects of the mica. To add mica powder to a liquid formulation, first disperse the mica in a small amount of oil and then add the colored oil to the batch once all the clumps are broken up. Micas are easily stirred into dry salts and powders. Please be sure to heed the “Not Safe for Lips” and “Not Stable in CP (Cold Process) Soap” columns of the below price list.

Our buttermilk, goat’s milk and whole milk powders can be used alone or combined in your favorite milk bath recipe. Ideas for additives that can used in your milk baths are Vitamin E oil, oatmeal powder, powdered herbs, and honey powder. Add milk powders to soap and toiletries to give your products a creamy texture and additional moisturizing properties. Our milk powders can be used in soap, creams, lotions, herbal milk baths, washbags, facial cleansers and masks. For soap making, the normal dilution rate is 4 tablespoons of milk powder per cup of liquid. Milk powders can be doubled to 8 tablespoons per cup of liquid to make it extra creamy and add extra fat. To prevent curdling in cold process soap making, chill your milk powder mixture. To use milk powders in melt & pour soap making, measure out 1 tablespoon of powder per pound of soap. Make a thick paste with a small amount of water. Add the mixture to your melted base, and stir to incorporate. Milk powders have a slight natural odor that can be masked with the addition of essential or fragrance oils. Buttermilk Buttermilk powder is soothing and moisturizing when used alone as a bath soak or included in recipes for milk baths, bath salts, or other bath formulations. Buttermilk powder can be combined with other milk powders, cornstarch, powdered herbs, oatmeal and rice bran. INCI:: Buttermilk Powder Shelf Life: 1 Year Goat’s Milk, Full Cream Goat’s milk has been recognized as a natural emollient for centuries. Goat’s milk helps soothe and moisturize the skin. It contains important vitamins such as A, B6, B12 and E. Goat’s milk has 3 times more beta-casein than cow’s milk. Caseins are easily absorbed into the skin and allow for quick hydration of dry skin. The content of triglycerides, capric, caprylic and caproic acid helps balance the skin’s natural pH and promotes natural exfoliation of dry skin. Goat’s milk, therefore, is an excellent ingredient to include in bath soaks, soaps, creams and lotions. This is a full cream goat’s milk powder. To make a milk bath, combine with other milk powders, honey powder or powdered herbs and essential oils. INCI:: Goat Milk Powder Shelf Life: 6 Months - 1 Year (store in an air tight container in a dark, cool place) Whole Milk Milk has been used in skin care for thousands of years.

INCI: Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil Shelf Life: 2 Years Other Waxes Beeswax (White, Filtered, Pellets) Beeswax is a natural secretion of honey bees. Beeswax has the beautiful, sweet aroma of honey and a rich, golden color. Our cosmetic beeswax is decolorized and filtered to remove any impurities and then shaped into small pellets for easy use. This beeswax has a mild, sweet aroma. Use this wax in creams, lotions, balms, body butters and other formulations where rigidity or body are required. When added to soap, beeswax lends hardness and resistance to melting. In candle making, pure beeswax candles are better for the environment than paraffin candles, and beeswax should be considered when making aromatherapy grade candles.

The shrub grows in the deserts of northern Mexico. It is extracted in the fields by heating the plants in water, adding sulfuric acid, and skimming off the wax. The candelilla wax is then filtered and decolorized for use in cosmetics and food. Candelilla wax is light brown to light yellow. It is a hard, brittle, shiny wax with a high melting point. Candellia wax is a good hardening additive in candles. It can be used as a substitute for beeswax in cosmetic applications.

Although the preservatives do extend the longevity of the products and help keep them free from bacteria, the preservatives themselves are often unhealthy. Some are even reported to cause cancer. One of the many advantages to handcrafting your own natural products is that you can eliminate these harmful preservatives. Instead, you can adapt more natural methods of preserving and using your products. It’s important to remember that your natural products will not stay fresh for as long as commercial products do. By making your products in small batches that you use up within a short period of time, your products will stay fresh and you eliminate the need to preserve your products with harsh chemical preservatives. Direct sunlight and UV rays, oxygen, heat, moisture and bacteria from your fingers can all be detrimental to your products. Below are several tips for protecting and preserving your handmade products: • Be sure your hands, work surface, and utensils are clean when preparing your products. This will help ensure that you do not introduce bacteria or contaminate your creations. Commercial skin care production is undertaken in extremely clean and sterile environments for this same reason. • Store your products in dark containers or opaque packaging to keep them away from the harmful effects of sunlight. We offer a wide selection of packaging solutions for your products. • Ensure that your packaging is airtight. Natural products can oxidize and go rancid when exposed to air. • Heat can also be damaging to natural products. Store products in a cupboard or other cool place. • Because our fingers can be a host to bacteria, try to avoid dipping your fingers into your lotion, cream or gel jars and bottles. Instead, use a clean spoon, toothpick, popsicle stick or other appropriate utensil to obtain the amount that you wish to use. Lotion pumps and PET bottles with turret or disc tops are wonderful for dispensing more fluid ingredients such as lotions and gels. Please see our Packaging section for our selection of lotion pumps and bottles. Anti-Oxidants An anti-oxidant is a preservative that reduces the rate of oxidation in oils that oxidize quickly. Simply put, oxidation is a chemical process that occurs when oils or other natural ingredients are exposed to oxygen. Use an anti-oxidant in skin care products if they contain fragile oils such as sweet almond, hemp, avocado, flax or evening primrose. Additionally, an antioxidant is beneficial to extend the shelf life of your products. You can add anti-oxidants directly to your oils to keep them fresh or you can add the anti-oxidant to the oil phase of your recipe. Lip balm, lotion bars, creams, lotions, and any other product containing oils can benefit from the addition of an anti-oxidant. Vitamin E T-50 Oil If you need to add vitamin E oil to protect your formulation from rancidity, use our T-50 Vitamin E oil instead of our 250IU/g, 1000IU/g and 1400IU/g Vitamin E oils. While the alpha tocopherol in the 250, 1000, and 1400IU/g oils is wonderful as an invitro anti-oxidant, studies show that the gamma tocopherol in the Vitamin E T-50 oil is a better anti-oxidant for oils/lipids in cosmetic formulations. Low alpha, mixed tocopherols, T-50, has a higher content of gamma tocopherols and can be used at a rate of .05% - 2% to adequately protect your oils. INCI: Tocopherol Rosemary Oil Extract Rosemary oil extract (ROE) also acts as a natural anti-oxidant. ROE can impart its own aroma into your products, so keep that in mind when using it. As a preservative, add .15 to .5 % of our undiluted Rosemary oil extract to your products. Our Rosemary oil extract is a 100% pure extract. It has not been diluted in a vegetable oil. INCI: Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (800) 520-2060 115 Natural Preservatives (continued) Anti-Microbials An anti-microbial is an ingredient or substance that helps to destroy unwanted micro-organisms such as bacteria. In the context of handmade skin care products, an anti-microbial helps preserve a product by keeping the product free of these unwanted micro-organisms. Grapefruit Seed Extract Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is a natural anti-microbial used as a preservative in skin care products. GSE is made with the extracts of citrus seeds and pulp. It is blended with vegetable glycerin to make it non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes when used in formulations. When necessary, GSE is even safe enough to use as a disinfectant for drinking water. Our Grapefruit Seed Extract is professional strength. It is 60% GSE in 40% vegetable glycerin. It is not the usual 33% found elsewhere. Please be sure to take that into consideration when using a recipe that simply calls for “GSE”. GSE has a shelf life of 7-9 years. It is said to be anti-microbial, anti-septic, anti-bacterial, astringent and does also have some anti-oxidant activity. Use GSE at .5 to 1% to preserve most formulations, or use at 2% to create anti-bacterial creams, salves, rinses and soaps. Please note that adding 2% GSE to your products does not mean that you can market or label the product as an “antibacterial” product. Wear gloves while handling Grapefruit Seed Extract.

Organic herbs are obtained from plants which have not been chemically treated and the soil is usually certified to be chemical free for a certain number of years. Many wildcrafted herbs are organic by nature, however, they may not be backed by the certificate. This does not mean the herb is poor quality - it simply means that the farm/harvester did not have the herb certified as organic. The certification process is quite costly and as such, organic herbs are priced much higher than conventional herbs. With some herbs, using conventional instead of organic may not pose any concern. With other herbs, however, you may want to make sure the herb is of organic quality, especially when the plant/fruit is known to be heavily sprayed with pesticides.

I ordered yesterday morning and received my package today. Thank you so much for such wonderful customer service.” — Mary Proud Huntingdon Valley, PA 142 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Botanicals and Potpourri From Nature With Love features over 120 botanicals that offer both color and texture when making potpourri. Potpourri is easy to make, does not have a shelf life, does not require technical knowledge, makes wonderful gifts and is a fabulous way to quickly create inventory for a craft show. • The beauty and fragrance of potpourri attracts people to your display. • Potpourri doesn’t require expensive packaging. • Potpourri can be sold individually, or it can be added to gift sets/baskets to fill them out. • It can be scented to complement any of your existing bath and candle products. • Potpourri is easily customized for the person it is meant for by varying the colors and fragrance. • Potpourri can be made with our pure essential oils for an aromatherapy product or with our high quality candle fragrance oils. • Potpourri has no shelf life and can be made well in advance of a craft show or gift-giving season. Our botanicals are carefully chosen from around the world. We encourage you to please let us know about any botanicals or other supplies that you would like us to carry. Prices for larger bulk quantities are also available upon request. Note: We recommend the use of our Candle fragrance oils (listed on our Web site) instead of the use of our Cosmetic Grade Fragrance Oils. Our candle fragrance oils are not listed in our print catalog, but most of our Cosmetic Grade Fragrance Oils do come as a Candle Fragrance Oil. Basic Potpourri Recipe Choosing the Botanicals and Fragrance: 1. Decide on a color scheme. The colors can be very natural and earthy looking, or they can be very brilliant. Your potpourri mixture can be made with as few or as many colors as desired. If you have a fragrance in mind, you may want to pick colors that seem to go with the fragrance. For example, when people think of “vanilla,” they immediately think of whites and natural colors, not bright orange or purple. As another example, “Holiday Spice” reminds people of warm reds, oranges, greens and browns, but perhaps but not navy blue. 2. Once you’ve chosen your colors, you want to decide which color or colors will be most predominant. Pick a botanical or a few botanicals in that color. It helps to pick a variety of sizes or textures to add visual interest to the display. For instance, if you want the base color to be white, you can choose white globe amaranths and white angel wings. Each is different in size, shape and texture. 3. Next, start choosing botanicals and spices and dried fruits from your other color groups. Remember to pick various shapes and sizes. For instance, if you are choosing browns, you will want to choose from a variety of cones, cinnamon sticks, nuts and pods. You may wish to add a highlight color to your mix such as gold, white, black or any other contrasting color. Choose a botanical that is bold and large like pomegranates, orange slices or gold amra nuts. You will only need a few pieces of this item. 4. Choose an appropriate fragrance. Putting It Together: 1. Place your base-colored botanicals in a large mixing container or bucket. If you are using more than one botanical for the predominant color, combine them one at a time, cup by cup, until you are pleased with the overall texture. Make a note of how many cups of each botanical you used so you can adjust the proportions as you go and be able to reproduce the mix again later. 2. Start adding the botanicals from your other color groups one at a time. Make sure to record how many cups of each botanical you used. Do not add the highlight botanical pieces yet because you will want to add these after you have packaged your potpourri so that they stand out. If it seems like your base color is overwhelmed by your other colors, (800) 520-2060 143 Botanicals and Potpourri (continued) go back and add more of the base color botanicals to bring it back into balance. Once you like the proportions of your botanicals, you are ready to add your fragrance. 3. The easiest easy way to add scent to the botanicals is to use a spray bottle and mix the botanicals as you spray them with essential or fragrance oil. 4. Allow the oil to soak in. Mix well without crushing the botanicals, and make sure that there are no pools of oil anywhere. Leave out delicate botanicals until after fragrancing your potpourri, or they will get crushed. Add them in carefully before packaging. 5. Now you are ready to package your potpourri. Cello bags are an attractive yet inexpensive way to package potpourri. A wide ribbon in one of your colors can be used to tie off the bag. Other packaging ideas include clear acetate boxes, glass apothecary jars or anything else that will show off the potpourri. Cardboard boxes with clear acetate covers are also nice and can be found through most packaging suppliers. Ribbons or natural raffia ties are a nice touch. Before sealing the package, add the highlight pieces one by one so they stand out where they can be seen against the packaging. Botanical and Potpourri Price List 8 oz. 1-4 lb. 5+ lb.

Sizes Make perfect soap loaves with our easy-to-use collapsible, wooden soap molds. To use, assemble the mold, making sure the fit is nice and tight. You should not have leakage problems if the mold is assembled tightly. If necessary, you can “putty” the inner corners of the molds with our soap putty (Please see the Melt and Pour Soap Bases section of our catalog) or soft handmade soap to prevent leakage. Lay one piece of wax paper inside the mold across the width, and another piece across the length. Crease the corners so the paper lays flat inside. You are now ready to pour the soap into the mold. Cover the soap loosely with plastic wrap or wax paper and cover with a towel or small blanket. To un-mold the loaf, simply undo the wing nuts and remove the walls. To clean the mold, scrape off the soap residue and wipe with a damp cloth, but do not immerse in water. When you are ready to cut your loaf, these loaves will fit right into our single slice loaf cutter. (The 6 lb. loaf will need to be cut in half first.) 2 Lb. Soap Log Size: 3.5 x 8 x 2.75 inches 4 Lb. Soap Log Size: 3.5 x 16 x 2.75 inches 6 Lb. Soap Log Size: 3.5 x 24 x 2.75 inches Grating, Grinding and Cutting Tools Soap Loaf Cutter with Cutting Blade Our 18” long soap loaf cutter will make 1” and 1 1/2” slices perfectly. Simply lay your loaf into the tray, adjust the stop to the slice thickness you want, push the soap up to the stop and then slice using the blade. The blade can be cleaned with warm water. Drum Grater Use this stainless steel drum grater to grate cocoa butter and other hard butters. The drum grater comes with both fine and coarse drums. For best results, your butter should be very hard. Butters can be set in the fridge to harden before grating. Mortar & Pestle This heavy stone mortar and pestle set is great for grinding herbs and salts. Cookware Universal Double Boiler Insert The double boiler insert is an indispensable tool for toiletry making. Most people don’t have a double boiler at home. Heating oils in cookware that sits directly on top of the heat source can overheat and destroy the beneficial properties of delicate oils and other ingredients. Microwaving can also overheat your ingredients. The advantage of using a double boiler or our double boiler insert is that it allows for more gentle heating of your ingredients. Double boilers typically are comprised of two stacking pots. Water is added to the bottom pot (the pot that sits directly on top of the heat source). Oils and your other ingredients are added to the top pot. The top pot rests slightly inside the bottom pot. The water in the bottom pot gently heats the ingredients inside the top pot. Double boilers, however, can be expensive and cumbersome to use and store. Our double boiler insert is an excellent, affordable alternative. This 18/10 stainless steel double boiler insert fits most household pots. It is the perfect solution to safely melt waxes, butters and solid oils without worrying about overheating. Thermometer, Stainless Steel This 12” thermometer is made out of stainless steel. It includes an adjustable clip and insulated handle. It measures temperatures ranging from 100-400 degrees F (40-200 degrees C). It is perfect for keeping an eye on your temperatures when making soap, creams, lotions and candles. 156 www.fromnaturewithlove.com Equipment (continued) Other Equipment Tea Lights Our small tea light candles are available individually or in packages of 10 and 100. Wooden Scoops Our wooden scoops hold approximately 1 tablespoon of salt or other ground/powdered ingredients. The scoop is 3” long. Tie these onto tin tie bags or jars using ribbon or raffia or include them in your gift baskets with salts and milk baths. Linen Wrap Cloth Our cotton linen wrap cloth is great for use in making body wraps. The linen wrap cloth comes in 6” x 12’ rolls. It is perfect for wrapping small sections at a time, and makes it easier to move while you’re wrapped. Unravel the roll into your solution, and wrap your body. Plastic Mud Wrap Sheet Our plastic disposable mud wrap sheets are easy to use. Apply mud to the body and then wrap up with the plastic sheet. The sheets help to keep you warm, and they help to keep drying mud from flaking onto your table, blanket, furniture or other items. Aluminum Pail Opener This aluminum opener makes it easy to open bulk ingredients that come in pails. Score your pail lid along the perforations and then use the pail opener to pry open the lid.
