Download Recipe Card for your own SALVE Aromatherapy Body Mist

Ingredients & Supplies:
2 SALVE Essential Therapy Roll-On Vials
  (any combination, choose from 10 essential oils)
1/4 C unflavored vodka
1/2 C distilled water
1 small 8 oz spray/mist bottle
  (cleaned and disinfected)

Directions:
Unless you’re using a new spray/mist bottle, you must first disinfect the bottle by using hot water and soap, or a gentle water and bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to completely dry.

To begin, empty the contents of any 2 SALVE Essential Therapy Roll-On Oils into the bottle. Select any combination or two of the same.

Follow by adding the vodka. Close the bottle and shake vigorously. Then open to add distilled water, closing again and shake vigorously.

Remember oil and water separate, so adding vodka (the alcohol) will allow for this mixture to emulsify, which means the essential oils will distribute more evenly when sprayed.

Your body mist is now ready! Shake before each use. (Not recommended for linen/pillow mist because of the oil ratio content.)

P.S. For bug repellent spray, mix Lemongrass, Lavender and Clove.

  • [CHAPTER 9] What is mineral oil? What is baby oil?
    What's wrong with baby oil if it's made for babies? Mineral oil is incredibly inexpensive to produce because it’s left over liquid from the drilling process and it’s abundant. It actually costs more for mineral oil to be disposed of, so these drilling companies sell it to other market segments with nice brand appeal.When you apply baby oil or mineral oil to your skin, it essentially ... read more ...
     
  • What is Vitamin E?
    Vitamin E is fat-soluble vitamin (the most abundant antioxidant stored in body fat) and is found in a variety of natural sources such as vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, dark green leafy vegetables and whole grains. Vitamin E is primarily used as an antioxidant to protect cells against free radicals. With regard to skin care, vitamin E is listed simply as “tocopherol.” It is used as an antioxidant to protect skin against pollutants and help prevent premature aging. It aids in protecting the skin and prevents... read more ...
     
  • Using Clay as an Alternative to Shampoo

    Clays have been used around the world for centuries as cosmetic tools as well as medicinal aids. As of late, research has shown the effectiveness of clay making it increasingly popular for health, skin-care and scalp conditions. Clays are used to absorb excess dirt, oil and toxins from the skin while simultaneously exfoliating and improving skin circulation.

    For the hair and scalp, clays remove dirt, oil and build-up with out stripping the hair. It also provides moisture removing the need to add a conditioner. Some clays, such as bentonite, can even be ingested internally to help detoxify the body of harsh chemicals and provide calcium to the bones. Still not sold on using clays in your hair?  read more ...

Mom's secret to staying wrinkle-free

"Moisturize. Moisturize. Moisturize. Always have something on your face," she says. Since I can remember, I always seemed to find my mom slathering something on her face and neck every morning and every night. She also avoided the sun and always wore a hat. Little did I know, she found the secret to staying wrinkle-free.

She also insists that any moisturizer should be applied from the outside of the eye in toward the nose and not the other way around. She always used her ring and middle finger to gently dab under the eyes.

Using "fatty" creams is the way to go. Look for nut and plant-based creams that are protein-enriched and contain vitamin-boosting ingredients. Keeping the skin moisturized keeps the sebum on the skin balanced, and helps to maintain elasticity.

We’ve all heard of the word collagen. Collagen, in this case, is a protein that makes our skin have a supple and youthful texture and appearance. The dermis layer is the layer below the epidermis and houses collagen, elastin and fibrillin which all make the skin feel elastic yet firm. With age, these characteristics break down and cause wrinkles and loose skin. Learn more about the skin layers.



QUICK FACT:

Menthol crystals come from freezing the base concentrate oil from the mint. It is commonly applied to cosmetics, salves and balms, which are created to assist in coughs, congestion, upper respiratory problems and the flu.

Handling even the smallest quantities of menthol crystals can be quite dangerous, as it can actually cause pain and burning on the skin, and can even "burn" through rubber gloves. Menthol crystals are safest in small quantities when  diluted or blended with other ingredients. You should always avoid ingesting menthol because it is considered toxic, and can cause nausea, vomiting, pain, drowsiness, convulsions, coma and even death.

The menthol crystals we use are 100% naturally derived, and carefully crafted from Mentha arvensis (wild mint) essential oil extraction. We use it in our Breathe Deeply Emergency Salve, Refresh Hydrating Mist, Hint of Mint Organic Bar Soap, and our Vapor Detox Soak.

Always follow instructions and read warnings carefully before using any product with menthol.
