This Forum is designed for like minded individuals to come together, share remedies & care for others finding skin conditions a challenge to handle. Since curing myself from Eczema & putting TMBABW together, we have received so many inspiring, wonderful & helpful tips from our lovely customers with regards to how they managed to overcome their own challenges. I think it would be wonderful to care & share such valuable info on this Forum. Unfortunately, because of confidentiality I cannot copy these emails to this Forum. Please also feel welcome to offer feedback with regards to natural & organic skin care items you think are worth writing about (or not!). All my best, Angie.

Re: Pls Help. Sensitive skin on face.

I have two young boys who have very sensitive skin. For the last five years I have been using Shea Butter based products, which I have found reduces the sensitivity and provides deep long lasting moisture to the skin.

Deborah


Another vote for shea butter based products.

Vitamin E & Wheatgerm are not preservatives. Vitamin E is an antioxidant.

Re: soap and water??

Hi Tinkerbell, by all means, carry on, if your skin is happy? I always say, if your skin is happy, do not change your routine. But, for me, I find that soap V decyl glucoside based facial washes, the latter win for me. Soap, somehow, seems to strip my facial natural oil (sebum) so it tends to pr...

Re: Question about Soap Manufacturing

Angie has given a good description on which "salts" to use in soapmaking. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is much softer than Sodium hydroxide (NaOH). NaOH is normally used in making bars of soap whilst KOH is normally used in making liquid soap. However, I have combined these two in the past...

Re: Soap Pods

Hi Akua Wood, Can i ask you a couple of questions? Do they smell that bad (I do love the smell of ylang ylang), how many washes do you get from them and do the ‘soapup’ the water, I am just wondering if you get the same effect form just washing your cloths in water without any cleaner? As my clot...
