"Where are you buying the 5-fold essential oils from.  I would be interested in them.  My scrubs are not as citrus as I would like too!    This would solve my problem.   Thanks. "

Clay Masks

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I can use powdered buttermilk from the grocery store to add to my dry clay facial formula.   I think the whole powdered milk is OK, as it does not have to be refrigerated.   The buttermilk powder reads "refrigerate after opening".   I really like the feel of it, but if I am going to sell it, it has to be safe.   Maybe buying from a wholesaler would be better. See More

Mary Humphrey replied to the discussion 'Scale'
"When calculating formulas, I find it best to use a scale that breaks the weight down to the smallest increments, .001 (or better).  The problem with these scales is that they may error out when weighing heavier amounts (above 8 pounds, for…"
