And this lotion base has been developed using a different technology, so it's easy to use to create your recipes. Most lotion bases are pre-blends of water, oil, and emulsifying wax. Using emulsifying wax requires that the formula be heated to melt the wax and create the O/W bond. Those lotion bases tend to have a wax-like feel due to the emulsifying wax and often create drag on the skin and pilling after a second application. The viscosity (thickness) in your final product is adjusted by the amount of water and additives you include in your final formulation (which might mean a lot of tweaking!). Lotion Base CM is a totally cold process product because it does not contain waxes which need to be melted. The lotion base kit consists of two products: Lotion Base CM - a water-thin cream base and, Polymer SP - a cosmetic grade thickener, which has been pre-mixed with an emulsifier. No wax or alcohol! Your product is simply made by mixing 10% Lotion Base CM with 90% water (Distilled), which makes for a very cost effective formulation. After these two ingredients are blended, you can add up to 5% vegetable oils. Next, the thickener concentrate, Polymer SP, is added to your blended lotion base at levels of 3% - 9% to achieve a viscosity from very thin, like a body mist, to very thick, like a night cream. Finally, incorporate your preservatives, color and fragrance. Youve got a finished product in three easy steps! Yield: 1 Gallon Lotion Base CM makes 10 gallons of lotion 1 Quart of Polymer SP will thicken 10 gallons of lotion Lotion Base CM Pricing Starter Formulation WE SUGGEST ALWAYS STARTING WITH STERILIZED METAL OR GLASS BOWLS & METAL MEASURING & MIXING TOOLS, WORKING ON A COUNTER SPACE CLEANED AND WIPED WITH A LIGHT SOLUTION OF BLEACH IN WATER. We suggest using a digital scale to measure your components. Choose the batch size you wish to make from the table below. Set your scale for either ounce or gram measurements. Measure your ingredients in the quantities listed in either ounces or grams. Remember, all measurements are listed by weight, not by fluid ounces. Phase 1: Pre-mixing the Lotion Base CM Ingredients: Quart Batch 1/2 Gallon Batch Gallon Batch Oz Grams Oz Grams Oz Grams Water (Distilled water @ room temperature) 28 784 56 1568 112 3136 Lotion Base CM 3.25 91 6.5 182 13 364 Vegetable Oil (Sweet Almond, Olive, Apricot Kernel) 2 48 3.25 91 6.5 182 Preservative: Germaben II .35 oz 9 .70 oz 19 1.40 oz 39 Mix these products together for 2-3 minutes using gentle agitation with whisks or mixing spoon. The oil and water will not emulsify, but you want the mixture to be well blended. Phase 2: Preparing the Polymer SP Stir your container of Polymer SP well before portioning. Choose the amount of Polymer SP to add to your Phase 1 preparation, using the Consistency Table below to choose the end product you wish to make. IMPORTANT: You can always add more Polymer SP to increase thickness, but if you start TOO THICK, you will need to prepare another Phase 1 batch to re-balance your desired viscosity. So if you are not sure, add increments of the Polymer SP to achieve your desired consistency. PRODUCT CONSISTENCY TABLE (PER ONE GALLON BATCH) Add 3 oz Polymer SP for a very light lotion Add 5 oz Polymer SP for a normal lotion Add 7oz Polymer SP for a very light cream Add 9 oz Polymer SP for a night cream Phase 3: Blending Your Recipe Slowly pour a stream of your Polymer SP portion into your Phase 1 base, while continuously blending (a stick blender works well). You will notice the lotion start to thicken after mixing for about 2 minutes. Continue mixing for a full 5 minutes to ensure that Polymer SP is completely dispersed to activate the emulsifier and the thickener. When youve achieved your base consistency, add your preservative (listed in table above) , color and fragrance , and blend well. Your ready to package!

Dry skin - MayoClinic.com Dry skin ARTICLE SECTIONS Overview Signs and symptoms Causes Risk factors When to seek medical advice Screening and diagnosis Complications Treatment Self-care Overview Few things are more beautiful than healthy human skin. And few things are more burdened by symbolism or more wrapped up with people's identities. Qualities people attribute to skin — sensuality, youthfulness, vitality, beauty, even goodness — are also qualities they see in themselves. That skin often seems the outer reflection of the inner being may explain, at least in part, why problem skin is so distressing and why Americans spend billions of dollars a year on moisturizers and other cosmetics. Ordinary dry skin (xerosis) usually isn't serious, but it can be uncomfortable and unsightly, turning plump cells into shriveled ones and creating fine lines and wrinkles long before you're due. More serious dry skin conditions, such as the inherited group of disorders called ichthyosis, can sometimes be disfiguring and may cause psychological distress to people living with them. Fortunately, most dry skin results from environmental factors that can be wholly or partially controlled. These include exposure to hot or cold weather with low humidity levels and to wind, long-term use of air conditioning or central heating, excessive bathing, especially tub baths, and the use of strong soaps or detergents. Metabolic changes that occur with normal aging or with certain medical conditions also can affect the moisture content of your skin. Chronic or severe dry skin problems may require a dermatologist's advice. But you can do a lot on your own to improve your skin, including drinking more water, showering less, and above all, moisturizing, moisturizing, moisturizing.

Botox May Soothe Muscles

FOXNews.com - Health News - Botox May Soothe Muscles After a Stroke SEARCH E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY FOXFAN CENTRAL Botox May Soothe Muscles After a Stroke Monday, October 31, 2005 By Jennifer Warner LINKS The same Botox used to wipe out wrinkles may also soothe stiff, rigid muscles after a stroke. A new study shows that repeated Botox injections after a stroke may improve muscle tone and reduce pain in the hands and arms, making it easier for stroke patients to dress themselves and perform other daily activities. Researchers say up to 30 percent of stroke patients suffer from disabling muscle tightness, a condition known as muscle spasticity. When muscle spasticity affects the arms and hands, it makes it difficult for stroke patients to dress, wash, or feed themselves, and carry out other normal tasks. "If it isn't managed effectively, post-stroke spasticity can result in very disabling complications such as contractures, a condition that leaves the muscles and tendons permanently shortened," says researcher Allison Brashear, MD, in a news release. Brashear is a professor and chairwoman of neurology at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. "Early intervention with effective therapies is absolutely vital to prevent the profound disability that afflicts many stroke patients, and to lessen the emotional and financial toll on caregivers and the health care system as a whole," says Brashear. (Story continues below) ADVERTISEMENTS Advertise Here What Is a Stroke? Get the Facts Botox for Muscle Spasticity Previous studies have shown Botox injections reduced short-term muscle spasticity and pain after stroke, but researchers say this is the first study to look at the long-term effects of the treatment. In the study, presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Philadelphia, researchers treated 279 stroke patients with muscle spasticity in their arms and hands with up to five Botox injections delivered over the course of a year. Botox was injected at the wrist, thumbs, fingers, and elbows to block overactive nerve impulses that trigger excessive muscle contractions. The results showed that after six weeks of treatment, muscle tone in the affected areas was improved and the improvement was sustained throughout the study. Researchers also measured functional disability in four areas at the start of the study (hygiene, dressing, limb posture, and pain) on a four-point scale from “no disability” to “severe disability” and asked participants to identify which area was most important to them. The study showed that at least 50 percent of stroke patients experienced a one-point improvement in their targeted area. "The treatment resulted in sustained and meaningful functional improvement that makes a difference in the daily lives of stroke patients and the people who care for them," says Brashear. Seven percent of the participants reported side effects of the Botox treatment, including headache, pain in the arm, or a flu-like illness. Researchers say the results suggest that Botox may provide relief from poststroke spasticity with fewer side effects than currently available oral drugs, which are associated with side effects such as sedation, mental confusion, dizziness, and muscle weakness. The study was funded by the pharmaceutical company Allergan Inc., which developed Botox (botulinum toxin type A, BoNTA).
