Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 > Hi All, I just obtained a bottle of blond tobacco concrete from Liberty Natural yesterday. It is bulgarian in origin and very cost effective. Something like 10$/ounce. I was playing with it a little last night. I blended a single drop (maybe a little less) in 15ml of cottonwood-infused almond oil base (I know, I know, some of you are thinking that almond oil will go rancid too soon, but cottonwood is an amazing plant - it has the ability to preserve vegetable oil for up to a decade). Then I added Blugarian Lavender Concrete (8 drops) followed by a drop of Dalmation Sage EO (I feel that 2 drops would have destroyed this blend), topped it off with Blood Orange EO (10 drops) and tangerine for tang (3 drops.) I have to say that the lavender concrete is gorgeous, heavy, and quite jasmine-like when paired with the honey-vanilla cottonwood base. > I don't know if I like the sage or not in this blend - I think that I will experiment subbing blue tansy, or some other artemesia . Clary sage perhaps. Suggestions Anyone? Oh ya, back to my original point - the Bulagarian Lavender Concrete is nicotine free. I know from my work in biology labs that pure nicotine is pure poison, higly irritant to the skin as well. So I'd say that for the price you should look into this concrete. In regards to whether the dried tobacco from the asian market is heavily sprayed, I'd say you'll probably never know. However, tobacco is known to need lots and lots of fertilizer because it quickly strips the soil. So I would say that nitrates and phosphates are a very real possibility. As for how nitrates and phosphates react in tincture, I do not know. Jess Ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
