We're proud of the free, EW University Newsletter...here is an excerpt: I can't even count how many times we wanted to quit in pursuit of the preservative system that we use for the Organically Preserved Products. Our journey to find a chemical free preservative system that would be stable for 2 years was a long one. Our path to achieve this preservative system is littered with hundreds of failed tests as evidenced by the mold, yeast, bacteria and fungus that we grew in many a test tube. We used every natural preservative known to man and put them to the test at various percentages. It would have been easy to give up and move on to other important Research and Development projects. After all, we had a giant whiteboard covered with notes about experiments and product ideas as well as our day to day QC jobs. But we were determined that there had to be a way that was truly and completely organic and natural. Our pursuit does not end with these products. We are diligently working towards more products, other categories and new methods of organic preservation.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hey, -- How well does your massage oil absorb?? I use fractionated coconut oil with just a bit of olive oil and a couple of vit. e caps?-- I like the fact that the frac absorbs into the skin, but I love how that touch of olive oil makes my skin feel.? Like you, I'm kind of a " little bit of this 'n that " kind of person with a lot of my stuff, so I can't give exact proportions.? I never thought about adding MSM and DMSO -- what a great idea, especially for those of us over 50! Thanks for the tip! Vicki in WA YooHoo Is there anyone out there? Did everyone go south for the winter? Surely someone has a question or suggestion, or made something they are proud of and want to share. This used to be a very active group. What happened? You all remember the library? Have you tried anything there and does it work or have you an improved recipe to share? I know the library hasn't been updated in awhile but that is because I wasn't around to do it. I'm back now and need content to add. Got any good marketing ideas? New ways to package? New uses for items? Anything helpful. Let's see if we can get this group motivated again. I'll start. I have a friend who is a physical/massage therapist and she has been giving me massages. I made some massage cream/oil or whatever for her to use on me. Main ingredient is coconut oil (it's solid at 72 degrees) about 1/2 cup. I added about 1 oz. emu oil, 2 teaspoons MSM powder and about 1/2 oz. DMSO (this will help the skin to absorb the good stuff). Then to make is smell good I added a few drops of Jasmin fragrance oil. Great stuff and really smelled good. Then I remembered that she doesn't like fragrance oils so made another batch. In this one I left out the emu oil (put it all in the first batch:) and added the contents of 2 gel caps of multivitamins, 2 of vitamin E, 3 capsules of Magnesium, along with the other stuff in the first batch. The magnesium was a tiny bit gritty but it did mostly dissolve. The little that was left made for just the right amount of friction to warm things up and I didn't feel it at all when she used it. This one didn't smell so nice (Multivitamins don't smell nice:) but it made a fantastic cream/oil for a massage. I'm a little dab of this and a little dab of that person so I don't really have an exact recipe. Maybe someday I'll right one. So, there is what I'm doing. Anyone else doing anything they want to share? Okie Vice Moderator (figuratively and literally:) ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
