This enables the grain to readily absorb liquid. When the colloidal oatmeal is added to bath water, it

moisturizing, softening, and protecting it. The emollient, or skin-softening, properties of oat products
come from ingredients in the oatmeal such as cellulose and fiber.

aroma which prevents rancidity in products in which vegetable/plant oils have been used.
This product is made up of oil soluble antioxidant compounds and is not soluble in water.
It has no additives, it is made of 100% rosemary oleoresin. How To Use: Use ½ to 1 gram of
pure ROE per Kg of oil in your recipe or product. (1 tsp. to 1 tbsp. for each 10 Kg or 22 lb.
batch). If you dilute the ROE in oil it makes it much easier to handle and to disperse. Should
the oil/ROE mixture solidify, place the bottle in a pan of warm water to melt it.
Diluting ROE in Oil: Dissolve 4 tbsp. of the ROE in ½ cup of vegetable oil. Add 1/4 - 1 tsp. of
this dilution per 2 lbs. of oil; however, users have been successful using ½ tsp. per pound.
Warm oil is better for prompt dilution. However, the dilution can also be refrigerated for up
to 30 days and will remain at full strength. A 22 lb. batch of soap requires anywhere from 1.5
to 3 tbsp. of the dissolved ROE. The antioxidant compounds in ROE are resistant to lye;
therefore, you may add the ROE to the soap batch before saponification or at trace. However,
ROE is best dispersed if added to the oils at the time they’re being prepared and not at trace.
Other Uses: ROE is also used in making lotions, creams and salves. Add in same proportions
as used in soapmaking and add to the oil before the emulsification step for lotions. When
making salves and balms, add ROE to the melted oils. Clean-Up: You will find ROE is extremely
sticky. Wash all implements used in warm soap & water. Precautions: Use gloves, as ROE can
be a skin irritant for some people. Keep away from eyes; should it fall in the eyes, flush with
plenty of clean water and seek medical attention.

Vitamin E – Natural (Tocopherol) - Natural (D-alpha tocopherol form) is extracted by
a specific process from vegetable oils, mainly from sunflower oil (GMO-free). It is a yellow
to red viscous liquid with a characteristic herbaceous odor. This form of Vitamin E is insoluble
in water, freely soluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform, ether and vegetable oils, and is free
of foreign matter. Vitamin E –Natural is an “active” cosmetic ingredient which is a highly efficient
moisturizing component and mainly acts as an anti-oxidizing agent, helping to minimize lipid
peroxidation. May also be used to stabilize oils to prevent their oxidation. D-Alpha-tocopherol is
the most active form of vitamin E in humans, and is a powerful biological antioxidant. This isomeric
form of natural vitamin E is recognized to be twice more biologically active than the equivalent
synthetic form. Free radicals scavenger protects from UV radiation effects. Main applications in
skincare, sun care products, pharmaceutical & food industries. However, D-alpha tocopherol has
the highest potency and is the standard by which all others are measured.
