Cancer Formulas

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have not sent these out in a while but thought they might be of help again to

others. These are used for chemo and radiation patients as well as anyone with

really dry skin. Simple formulas that are based with the use of whole oils and

no added synthetic items. There is a broad spectrum preservative needed in any

lotion or cream, but that is a given to make a product that keep well. I just

prefer not to get into using the synthetic ingredients that we see in the mass

marketed products.

 

These are just a few formulas and info about products that I started making for

my sister, other cancer patients and myself. I hope that they are of help to

you whether you are making them for other patients or your self. My Prayer is

that they will be of joy for you.

 

Any aromas are hard for those having to endure chemo or radiation or both and

that includes even the smell of foods, so it will be hard even with using

infused herbs to know what people will be able to tolerate and not tolerate. If

you wish to make something that will be good for the skin there are a few

formulas below that I still make for my sister, myself and friends that are

going through treatments and those that are done with them. I usually use no

aromas, even EO’s in them, but if I do in a lotion, it is a very light hand so

that it will not be to much for them. I have also found that just adding a few

drops of Lemongrass to the EO’s can help with making them more tolerable for the

senses for those of us that are super sensitive to aromas. I did find that even

though I was very sensitive to aromas, those EO’s like Lemongrass, Lavender,

Rose Geranium and many mixtures of EO’s I enjoyed very much and found that it

helped to keep a tiny bottle on hand to sniff when I was in a place that there

was an aroma that was making me feel sick.

 

Because the body is already being inundated with some major drugs and/or

radiation, the use of other synthetics to the skin is not what should be done.

This is my opinion, but then I don’t care for the synthetic feel good quickie

stuff that is in the mass marketed products and has found their way into our

industry as well. They do not have the lasting value for the skin like good

whole oil/butters and vitamin/herbal filled products can. Yes we need a broad

spectrum preservative if we wish to make a product, i.e. lotion or cream, etc.

that is water based. There is not such thing as a fully broad spectrum

preservative that is “natural”. Such a tiny amount of preservative is needed to

give a shelf life from 6 months to 2 years. I usually put a shelf life of 6

months and strongly recommend to my customers that they use it within that time

frame, but they mostly use it well before that date and call needing more. I

also recommend that when making any lotion/cream, no matter who it is for, to

make it fresh so that it will be fresh and have a good shelf life. Put the date

that it was made on the label in the bottom corner as a reference for yourself

if you do happen to keep a bottle or so because you made a little more.

 

 

You can use liquid silk if you don't have silk fibers and I use about 1 to 1 1/2

oz. for this size batch. I also have made these with several different very

strong herbal teas. One fav is Calendula, Chamomile, Lavender and Comfrey Root

as the tea and also taking some of each herb and powdering and sifting it and

adding to the oils as they are warming.

 

The soap below is a soap that I made for my sister back in 2001 when she was

diagnosed. It is still her fav and the fav of several other cancer patients as

well.

 

 

Kathy's Sheaemol Luxry Bar #3

Castile Type

Fits Medium Slab Mold and #6 Log

 

4 oz. Emu Oil (unrefined)

10 oz. Shea Butter (unrefined)

14 oz. Coconut Oil

14 oz Palm Kernel

43 oz. Olive Oil

 

Pinch of Silk Fibers (added to the lye water right after adding the lye. Stir

well to dissolve the fibers) (optional)

1 Tbsp. of Honey (added in the middle)

1.5 Tbsp. Vitamin E (added at trace mix with FO or EO)

1 oz. Evening Primrose Oil (added at trace mix with FO or EO)

 

28 oz. Distilled water or 2/3 water and 1/3 milk

11.50 oz. Lye (approx 8% superfatting)

 

This is a variation of the first Cocoa/Shea soap that I made when I was first

diagnosed. This has become a fav of mine as well as others.

 

 

TLC Soaps and Sundries

Cocoa/Shea Butter Dream Soap

Fits #3 Log Mold

 

1 oz. Castor Oil

10 oz. Palm Kernel

6 oz. Cocoa Butter

6 oz. Unrefined Shea Butter

16 oz. Olive Oil

 

1 oz. Evening Primrose (add at trace)

1 oz. Sweet Almond (add at trace)

1 Tbsp. Vitamin E (add at trace)

I mix these with the EO or FO I am using, if I use one. But mostly I make it

without any scent added.

 

5.20 oz. Lye (approx 8% superfatting)

12 oz. Water or water/milk

 

 

This if a Lotion that I made to go with the Cocoa/Shea Soap. I really love this

one and made a large amount before all my surgeries and treatments and it is

still a great enjoyment for me to use as well as make for others.

 

TLC Soaps and Sundries

Cocoa/Shea Butter Aloe Lotion

Extra Rich

 

Approx 17 oz

 

Liquid Phase

 

6 1/2 oz. Distilled Water

6 1/2 oz. Aloe Vera Juice

1 tsp. Liquid Silk Amino Acids

1/4 tsp. Glycerin

1/4 tsp. Germall Plus Powder Preservative

 

Oil Phase

 

1/2 oz. E-Wax

1 oz. Stearic Acid

1 oz. Fractionated Coconut Oil

1/2 oz. Meadowfoam Seed Oil

1/4 oz. Emu Oil

1/4 oz. Evening Primrose

1/4 oz. Shea Butter (unrefined)

1/4 oz. Cocoa Butter

1/2 tsp. Jojoba

 

Add these to the oils if you like or after mixing the liquid and oil phase

together

1/2 Tbsp. Vitamin E

5 to 7 squeezed capsules of Vitamin A & D

 

This was a hard one to break down from the gallon size that I originally

formulated, but is as close as I can get it and makes a wonderful lotion in this

amount as well. I do not scent this one but one could use just a few drops of

Lavender EO or other Essential Oils of choice but make sure to use a light hand

as many going through cancer treatment find scents hard to handle at times.

 

Heat the Oil Phase and the Liquid Phase separately. I only heat the Liquid

Phase to about 120° or so and add my Glycerin and the Preservative to it. I mix

everything together when they are at about 120° or so and use a Wire Whisk that

is just used for making Lotions, Creams, etc. to help the emulsion. Because

this is such a small batch the Stick Blender that I use when making a gallon or

2 will not work, but the Wire Whisk will do fine. Hand stir it as well with a

rubber spatula that is only used when making Lotions, Creams, etc. and use a

cool water bath to help it cool down faster, I do that with all my batches.

 

This is an Extra Rich thick formula and is more for those with extra dry skin

and is very good for those going through Chemo to help with the dryness that

those drugs cause and the burning that Radiation can cause as well. The

addition of the Vitamins to the formula is just one of the helpers and my

feedback is that it is the addition most favored as the results in time were

much more favorable. There are several other ways that I used this formula

including Herbal Infusions with the water and/or Aloe Juice and making herbal

oils using this basic formula. So you can add your own touches, as you like by

using the herbs that you would like to add. Make sure though not to use herbs

that are astringent as the skin that is extremely dry does not need those

properties.

 

A favorite combo is Rose Petals, Lavender Buds, Calendula Blossoms, Comfrey Root

and Leaf, Oatstraw and Marshmallow Root made into a very strong tea and added as

part of the water for the Lotion along with Aloe Juice.

 

 

 

TLC Skin Loving Lotion #1

 

First make a mixture of the EO's below. Put them in glass, Amber or Cobalt Blue

if you have it. If not a clear glass will be fine and just cover the glass to

keep it out of light. Allow these to marry for several hours at least and if you

have time allow them to marry for 48 hours before using.

 

1 part Lavender

1 part Chamomile

1 part Tea Tree

1/2 part Ylang Ylang

1/2 part Patchouli

If you have any Rose Otto on hand a few drops of that is good also.

 

13 oz. Distilled Water

1/2 oz. E-Wax

1 oz. Stearic Acid

3/4 oz. Coconut

1/2 oz. Sweet Almond

1/2 oz. Neem

1/2 oz. Emu

1/4 oz. Jojoba

1 tsp. Calendula infused oil

1/4 tsp. Glycerin (optional)

4 to 6 capsules of Vitamin A & D

1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of Vitamin E

Use about 1/8 tsp of the EO mixture or a bit more or less if you like.

 

 

This is a newer formula that I made a few batches of and it did so well for a

few ladies, I thought it would be a good one for others as well. Just a simple

1 herb formula.

 

Calendula Body Lotion

 

Liquid Phase

7 oz. Aloe Juice

6 oz. Calendula Water

1 tsp. Liquid Silk Amino Acids

1/4 tsp. Vegetable Glycerin (optional)

1/4 tsp. Germall Plus Powder (preservative)

OR

1/2 tsp. Germall Plus Liquid

 

1/2 oz. Emulsifying Wax

1 oz. Stearic Acid

1/2 oz. Coconut Oil

1/2 oz. Evening Primrose Oil

1/2 oz. Sweet Almond

1/2 oz. Emu

1/2 oz. Meadowfoam Oil

1 tsp. Calendula infused oil

 

4 to 6 squeezed capsules of Vitamin A & D

1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of Vitamin E or 3 to 6 1000 I.U. capsules squeezed into the mix

 

 

 

 

 

This is a formula that has not water in it and because of that I do not use any

preservatives.

 

TLC Soaps and Sundries

Whipped Velvet Body Butter #3

 

1 oz. Meadowfoam Seed Oil

1 oz. Jojoba

1 oz. Evening Primrose Oil

1 oz. Sweet Almond Oil

1 1/2 oz. Shea Butter (Unrefined Golden Yellow)

1 1/2 oz. Cocoa Butter

3 oz. Stearic Acid

 

1 tsp. Vitamin E or 6 1000 I.U.s squeezed into the mixture

10 squeezed capsules of Vitamin A & D Oil

You can use a bit of Lavender Essential Oil if you like or just leave it

natural. The natural warm aroma of the Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter are very

nice in this one.

I really appreciate the list you have given out. I could have used

these for a family member that just passed away and we never even

thought that a milder type of soap would have given them more comfort.

I lived too far away to see them so did not pick up on it but you have

made me come to see things in a different light and as soon as I get

the courage back to making soap I will give your recipes a try so I

have some on hand for another who is in need.

 

Thank you for your thoughtfullness.
