Rosehip seed oil, need for different carrier oils, dissolving borax & msm question

<Hi Folks:

Carrier oils:  Love to see a good book about them!  Over the years I have

used numerous ones.  Everything from Evening Primrose for eczema formula, to

Avocado for luscious body oil, Grapeseed oil, which I don't use anymore due

to solvents being used to extract it.  Rosehip seed oil for mature and

scarring, still love it.  Jojoba, which went rancid on me when it was used

in an infusion that I worked my butt off on, Safflower, Camelina which I

like for a cheap oil to mix with. Have spent a fortune on EVOO for

infusions.>

 

 

Hi Deb, Have you seen Len Price's book on fixed oils? Title: Carrier Oils

for Aromatherapy & Massage.  It's the best one I've found. About 30 or so

profiles and chapters on chemistry of fixed oils, refining process, etc.

Updated reprint in 1999. There might be a more recent one out there by

someone else, but I'm not aware if so. You can check out index and some of

the chapters here http://tinyurl.com/y8vmahw

 

Be Well,

Wow, I had a peek inside this book on Amazon and I feel like I've

died and gone to heaven. Thanks, Marcia!

I liked it too but until it is back in print it is out of my range. I did find

a couple of websites with useful info (can't vouch for the accuracy of the info,

I am still a beginner).

Back to reading!
