Triethanolamine is used as a pH balancer in cosmetic preparations in a variety of different products - ranging from skin lotion, eye gels, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving foams etc. It is used widely in transparent soap. It is sometimes listed on the ingredient label as TEA. When used in lotion it acts as a moisturizing agent.

Triethanolamine is used as a surfactant (emulsifying agent), pH adjuster and as a fragrance ingredient. There have been no studies to show any link to cancer in the United States , however studies are still being conducted.

Black teas will sometimes cloud when cooled. The cloudiness is caused by tannins in the tea which are released into the hot brew but can bind together when the brew cools and cause cloudy tea. Higher quality teas like Darjeeling's and Assams tend to have more tannins and are more likely to cloud. Hard water can also cause tea to become cloudy. The cloudiness does not affect flavor just the appearance of the tea. To remove the cloudiness add a half cup of boiling water per gallon of tea and stir.

All of our soaps are moisturizing. They are all super-fatted, which means that a little oil is left in each bar that has not become soap. Each bar contains emollients such as shea butter, avocado oil, hemp seed oil and jojoba oil. Emollients soften and soothe the skin by coating it slightly to retain moisture. Additionally, Enchanted Waters soaps naturally contain glycerin, a marvelous moisturizer for skin because it attracts moisture from the air.

YES, for men and women! It's fast, easy and you may even get a better shave in the shower. After a few minutes in the warm water, your whiskers will be soft and your skin will be clean and well hydrated. Lather up any of our soaps with your hands, or if you prefer, use an old-fashioned shaving brush. All of our soaps are great for shaving and make an effective lubricant between the razor and your skin. Men; to shave your beard, turn away from the shower to face a fog-free mirror.

Yes, black, oolong, green and white tea all contain polyphenols. Polyphenols are potent antioxidants that are widely acclaimed to help improve the body's defenses and suppress free radical activity.

There is no wheat gluten in contact - or anywhere near - our tea. It is not run on the same machines, nor stored near our raw materials. Our tea is free from that particular allergen.

No, tea in its natural form (without added fruits, for example) does not have carbohydrates. Some of our teas like Berry Black or Lime Oasis, because they are fruits, are natural carbohydrates.

No - simple tea leaves do not contain calories, but when blended with fruits they will possess a small amount of caloric energy potential.

Caffeine is a natural component of the tea leaf, and, unless it is artificially removed, it is present to some extent in all tea. By comparison, it should be noted that tea in general contains significantly less caffeine than coffee. Most research suggests that the more oxidized (i.e.

All tea is produced from the leaves of the tea plant, a flowering evergreen shrub native to China and now grown in dozens of countries on several continents around the world. In the oldest and most famous book of tea -the "Tea Scripture"- written over 1,200 years ago, author Lu Yu describes tea as a "treasured plant from the south", and it is China's southwestern provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan which are generally regarded as the "birthplace of tea".

Green tea naturally has approximately 15 to 50 mg of caffeine per cup. Coffee has 80-200 mg/cup. Black Tea has 40-90 mg/cup.

All real tea contains caffeine unless the tea has been artificially decaffeinated. (The only exception to this rule is Japanese kokicha, made from stems of the tea plant. Its caffeine content is negligible.) Tea also contains a related chemical called theobromine, which has similar (slightly milder) effects on the body. The amount of caffeine in a cup of tea varies tremendously, depending on the variety of tea and the brewing time.

Tannins in tea are what give the tea the slightly astringent taste, especially when the tea is of poor quality or is brewed strong. Because Numi never uses the tea dust or "fannings," the teas are less bitter tasting. This is based on the commitment to use only the full tea leaf and highest quality teas in their blends.

According to various reports I've read from people who have kept Kombucha bottled for that length of time, they say it tastes smooth and mellow, and not the least bit vinegary.

A colony usually has to ferment for about 3 weeks in order to consume most of the sugar. (depending upon how much sugar was added at the start of fermentation.)

Olivus olive leaf tea has a unique taste. A light steeping delivers a satisfying mellow flavor. Longer steeping or brewing in a tea press creates a stronger, slightly bitter infusion than can be mellowed with a slice of fresh lemon, stevia, soy, milk, sugar and other herbal flavorings. Olivus olive leaf also blends well with Green and other teas and herbs. Olive leaf can also be delivered into your diet powdered, in capsules, liquid extract and applied to the skin topically.

Aloe Vera Oil benefits dry and cracked skin, burns, blisters, frostbite, insect bites, and allergic reactions. The oils allows for the highest concentrations of the natural healing agent delivered directly to your skin and scalp. Is a golden brown pine tar produced according to the old kiln method from stumps of the pine tree Pinus Silvestris,. Also known as "peasant made" tar.

We use ultramarines and iron oxides for our colorants. We never use FD&C colorings in any of our products. All of the colors in the soaps are all scented the same. For instance, with lavender-mint the blue is not lavender and the green is not mint. The same goes for sandalwood-citrus. Both colors are scented the same.

A.--That is one of the things my soaps are known for. When I develop a new recipe, one of the first things I look for is a good, fluffy lather. If the finished soap doesn't lather well, I will work with the recipe until it does.

Although I found I could not prevent new acne with any special soaps, skin products, or additional cleansing of the skin, my dermatologist recommended using a hypo-allergenic non-irritating soap to not cause any additional burning sensation on skin areas already broken out.

Yes. Our Extra Gentle Line is especially mild and wonderful for babies skin, but does not have the chemicals which are added to commercial soap that produce a 'no more tears' effect. So, be careful to keep it out of your baby's eyes.

Handmade bar soaps are the mildest form of soap that can be made. Raising their free oil content by using added cocoa, shea, mango avocado, or other vegetable butters, hemp, black seed or other light oils at 1% to 3%, will enhance the "hand lotion in soap effect". Be sure to use extra rosemary extract to preserve free oils. Aloe vera, comfrey, milk proteins, oatmeal, beta glucans proteins etc. contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients that help soothe irritated skin.

No. A deodorant soap is a cosmetic product intended for washing the body to eliminate odours. A deodorant soap may or may not contain an ingredient that kills or inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria.

Unlike vermicompost, compost tea does not have a long shelf life. The more quickly it is used, the greater its potency. If you must store it, keep it in a shaded area with ventilation.

Each tin of Dreamsweet Organic Medicinal Tea contains 16 ounces of tea (priced and sold by volume, not weight) and is enough to make anywhere from 30 - 40 cups of tea. The potency of the herbs contained in each tea are good for one year.

Well, this is always the great debate. I like my tea strong, as in if it disolves the spoon, it's still a little weak. Other people I know like to preserve their stomachs. So, lets just say I give enough for one really strong cup, or 2-3 regular ones. I'd rather give you too much than not enough.
