BODY SCRUB AND INSTRUCTIONS

Your skin sheds 30,000 to 40,000 dead cells per minute, but sometimes this natural shedding isn't
enough. If you don't remove dead skin cells, dirt and debris can become trapped in your pores.
Dead cells that have been on the surface of your skin are duller and dryer than the newer cells
underneath.

Exfoliating your entire body can help prevent body acne in many places below your neck, such
as the chest, back, and arms. It also helps you avoid ingrown hairs by preventing dead skin cells
from plugging up follicles where you've shaved or waxed. It assist in evening out skin tone and
keeps your skin hydrated and soft.
Don't scrub on a daily basis. People with normal or dry skin need to exfoliate only once or twice
a week. Keep in mind that the purpose of exfoliating is to remove skin cells that are dead. You
shouldn't have to scrub too hard or too often to make that happen. If you do, you're likely to take
off healthy cells, too, which might leave your skin looking red and feeling sore. Rubbing the
particles firmly but gently on your skin in circular motions should be enough to get the job done.
When exfoliating less is more. Use only a small amount of exfoliatant and take time to really
gently scour your skin in circular motions; if you take a large dollop, the exfoliatant will grind
against itself instead of your skin and you will not receive the benefits. You may exfoliate when
the skin is dry or exfoliate after you have damped your skin (this is up to your personal preference).
After showering off residue be sure and GENTLY pat your skin dry. Exfoliating will help prime
your skin to soak up the benefits of your favorite lotion or cream so don’t skip this step. If your
skin will be exposed to the sun, add sunscreen 20 to 30 minutes before you head outside. Sunscreen
is always a good idea, and it’s particularly important after exfoliating, which exposes fresh new
skin that's especially prone to sun damage.

DO NOT Exfoliate after shaving

DO NOT Exfoliate after Sun Tanning (after a Spray Booth Tanning, after using a tanning booth, or
after lying in the sun).

 SUGAR VS. SALT (body scrub Base)
SUGAR
Sugar in General is gentler on the skin than Salt and should be used in Scrubs for persons with
extremely sensitive skin. Sugar doesn't have the muscle relaxing qualities that Salt does; BUT,
with the circular motion of scrubbing, sugar scrubs do increase circulation. Also, some people just
like the color and smell.

Organic Turbinado Sugar

Produced from the first crystallization of sugar cane. A minimally processed sugar with a hint
of Organic molasses. A more gentle scrub.

Organic Coconut Sugar

From the flower buds of the coconut tree, this is a Blonde Coconut sugar with no additives of
any kind. A more gentle scrub.

SALT
Traditional scrubs are formulated with salts as they have muscle relaxing qualities, minerals and
trace elements, and are ideal exfoliate's.

Hawaiian Red Salt

A natural, unprocessed salt high in calcium, magnesium, potassium and copper. The distinctive
color comees from purified red Hawaiian clay; volcanic red clay is high in iron oxide. It exfoliates
and detoxifies the skin.

Himalayan Pink salt

Rich in mineral content which includes 84 minerals and trace elements: calcium, magnesium,
potassium, copper and iron. Himalayan Pink salt is also recognized for it lovely pink color and
therapeutic properties. It balances the body's pH and increased circulation and conductivity. Also
known to assist in relieving arthritis.
Object 1

Kosher Sea Salt

A natural product from the Mediterranean Sea. “Mined from the ground or obtained through
evaporated sea water. One of the first salts ever used to formulate body scrubs. For making home
made scrubs this is the least expensive of the Salts.

 Essential Oil and Fixed Oils
Some of the differences

There are differences between the “Fixed Oils” (aka Carrier Oils) and volatile plant oils. Fixed
oils do NOT evaporate. Plant Essential Oils DO evaporate because they are Volatile.

Fixed oil will leave a permanent oil mark on paper because of there lubricating quality and low
volatility.

Essential oils do not leave an oily mark on paper (although if there is color to the oil the color
present will leave a stain).

Fixed oil are Not soluable in Alcohol.

Most Essential oils are soluable in Alcohol

Fixed oil have low volatility, Essential are volatile .

Fixed oils have high viscosity. Essential oils have low viscosity.

The aroma of fixed oils are weak. Essential oil aroma is strong.

Fixed oils can be solvent or cold expressed. Essential oils are distilled or Expressed

 Additives to Body Scrubs, Other

ORGANIC COFFEE

Topically Applied coffee helps to redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of
cellulite. It acts as a vasorestritor, tighting and shrinking blood vessels thereby helping
eliminate varicose vein. The main chemical in coffee is caffeine, a natural antioxidant.
Antioxidants neutralize the effects of free radicals, when a coffee body scrub is applied, the
skin aborbs this.

ORGANIC VANILLA SPECKS

There are no real therapeutic benefits to Organic Vanilla Speck – it's simply a scent for
your Body Scrub.

ORGANIC VEGETABLE GLYCERINE

This particular Organic Vegetable Glycerine is soy derived. Glycerine is an emollient

which assist in the spreadability of the body scrub. Glycerine is a preservative.

 ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY
Safety first: ALWAYS GLOVE UP before mixing formulations!

Always do a skin test!

Adulterated or synthetic oils have risk of irritation.

Some books recomemend that essential oils be used “neat” on the skin. Essential oils are never to be
used “neat” unless you have had training (chemistry, botany, and aromatherapy) and experience with the
oils.

Blending: Basis dilution for EO's that are applied to the skin should never exceed 1% unless the
formulation has been prepared by a trained Aromatherapist

When using Organic carrier oils it is imporant that the end user is not sensitive to “nuts” or “latex”.

Great care must be taken when using Carrier oils (aka Fixed Oils) and Essential oils during pregnancy as
many have a stimulating effect on the uterus.

Essential oil's can be transfer from the mother milk to the baby when nursing – so avoid use when
nursing.

Many essential oils will remove the finish when spilled on furniture!

Keep all EO bottles tightly closed to prevent evaporation and oxidation. Store in cool dark area.

Be aware of all the medications you are taking – many Essential oils will negate your medication or
cause other problems.

DO NOT drink alcohol when using Essential Oils!!!

Ignorance is Bliss? Much of the misnaming of oils for aromatherapy comes through ignorance on the part
of the supplier. Occasionally a supplier sells an expensive fixed oil, such as evening primrose, as an
essential oil, putting it into a small bottle with an integral dorpper and within an essential oil price range.
Unfortunately, aromatherapy is a popular bandwagon to jump on, and the very word has selling power,
being used by the unscrupulous, sometimes at the expense of the unwary honest dealer. Standardized oils
are cheap and easy to obtain, unlike the genuine unadulterated essential oils necessaray for aromatherapy.

Essential Oil Quality

Genuine aromatherapeutic essential oils

For therapeutic purposes the quality and wholeness of any essential oils used are of
paramount importance, irrespective of cost, whereas when used in the flavour and fragrance
industries the price, taste and aroma are the most important considerations; for them
standardized essential oils are necessary to ensure repeatability and a consistent quality.

Quality variation
Variation in the quality of an essential oil may be natural or due to human intervention. Wine is
a comemodity which is expected to have a different taste and character from year to year,
although harvested, processed and bottled at the same vineyard and from the same vines. Plants
are subject to varing amounts of sunshine, frost, rain, heat or cold each year, and it is these
factors, plus the comeposition of the soil, which are responsible for the variations in quality and
comeposition (and therefore the aroma) of the plant extracts, occurring naturally from year to
year.

Synthetic materials, adulteration

Traders in essential oils may add cheaper oils or synthetics to the genuine oils, in order to
maintain the same standard taste, aroma, and price level for successive repeat deliveries to the
same customer. The need of the flavour and food industries are today so great that there are
scarely enough natural products in the world to meet the demand, and even where available
some products are just too expensive for their purposes comepared with synthetics. The
aromatherapist, however, needs above all to acquire the natural physicochemical characteristics,
whatever the variation from harvest to harvest.
Essential oils are made up of a vast array of natural chemicals, most of which are found in
more than one oil. It is a fairly simple matter for the chemist to remove a desired constituent from
a cheap oil and add it to an expensive oil, or to sell a modified 'pure' oil to an unsuspecting
customer for a high price. Adulteration also takes place when a synthetic isolated is added,
especially to one of the costly oils such as rose otto, when synthetic phenyl ethyl alcohol
(occurring naturally in rose otto) is used as the adulterant. Natural identical products are
manufactured in a laboratory and are simply synthetic copies of ingredients found in nature.
Alcohol, and occasionally a small amount of vegetable oil, which are both good solvents of
essential oils, are used to adulterate, stretch or cut Nature's gifts, and many descriptive words are
used to justify the standardization sometimes necessary in the fragrance and food industries.
'Certain suppliers with highly developed imagination will even use the term “ennobling” for the
disfiguration of an essential oil' (Arctendar 1960). With some oils it is almost standard practice to
adulterate, e.g. the use of PEG (polethylene glycol) to extend lavender essential oil.

Imitations
Expensive essential oils such as Melissa officinalis [melissa] and Aloysia triphylla [Lemon
verbena] are often imitated by the perfume industry by using blends of cheaper oils to stimulate
the aroma; to the perfumer, the aroma is the most important asset of an 'essential oil', not whether

Ego Hour, Inc. 09/21/2012 8 Chere McCoy ICA

it is natural, adulterated or synthetic. Tisserand and Bales (1995 p 177) say that Aloysia triphylla
should not be used in therapy, but this advised is based on test carried out at 12% using
fragrance quality oils (Opdyke 1992). Most oils named lemon verbena are blends of lemon,
citronella, lemongrass etc., as the genuine oil is expensive; these 'made up' verbena oils are likely
to be phototoxic and are also skin sensitizers because of the high citral content in the oils from
which they have been constructed. However, the genuine oil, which has a similary concentration
of citral to the above oils does not irritate the skin (Schnaubelt 1998 p. 117) – a good reason for
not using industrial quality essential oils therapeutically!

Deterpenized Oils
Essential oils used in fragrance industry often have their terpenes partly or wholly removed on
account of their insolubility in alcohol, which would result in cloudiness – a distinct comemercial
and asthetic disadvantage in a perfume! The deterpenized oil is incomeplete and contains in
higher proportions the remaining consituents of the oil, for example the deterpenization of
peppermint increases the content of the possibly hazardous ketone menthone. In aromatherapy
there is no necessity for this and it is imperative not to interfere with the natural balance of the
essential oil. Some therapist purchase bergapten-free bergamot oil, as this constituent (a
furanocourmarin) can be responsible for phototoxicity of the skin in sunlight, but this is
unnecessary.

Contaminants
The majority of essential oils are produced for use by the food and fragrance industries which,
generally speaking, are not concerned whether or not fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides may be
present in the oil. Stewart (2004 p. 10) says that herbicides, fungicides and pesticides are
intrinsically toxic and inevitably end up as contaminants in the oils, directly affecting their efficay
and safety.
comemerial grade oils can present toxic effects as a result of adulteration, folding, strechting
etc. to which they are subjected in order to have:

. A standardized product which can be repeated at any time, which is impossible with
naturally grown plants:
. A product at a price comepatible with their marketing strategy (often meaning cheap).

For therapeutic use aromaterapists use only distilled essential oils and expressed essences,
although some occasionallly make exception to the rule by using jasmine absolute or benzoin.

Procurement of genuine, and authentic essential oils

Of the many factors involved in the safe use of therapeutic essential oils, not least is the
specification of the oil itself. Knowledge of factors such as where it is grown, whether it is cloned
by cuttings or grown from seed, the plant variety, how it is grown (wild , organic, or with
chemicals), the part of the plant used and the chemotype is important for safe usage.
The overriding consideration must be consumer safety and to this end genuine, authentic oils
must be procured. Genuine in this case meaning of known plant origin and authentic meaning not

Ego Hour, Inc. 09/21/2012 9 Chere McCoy ICA

standardized: note that the word natural does not necessairly mean unadulatered or safe.

Some oils that are sold do NOT EXIST :

Peru balsam from El Salvador and tolu balsam are both standardized or synthesized in
Europe

Sandalwood from South India (Mysore) is not availabe yet continues to be sold.

Rosewood oil from the Amazon is not availabe because the industry is finished . The same
situation exist with Copaiba balsam.

Tea Tree – there are three times more sold in the world than is produced in Australia; tea tree
oil is a comparatively simple oil comeprising only about 30 compounds (cf. Ylang ylang, with
about 1200) and so it is easy to reconstruct; also the 'natural' oil iis often 'regulated' at the source.

Sumatran Patchoulli may be relabelled Malaysian Patchouli.

Barreme lavender (a lavender high in linalyl acetate) has not been produced for many years but
unbelievably appears on some sales list.

This is an excert from “Aromatherapy for Health Professionals”, 4th Edition

2012, edited by ShirleyPrice and Len Price. It is reprinted here with the
permission of Churchill Livingston Elsevier Ltd.

Purchasing Genuine & Authentic Oils

. Genuine, meaning that nothing is added to the essential oil and that it is pure, natural and
comeplete.

. Pure, which specifies that no other essential oils or vegetable oils are present in the product.
An oil diluted with vegetable oil, like grapeseed or canola, is generally easy to detect by its texture
and its inability to evaporate. Often times, more expensive oils are stretched, or adulterated, using
other oils. For example bergamot (citrus bergamia) may be stretched using lemon (citrus limon),

Ego Hour, Inc. 09/21/2012 10 Chere McCoy ICA

and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) may be stretched with lavandin (Lavandula x intermadia).
This type of stretching is much harder for the inexperience aromatherapist to detect.

. Natural, which means that no synthetic ingredients are added to the essential oil. Perfume oils,
even so-called natural perfume oils, may be diluted with petrochemicals like mineral oils,
propylene glycol, phthalates or other synthetics. This should be easy enough to detect, but again,
experience is important in the detection process.

. comeplete, indicating that the oil has not been decolorized or deterpenized. The flavor and
fragrance industry requires certain molecules (terpenes) and color to be extracted from natural oils.
This practice, not used in aromatherapy, may cause the oils to have less activity or to becomee
irritants.

. Authentic describes the source of the oil. An essential oil used in aromatherapy should be
clearly defined as coming from one plant of an identified botanical source. The distillation should
be from one specific plant and not a mix of similar plants or plants that grow alongside the chosen
path.

Finally, when purchasing essential oils, you should know their specific botanical origin. This
criterion tells you which plant the oil is extracted from and is generally identified by genus and the
species of the plant. An oil labeled “chamomile” could be from Matricaria recutita, Anthemis
nobilis, or Ormensis multicolis. Each of these plants produces oils that have distinctly different
properties. You will avoid confusion by knowing the correct botanical designation of the essential
oil.

Skin irritation a reaction to an irritant that produces itchiness and inflammation. The reactions of
different individuals to a given potential irritant can vary, as there is a wide tolerance range. The majority
of essential oils in aromatherapy used in the correct dilutions are perfectly safe, but potential irritants are
usually used at a strength of 1% or less

Skin sensitization This differs from skin irritation in that, once the skin has reacted to the substance, upon
subsequent exposure it will be even more sensitive. This is an example of an allergic response as the
immune system has reacted to produce antibodies. Upon subsequent exposure, antibodies can be rapidly
released again.

Terpene Alcohols mild, antimicrobial, antiviral, tissue firming, restores tonus in muscles and nerves
