D.I.Y Air Freshener Gel-NON Toxic!




    Most commercially obtainable air fresheners incorporate butylphenyl methylpropional, methyl pyrrolidone, propylene glycol, acetaldehyde, one,three-Dichloro-two-propanol, and different other chemicals that are toxic to the immune system and joined to allergy symptoms, problems, eye irritations, developmental and reproductive issues, and so on.
As a result, the fact that you can incorporate natural ingredients and avoid hazardous chemical substances although generating your personal place fresheners at residence helps make this thought far more attractive.

    The total time it takes to make is about five to six (5-6) minutes and then twenty-four (24) hours to solidify.
    Materials & Equipment:
    two(2)-four(4) jars, capable of holding 1 cup of fluid each.  I used two(2) Mason jars, and each jar holds 1cup of mixture.
    Food Coloring (Optional)
  • Essential Oil or Room Fragrance drops (Can be purchased at a craft store, but I found mines at Whole Foods.
  • Two (2) cups of water, divided into two 1-cup amounts
  • Four (4) envelopes unflavored gelatine (one 1-oz box)
  • One (1) tablespoon of salt
  • Kitchen equipment such as a whisk, a pan to boil the water and spoons (plastic or metal) to mix the concoction






Prepare:
  • Pour a few drops of food coloring of your choice into each jar.
  • Next, pour one (1) teaspoon (minimum) of essential oil into each jar.  You may want to add more if you desire a stronger scent emanating from the end result.  I did not use more than two teaspoons and was pleased with the one teaspoon result.

Boil and Mix:
  • Bring one (1) cup of water to a boil.
  • Add all four (4) envelopes of gelatine to the boiling water and whisk until dissolved.  (I estimate it dissolved in about a minute.)
  • After the gelatine dissolves, add the remaining cup of water and then the salt.
  • After the salt dissolves, remove the pan from the heat and pour into the prepared jars.  Try pouring the mixture into the jars within a few minutes of removing the pan off of the heat.
  • NOTE: Please be careful as the mixture will be very hot!You may want to use a funnel to put the gelatine mixture in the jars. I used a broken chop stick to stir the gelatinous combination. Let the now fragrant gel mix solidify at room temperature for at least 24-hours. Or place in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours. The scent and solid mixture will disintegrate over time.  The one in my room has lasted over a month.  The one in my bathroom has lasted over a month.  I estimate that one jar would last from four to six (4-6) good weeks of scent dispersion, It depends on how much scent you add. Make sure the lid is off the container to enjoy!Remember to have fun and experiment with mixing different scents together. Share your finished product via picture.

You are seduced on a daily basis by the intoxicating aromas, flashy packaging, and enticing promises of everlasting youth these products offer. But what is the real cost of applying these products to your body? If I were to tell you that your personal care products could be putting you at risk for hair and skin damage, immunological problems, damage to your eyes, and possibly even cancer, would you pay a little more attention to their ingredients? The growing awareness of chemicals in the foods you eat has led many of you to begin reading labels. If you are doing this as part of your regular shopping routine, I commend you, and you will likely live longer for it. But what about the products you are smearing all over yourself? Eye makeup can be absorbed by your highly sensitive mucous membranes. Hair sprays, perfumes and powders can be inhaled, irritating your lungs. Lipstick is licked off and swallowed. Sunscreen and lotions are absorbed through your s

Glycol Propylene-Hazardous to your Health. It's in EVERYTHING!

Image
What is propylene glycol? It is is a chemical found in personal care products that acts as a penetration enhancer that keeps products from melting in heat and/or freezing when it is cold. It is found in items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, acne treatment, moisturizer, toothpaste, deodorant, nail polish, mascara; basically anything you could possibly use on your body, propylene glycol is in it.  Why should you avoid propylene glycol? For starters it alters the structure of the skin by allowing chemicals to penetrate deep beneath it while increasing their ability to reach the blood stream. Sounds lovely, right? So even if propylene glycol was good for you, it’s main job is to help any other chemicals you come in contact with reach your bloodstream. Who wants to use a chemical designed to help other chemicals penetrate even deeper into your skin? Not me. However, there is even more to it than just that… How Toxic is Propylene
