Continuing with the theme of organizing and de-cluttering, I started tackling my kitchen cabinets to make room for some new oils I recently bought for cooking and making dressings. My two favorites so far are the Roasted Walnut and Toasted Sesame oils –both very aromatic, flavorful, and healthy (my favorite combination!). I know it sounds a little crazy, but any time I buy a new type of culinary oil, I always rub a little onto my skin to familiarize myself with the texture and see how it feels, smells, etc. It’s part of my ongoing process of identifying potential ingredients for new product ideas!
But seriously folks … if you want to become savvy about buying natural products and especially moisturizers, you can learn a lot about what a finished product might feel like and how it will work for you before you buy, if you dabble in a little kitchen science yourself. To see what I mean, read this week’s posts which give you an overview of what goes into making a basic moisturizer and how you can identify a quality product based on it’s ingredients –many of which you can find (surprise, surprise!) in your own kitchen.
