Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Hello Sara Joy. Many years ago I used some horse linament on a sore knee. I could taste it through my entire body for days. YUCK!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 What formula are you using? Some recipes don't ask for glycerin and I've forgotten to put it in some of my lotions and never noticed. I also use the coconut oil from Walmart that's pretty cheap when I need some for lotions or soaps. I've been making an msm cream using a coconut oil base, but its fairly expensive to make that way. Becky It isn’t the load that breaks us down; it’s the way we carry it. Quote
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 Hey Sara! HOpe all is well. It would depend on the type of glycerine you are using for beginners I would stay with the coconut oil if it were me unless you go to a superb olive oil..

Someone suggested using a glycerine base, but I see that vegatable glycerine is made by heating and hydrolis of oil byproducts. Some folks have reassured me that since I'm only using it topically basically doesn't matter what I use, and there do seem to be an abundance of skin products using glycerine. However, from my perspective, what I put on my skin is as if not even more important than what I put in my body, as it is directly absorbed.Is using glycerine safe? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks, Sara Joy Everyone is raving about the all-new . Quote
