Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Marge, Actually this is a project that can either use magnesium or unssented talc. The white clay wouldn't work. Perhaps I should look for magnesium. Any ideas for that? Thank you for your help Marge and others. JoAnne -- Fresh and alive essential oils bought direct from the source. Retail, wholesale, and bulk.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 <<Perhaps I should look for magnesium. Any ideas for that? >> JoAnn, I purchased magnesium carbonate (as a nutritional supplement) from a pharmacy in the past - maybe 10 (oh, heavens - maybe 20 years ago!). They had to special order it for me. You might also be able to get it though a health food store.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hello everyone, I just read somewhere that you filter a tincture using talc. Is this true ? And if yes , how is it done? Maggie (Corfu, Greece ) Hi Maggie, I read the same thing both here in the archives and also in an old book online. I tried this week to do it and failed. I sealed a funnel with a coffee filter taped over the outside, so the talc wouldn´t fall out. I put about a half inch of talc in the funnel and poured in the tincture. Not even one drop penetrated through the talc. It just sat there and evaporated. I am going to try again today with less talc.

Maggie (Corfu, Greece ) Hi, Yesterday I tried this again using about 1/4 inch of talc in the tip of the funnel. This time it did pass through. It took all day to filter 120ml of tincture. The bad news is that it did not remove any color from the tincture, which the reason for the talc. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Why not think about embracing their colors and seeing what fun tints you come up with when you blend different tinctures together? I would think that talc would ultimately rob scent from the tinctures too. As would anything else you pass them through instead of talc, like kaolin clay, or corn starch, or rice flour.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I believe the issue with talc was aluminum in it, which migrated from under the arm... Bruce talc I thought it was only carcinogenic if inhaled. ??? pj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
