Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi , I don't necessarily think that it's as easy as determining which would be better by a simple comparison, a fruit or herbal extract as much as you would want to study the properties of the individual extract to see if that is what you would want to impart in the blend. That's likely not what you're looking for in an answer, but I just don't think it's that easy. If say I have one herbal and one fruit extract that each will bring similar things in a blend that's when I do even more indepth research to find the more minute differences and possibilities of the total effect it might have in the blend. Maybe it's not as compatible, or has some other goodness about it I didnt' know about. So, I think it boils down to what you're looking for in properties and compatibility in a blend not just fruit vs herbal.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Thank you ita, I will go take a look. hugs and blessings, . Re: Re: fruit extracts. > > > , opinions are like noses -- everybody has one. You can find extracts to suit most any type of skin and the one you will need to use will depend on what you are trying to accomplish. There is a fruit or herb extract to accomplish whatever you want to in a face/body cream/lotion/potion. It takes study to figure out what each one does. Lots of good information in files. > > ita Reid > goatrock@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
