No Parabens in Thentix – “A Touch of Honey”
The trick is balance. The manufacturers of Thentix worked hard and long to keep the integrity of the product, Thentix, while removing the parabens and still have a product that will still have a decent shelf life. Trying to balance the ingredients of a product that has both water and oils … Now you have a product that will keep but has no harmful parabens. No methyl paraben and no propyl paraben. In case any one was curious there is also not propylene glycol.
Grapeseed Oil Massage
Any number of oils can be used for massage. Grapeseed oil is wonderful for this as it has almost no odor and being a light oil it is not greasy – it has a very fine, silky texture. For anyone with nut allergies it is safe to use – grapeseed oil is non-allergenic. It makes a good substitute for almond oil. If this is not an issue, it can also be mixed with other oils. Experiment! (more…)
Natural Honey and Wound Healing
Honey is used for many things other than eating. It has been used for thousands of years for wound treatment. The slow release of hydrogen peroxide in honey makes it very effective as an anti-bacterial agent. By being release slowly hydrogen peroxide is able to destroy bacteria without harming live tissue.
The enzyme in honey that produces hydrogen peroxide is called glucose oxidase. Too mach heat and light can reduce the activity of glucose oxidase. Tolerance to heat varies to some degree between different types of honey.
It is always best, when possible, to get unpasteurized honey as it will retain its enzyme activity. (Pasteurization is essentially purifying through heat.) Unpasteurized honey or natural honey (raw honey) will retain its enzyme activity and be more effective at helping to heal wounds.
When storing honey at home, keep in a cool dark place.
Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) For Skin Care
Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) is a marigold and part of the daisy family of flowers. These plants have been used for skin treatement for centuries. Calendula, along with honey, is a humectant. Both of these ingredients in Th
entix help the skin by absorbing and retaining moisture. In addition to Calendula’s other healing aspects, it helps bring moisture into the cells of the skin. Skin cells are missing more moisture than oils. As the skin cells become hydrated they become healthier and thus more easily expel various toxins and protect the skin against sun and other damaging effects.
Calendula has been used to help heal skin ulcers, burns and wounds. Both honey and calendula have been used in the treatment of open wounds for centuries. You will find calendula officinalis in many of the better products for handling eczema. I have seen a combination of honey and calendula in Thentix actually get rid of plantars warts.
Royal Jelly and Skin Care
Many people have heard of the benefits of taking Royal Jelly internally for increased metabolism and increased sexual energy. Royal Jelly is packed full of nutrients for the body but many that very specifically help with skin conditions.
These are some of the nutrients contained in Royal Jelly: (more…)
Check out and Compare Different Skin Care Products and Their Ingredients
I was at the Big E in Massachusetts recently. The Big E is a state fair that runs for three weeks and is basically a “New England” state fair. I was looking at skin care products amongst other things. Having used Thentix for years I pay attention to ingredients in these products. Many have good quality ingredients and some definitely do not or the ingredients that are promoted are in very small amounts. You can usually tell by looking at the label and they will be listed in order of quantity. One product listed as an “Aloe Vera” product listed Mineral Oil as number one ingredient. (more…)
Cleopatra Honey and Milk Bath
I was doing some research on Honey, the main ingredient of Thentix Skin Care Cream. Honey has an amazing number of uses. And a few thousand years ago it seems Cleopatra was using it for cosmetics. In my searching I found several recipes for her milk and honey recipe.
There are several all very similar recipes for this honey and milk bath all attibuted to Cleopatra. Some use powdered milk and some use regular milk – some whole and some skim. If you are going to have this sort of bath on any sort of regular basis then you may want to try different mixtures to find the one that you like the best. Once you have made the mixture, you will want to add different amounts to the bath – again – to see what you like the best. Nothing in any of the mixtures can be harmful.
Here’s the first: (more…)
