Before I buy any of that for my cow (yes, I do have a cow), I'd like to
be assured that it was not tested on humans.

That is a more important description than the price
and for some the main quality, even if it does not work as well as others
which have been so tested.

I have posted my home made hand cream to the list a couple of
times. Only know of a few who have tried it, but they were hooked.
IT WORKS. It has been thoroughly tested on me and some
Clayarters We yet live. If you are interested email me and I
will send the recipe. Don't exactly know why it works on rough
hands, cracks and chapping and all that, but it does.
Toni who is very grateful that someone took pity and sent cool
weather. Bliss!

Hi Toni,
Somehow I missed your recipe.
I would be grateful if you would send me the recipe.
Thanks,
Gayle Bair- whose hands are suffering due to minimal heating in the garage
studio. We in WA have to make sure CA has enough electricity!-) We need
rain... can you imagine someone in the Seattle area wishing for rain???? The
dam in Tacoma is 80 feet below normal!

My goodness, I would be spitting at CA Don't like the heat,
but don't like fureeeezing either. I could send you sunshine but that
will just increase your need for rain?
I have just been up to the shop to check sizes and they have gone
and changed sizes on me! Blast them I am going to give you
the ingredients by seat of pants, I KNOW you are bright enough to
adjust where neccesary once you have mixed it.
200g of baby talcum powder (not the cornstarch variaty)
150g of Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
2fl.oz. of Eucalyptus oil
2 fl.oz of Glycerine
Mix the whole bang shoot together. It is easier to mix the vaseline
and powder first and then add the oils.
Be careful of the talcum powder dust ( see how safety conscious I
have become! )
This smells a bit on when you first rub it into your hands. Not bad,
just odd. The smell soon goes, but I suppose you could add a few
drops of Lavender or other aromatheraphy oil in to improve the
smell.
I would be so pleased if you let me know how it goes. It really does
work well.

Now miss!
Teacher is going to talk down to you.
make up the hand cream into little jar pots.
Sell it.
For goodness's sake, doll. Not everyone wants to mix up sludge. Put said
mix into plastic jars (find cheapies) or/and into clay jars with lids. And
add an aromatherapy oil to some. Not to all - some people are allergic to
the base oil (I think it is grape).
I'm ashamed of you.
Make it one of your lines.
Take it to gardening shops. (Think of those people coming in with messy
dried out hands)
Take it to the pottery shops
And other shops where people work hard with their hands.
Make the pot small. So people can test it out.
Work out the costs. Add on whatever.
Know that the shops double the price so you will need to lower your prices
enough to get the stuff on the shelves.
Sheesh.
Ask vet to carry it.
After brushing dogs.....
The chemist.
The bonsai people.
IOW those who are supporting you already.
phone Lorraine Wilson, ask her if she would be interested in carrying it
Joan
the useless, shaking her head...
knwoing she would do exactly what Toni has done, but knwoing that when it is
your income at stake, we have to make things earn

haven't been paying much attention to hand cream items but wanted to add
that a friend used to buy lanolin in five gallon buckets and put it, thick
and cold, into an aluminum coffee percolator and melt it so it could run out
the spigot into small, maybe 2 oz. jars, which she bought new, added labels
to, and marketed locally and nationally.
Maybe this is useful/helpful to whoever is up to something similar. J.Vaughn
