Incense and Tublets
Sunday, February 19, 2006
I put together some sandalwood scented incense sticks. I've always liked the scent of sandalwood and these incense sticks are no exception. We burn incense pretty much daily to get rid of cooking smells. With our open kitchen and all the open doors in the winter to try and allow the heating to go through all the rooms evenly, you get the waft of whatever we cooked for dinner all over the place. Fortunately, the burning incense works in the same way. I love the smell of cooking but only during the cooking and eating process. So incense after dinner has become a mainstay in our home.
I've also made some new tublets. These are different in that I've incorporated a surfactant that foams. I thought the foaming action would not only be great in the tub but would also help to disperse all the other fizzy ingredients. So I made some in lavender and some in a new fragrance of sandalwood rose. This fragrance is nice. The rose is subtle and brings down the sandalwood just enough to make a nice combination. I'm also working on the labeling for these because I make my tublets with goat's milk and I'm sure people would like to know about that right off so I'm going to label them as such. I've also bumped up the amount of shea butter and switched out the jojoba oil with meadowfoam seed oil. I'll post pictures when I get the labels done. Here is my list of ingredients:
baking soda
citric acid
epsom salts
goat's milk
corn starch
sodium lauryl sulfoacetate
shea butter
meadowfoam seed oil
fragrance and color
