The germophobes are the ones who get SUPER sick, since they kill all of the good bacterial too and become populated with faster growing pathogenic "germs". And superbugs. People use lysol and hand sanitizer and antibacterial stuff way too much!

I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they sure have some great ideas!

Several years ago I made up a batch of lotion that used beeswax and borax. It was an OLD recipe that I had found in my grandmother's stuff I'd inherited. It turned out to be a wonderful lotion. I didn't use it for very long just because I didn't have any preservative to keep it shelf stable. I did, however, keep it in my linen closet for months and just kept checking it to see how it looked. After 6 months is was still smelling good. No mold. And it didn't separate. Do I recommend this? NO! But it was a fun learning experience. You can see a picture of it here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1517

I agree Irena. That is why I said I stopped using it after a short while. But I was curious to see how it held up and was only reporting what I saw. I am certainly not advocating making lotions without it.
