Amigel is our unique gelling agent derived from the yeast Sclerotium rolfsii grown on a glucose sugar culture. Known as a polysaccharide gel (meaning “many sugars”), Amigel has the highest capacity to absorb water than any other vegetable gelling agent and will accept a large amount of additional ingredients. We offer our prepared Amigel at a 2% concentration in distilled water, with the...

Amiox is our unique Rosemary extract that is a potent natural antioxidant. Antioxidants are helpful because these molecules ‘mop up’ oxygen and free radicals much more readily than the fatty acids in the oil. By adding only two drops (or 0.05%) of Amiox to every 100mL of vegetable oil, the ‘shelf life’ of the oil can be extended for perhaps another 30% to 40% longer. Amiox is far superior...

An excellent “all-over” cleanser for the bath or shower, based on mild, coconut oil-derived cleansing agents of ammonium laureth sulfate and cocoamidopropyl betaine. Contrary to many books and websites that detail the ‘hazards’ of laureth sulfates, ammonium laureth sulfate is actually a very mild cleansing agent (milder than lauryl sulfates), especially when combined with cocoamidopropyl...

Liposomes are extremely small spheres of natural phospholipids from soy lecithin. They are popular in expensive cosmetic ranges (and in medical applications), because of the ability of liposomes to easily penetrate the epidermis of the skin. Liposomes can be “loaded” with other active ingredients eclosed within the liposome spheres or they can be used “unloaded”. We provide pure soy...
