Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I was just researching natural oils (no petroleum or other additives) that beautify and nourish wood fiber. Sources suggested food-grade plant oils "with a very long shelf life." Olive and mustard oils were mentioned. Of course, they are used traditionally, and are very effective. Lemon oil, which is often used to polish furniture, was cited. Also, food- grade linseed oil, which artists also use to condition camel-hair brushes. Jojoba oil was also mentioned, because it never spoils. However, it was also mentioned that jojoba oil is really a wax-- probably not a good choice for the beads. I have also heard that some people use sesame oil, but have never tried it. Thanks! K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hi Sis Kariji, What do you think of almond oil? I believe its quite close to our skin chemistry and have tried using this together with sandalwood oil. Pretty good I must say. Agree about jojoba being waxy (very good for dry skin conditions) and stronger in color and texture than other 'carrier' oils.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I thought of almond oil too, AFTER I posted. <g>. I use it to make perfumes. I think it would work. It's light, lubricant, and it has a very long shelf life. Thnaks, love! K. , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Hi Sis Kariji, > > What do you think of almond oil?
