A spark to reduce the chemical load
My name is Outi and I have collected interesting issues and subjects regarding natural life in to these pages. My wish is that you will get new information, inspiration and above all, a spark to reduce the chemical load we are spreading around in our everyday life.
We need more information about industrial products and knowledge about consumption habit’s influence to our planet. My intention is to wake up a deeper discussion regarding natural lifestyle, recycling and environmental issues.
In October 2018 I’ve published my first book, “The raw-materials and prepare of home cosmetics”. It is a hefty information package to everyone interested in making cosmetics by herself or himself as well as a guide to a consumer of cosmetic products. The book suits very well as a manual of materials used in cosmetics.
How to find
At the moment there is one publication available, “The raw-materials and making of home cosmetics”. You can order either printed version or e-book by using the link.
Naturally everyone wants to try to make own cosmetics and cleaning products at home using familiar or not so familiar materials. I have started collecting and testing different formulas in order to share them here. You will find all new formulas under “Recipes” -page. The number of recipes will grow and hopefully the index will cover several needs for safe home chemicals in time.
There will be current, important issues regarding home cosmetics, raw materials, other home chemicals and recycling. Healthy nutrition is also one of my favorite topics.
