JOELLE'S ESSENTIAL MENTIONABLES SANITIZER
MAIN STREAM SANITIZERS ARE TOXIC
READ THIS TO LEARN THE TRUTH
What’s one thing that almost every American carries around – a little bottle of hand sanitizer? If you think that hand sanitizers protect you against germs, you are mistaken. Not only do commercial sanitizers last only a few minutes (they must be reapplied over and over again for them to be somewhat effective) but they are also loaded with toxic chemicals. So, basically for most sanitizers to work you have to soak your hands in it constantly, however, then you risk a ton of health problems associated with all the toxic ingredients in it. One of the most toxic ingredients used in making hand sanitizers is triclosan.
Triclosan is usually found in sanitizers, soaps, dish washing detergents, shaving gels, toothpastes, etc. It has been linked to serious health effects, including hormone disruptions and cancer.
One of the most disturbing things is that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that triclosan is present in the urine of at least 75 percent of Americans. No wonder, we are sick as a nation. We are constantly bathing ourselves in these toxic chemicals and on a daily basis......
Main stream hand sanitizers cause the skin to absorb
10 times more of the hormone-disrupting chemical
bisphenol A (BPA), according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Missouri and published in the journal PLOS ONE. Fortunately, there are many all natural alternatives to these chemicals (such as essential oils). Essential oils contain organisms that are very effective at fighting bacteria; they are very effective as antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-viral cleansers.
Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil is one of the most powerful oils when it comes to killing bacteria. Cinnamon essential oil is highly anti-microbial and anti-bacterial for a great diversity of infectious bacteria.
Tea tree essential oil is also a great choice as it has a much wider range of uses than those conventional hand sanitizers. Tea tree oil is a powerful immune stimulant. It has a wide variety of uses that require strong antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. Lemon, Grapefruit, Spearmint, Peppermint, and Vanilla Bean all also deal with all three categories of infectious organisms: bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
If you’re going to sanitize, why not make it work for you in three different ways? Kill the germs, soften your hands, and enjoy mood-enhancing aromatherapy.
I have created several different varieties of sanitizers and products that are ALL Natural ingredients, 100% Pure Aloe Vera gel or liquid, Essential oils such as Tea Tree Oil, Lavender, Lemon, Cinnamon Leaf, Grapefruit, Spearmint, Peppermint, and Vanilla Bean. All are made to order, and all are Antiseptic, Antibacterial Anti-fungal and Antiviral. They work at keeping you healthy, clean, moisturizing and smelling fantastic. Give it a try today, you won’t be sorry. Now with the COVID-19 Pandemic all of my sanitizers now come with alcohol. 95 - 96% which is more than needed in order to combat all of the potential germs you will encounter.

BEST CARRIER OILS / OTHER OILS USED
COCONUT OIL
By far coconut oil is one of the most popular carrier oils used to dilute essential oils and for good reason. Coconut oil, derived from the fruit of the coconut tree, is a super-oil full of naturally present antioxidants and is an excellent antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is exceptional for nourishing the hair, nails and skin. Its almost 50% content of lauric acid means that coconut oil can retain a long shelf life and improve good cholesterol (HDL). It is also great for dry skin and treating skin conditions as it has natural deep moisturizing properties. When buying coconut oil look for unrefined coconut oil as that does not go through the process of chemical extraction. Also you can buy coconut oil that is solid at room temperature and works well for making home-made balms and creams and smells great, or fractionated coconut oil which is liquid at room temperature and has almost no aroma.
OLIVE OIL
Extracted from the fruit of the olive tree, olive oil has an incredible number of health benefits and does a lot more than just cook and flavor food! With 75% oleic acid, this popular cooking oil is excellent for your heart and cardiovascular system and can actually lower bad (LDL) cholesterol and increase good (HDL) cholesterol. It is also a potent anti-inflammatory and helps to reduce resistance to insulin. Olive oil is a light oil with a fruity aroma that is not overpowering so it works well for blending most essential oils. Being non-greasy you can use it for almost any skin or hair type as it does not clog skin pores or leave hair locks looking greasy. It is excellent for dandruff, frizzy hair and dry skin.
When buying olive oil there are countless brands available - make sure not to buy the very cheap brands as these are more refined and may be mixed with other oils in the manufacturing process. Unrefined extra virgin olive oil is the best as no heat or chemicals are used in the extraction process and it contains the highest concentration of oleic acid.
JOJOBA OIL
Comprised of over 75% eicosenoic acid, a long omega-9 fatty acid that cannot be digested by humans, but most closely resembles human sebum - jojoba oil is famous for being the carrier oil that is closest to mimicking the natural oil secretions of human skin! This makes it an excellent moisturizer for using on areas like the face and neck that may otherwise look oily with other carrier oils.
The oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba tree and has a light nutty aroma. Jojoba oil is a natural anti-fungal and works well when combined with essential oils that also have anti-fungal properties and are used for topical fungal infections. With the longest chain of essential fatty acids than any other carrier oil and its ability to resist oxidation, jojoba oil holds a long shelf-life. Its high rate of absorption make it one of the top carrier oils on our list.
SWEET ALMOND OIL
Highly rich in Vitamin E and an excellent natural antioxidant, sweet almond oil is extracted from the dried fruit of the almond tree. It's high vitamin E content makes it an optimal choice for nourishing the skin, regenerating new skin cells and keeping in moisture, making it a great choice for those who have dry skin.
It's natural antioxidant properties help protect from the damaging effects of the sun, and it's high concentrations of both oleic and linoleic acids help to relieve inflammation and soothe irritated skin. Being non-greasy and hypoallergenic, it makes an excellent massage oil (especially for infants) and its rich Vitamin E content can actually help repair damage in the collagen layer of the skin, making facial skin smooth and supple and reducing wrinkles. Sweet almond oil makes our list for one of the top oils of choice for nourishing the skin, hair and nails.
ARGAN OIL
Best known for its anti-aging properties and promoting hair growth and repairing hair damage and split ends, if you haven't heard of or used argan oil, you're missing out on a carrier oil that is loaded with rich, nourishing properties and healing benefits! No wonder top-notch cosmetic companies are using it in their high-end formulations. Argan oil is extracted from the fruit of the Moroccan argan tree (Argania spinosa). Rich in antioxidants, Vitamin A and E, and oleic and linoleic fatty acids, argan oil is especially beneficial for healing inflammation and damage caused by UV rays of the sun, reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scars and promoting healthy cuticles and nails.

AVOCADO OIL
The fruit of the avocado tree is almost one-third oil and is one of the thickest, most luxurious oils on our list! Avocado oil is also a good oil to use for anti-aging as it contains palmitoleic acid, a type of fatty acid that is found naturally in human fatty tissues just under the skin. Since avocado oil mimics this fat, the skin absorbs it in, especially providing excellent nourishment for older, mature skin that has thinned with age. Avocado oil contains high concentrations of oleic and linoleic fatty acids making it a potent anti-inflammatory and along with other naturally present nutrients and antioxidants as well at vitamins A, D & E, this carrier oil is ideal for irritable skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Due to its high viscosity, avocado oil dries slowly making it a good carrier oil for massage. To make it more free flowing it can be blended with another carrier oil such as olive oil or sweet almond oil.
APRICOT KERNEL OIL
Obtained from the kernels or seeds of apricots, apricot kernel oil is a gentle, light oil with a slight nutty aroma, and has properties and applications similar to sweet almond oil. Usually used as a massage oil, it makes the skin soft and supple and does not leave any greasy residue behind. The high content of both oleic and linoleic acid make this oil an excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. The high antioxidant content in apricot kernel oil make it great for protecting the skin from free radicals. The non-greasy properties of the oil make it a good carrier oil to use for oily facial skin and whole-body massage, as well as dry, irritated or sensitive skin.
CASTOR OIL
Obtained from the seeds of the castor bean plant, castor oil has been used for centuries to treat constipation, ailments of the skin and improve hair health. However, new research has shown that the benefits of castor oil go far beyond that. Castor oil can increase the count of a type of white blood cell in the body that can help to kill bacteria, viruses, fungus and even cancer cells. Castor oil stands out amongst most of the carrier oils on our list because it contains ricinoleic acid, a rare unsaturated fatty acid that is found in high-quality cold-pressed castor oil and provides many healing benefits such as enhancing immunity through improving the lymphatic system, which in turn helps the body to detoxify, positively impacts circulation and supports the digestive system. In fact research shows that castor oil packs used on the abdomen (see procedure below) are great for detoxifying the liver, alleviating ailments of the uterus and ovaries, improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Castor oil is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory which makes it great for healing skin infections, and treating topical fungal infections and sunburns. Ricinoleic acid is excellent for fighting acne as it kills bacteria that clogs pores while also moisturizing the skin at the same time. Omega-6 fatty acids in castor oil give hair a natural glow, improve circulation in the scalp and accelerate hair growth.
NEEM OIL
Extracted from the seeds of the neem tree native to the Indian subcontinent, neem oil contains over a hundred biologically active compounds including nimbidin & nimbin compounds, omega-6 fatty acids and azadirachtin, a compound that acts as a natural powerful insect repellent. Neem oil is an excellent carrier oil for everything from treating hair and skin conditions, to eliminating parasites and serving as an insecticide, to improving oral health and even treating your pets! Recent research suggests that neem "stimulates collagen production, good for aging skin," and also that the vitamin E content in neem "acts as a free radical scavenger, by hindering the oxidizing processes in the skin. It promotes soft and supple skin, helps in reducing old scars and promotes healing."
HEMP SEED OIL
Obtained from the Cannabis Sativa plant, hemp seed oil has suffered a bad rep, but in actuality it provides some pretty amazing health benefits. With high concentrations of linoleic, alpha-linolenic & gamma-linolenic acids, hemp seed oil is a brilliant anti-inflammatory and has valuable antioxidant properties which help with skin cell regeneration and preventing premature aging. It has Omega 6, Omega 3, fatty acids, and an incredible ability to resist infection while strengthening skin. Being non-greasy it is great to use on oily skin for eczema, psoriasis and acne or for full body massages. Hemp seed oil is also a natural analgesic (pain-reliever), making it a good choice for muscle and joint pain, especially when mixed with essential oils that have analgesic properties like peppermint essential oil or lavender essential oil.
ROSEHIP OIL
Extracted from the seeds of the musk rose or Rosa moschata, rosehip seed oil contains a high concentration of linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid and is extremely high in vitamins A and E making it a highly sought after carrier oil for skin care. In fact rosehip oil is found in many cosmetics, creams and balms for eczema, stretch marks, anti-aging and more. The fatty acids and high concentrations of vitamins in rosehip oil help to restore elasticity to the skin and improve collagen production making it a better, safer choice than chemical-filled face creams and even Botox. When using rosehip seed oil, it's important to note that you should buy cold-pressed rosehip oil that has not been tainted by heat and therefore preserves more nutrients.
FLAXSEED OIL
Also known as linseed oil, flaxseed oil, extracted from seeds of the flax plant provides some incredible benefits. Flaxseed oil contains the highest concentration of alpha-linoleic acid amongst all vegetable-based carrier oils making it a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Flaxseed oil is highly beneficial in treating inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema and also joint inflammation caused by conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
EMU OIL
Emu oil is obtained from the fat of the emu, a bird native to Australia. The oil contains rich fatty acids and is an excellent anti-inflammatory. A 2012 study documented that emu oil could be highly effective in treating disorders affecting the gastrointestinal system. Predominantly used for treating inflammatory skin conditions and skin burns, emu oil is full of incredible healing benefits!
Due to its ability to reduce inflammation, emu oil is excellent for treating joint and muscle pain. In fact one study demonstrated that emu oil has the same pain-relieving benefits of the analgesic drug ibuprofen. A 2005 study found that emu oil can promote "wound healing" from burns and that, "after application of emu oil, the swelling and effusion of the burn wound were alleviated and evidences of wound infection or adverse effects were not observed."
WHEAT GERM OIL
The center or 'germ' of the wheat grain is under 5% of the entire grain of wheat but contains a quarter of the grain's minerals, vitamins and proteins. Loaded with vitamin E, wheat germ oil is also a natural anti-inflammatory containing over 50% linoleic acid.
Wheat germ oil contains powerful antioxidants and can help in the repair of aging skin, sun-damaged skin and blemishes. Being a thick, heavy oil it is best mixed with other carrier oils than used on its own.The natural antioxidant content in the oil also helps to prevent oxidation which makes wheat germ oil a good choice to blend with other carrier oils as it can help extend the shelf life of other oils.

ESSENTIAL OILS
An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived. Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Other processes include, expression, solvent extraction, absolute oil extraction, resin tapping, wax embedding, and cold pressing. They are used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and other products, for flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products.
FRAGRANCE / FLAVOR OILS /ALL NATURAL OR PURE FRAGRANCE OIL
Fragrance oil(s), also known as aroma oils, aromatic oils, and flavor oils, are blended synthetic aroma compounds or natural essential oils that are diluted with a carrier like propylene glycol, vegetable oil, or mineral oil. There are all natural or Pure fragrance oils as well.
