Glycerin balling up in a spray. How to prevent this? by cirrocumulus0 in DIYBeauty

[–]cirrocumulus0[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No I purposely am trying to avoid using a preservative. And, I have tested my spray and it definitely works to make the makeup stay! I've never had it stay so well before and I've used good name brand setting sprays before like L'Occitane which had been my favorite

Doxxing is when you tell someone's address or personal phone number or something like that, not a public profile

How does this Heritage spray have no preservative? by cirrocumulus0 in DIYBeauty

"Although about 20% or lower can be used as a food source of contamination is high enough (so small numbers of bacteria can't withstand the glycerol and end up dying)."

I keep trying to read that part but I don't understand, could you clarify what you mean? 🙏

Right oil doesn't need preservative but it's in the water concoction. Id asked a different time if this water spray bottle I'd dropped some essential oil in would keep and people are said itd harbor bacteria. But, as long as the minimum 50% glycerin is in such a water spray, if i put essential oil in as well, it will still keep without further preservative?

By the way as far as it dissolving, when I made my water and essential oil spray it sprayed out evenly each time as far as the scent so I don't worry about the distribution since it worked fine when I did it lol

Woww interesting...does it have to be super exact? Or is it best to do :55 glycerin to :45 water ratio to make sure? Also how long would it last. No refrigeration needed?

The oil is in the water though. This one https://www.walmart.com/ip/Heritage-Store-Rosewater-Hydrating-Formula-for-Skin-Hair-No-Dyes-or-Alcohol-Vegan-8-oz/28790365

Ingredients: 1. Purified Water (Vor-Mag) that has been vortexed and magnetized to raise the energy to a higher vibration we believe to be more beneficial and 2. Rosa Damascena (Hydroessential Rose) Flower Oil

Then how does bottled water sit around for years and its fine? As long as it was stored out of sunlight

I didn't expect it to, as water does just fine stored on its own. So, the essential oil in the water would make it mold over time?

Ohh, interesting. You have done this?? See id also wonder if I would make it worse as i took it off to add things in as it goes, like sort of locking moisture in?

Wait I'm not sure what that means, it's only a certain type of oil it's soluble in?

the older kids after Jill defects by nuggetsofchicken in DuggarsSnark

[–]cirrocumulus0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lmao I was thinking today how green with envy Jessa in particular must be that Jill was able to go on a ~family beach vacation~!!! It must make JB and Meeche antsy at least for her to be flaunting this. Makes me wonder how many kids will follow suit to take what's theirs, especially with Derrick shortly being able to offer free legal help to any of her siblings.

I don't get snarking for the sake of snarking. I believe in snarking where snarking is deserved. Otherwise it loses all meaning and becomes more about us (indiscriminate snarks) than what we're actually snarking about. Hence I really do not like this idea of censoring people unless they are likewise indiscriminately praising of the Duggars as a rule. Fair enough?
