Update On Experiment II: Aloe Oil

Aloe Oil

experiment II

New maceration bottle to be used in making Aloe Oil.
Note the small neck and "shoulders" of the bottle.

The latest experiment, experiment II, will have to be restarted due to molding. The same procedure will take place as before, with two major adjustments: 1) usage of a different maceration container,and 2) the addition of a small amount of alcohol poured on top of the maceration solution, prior to capping. The use of a differently shaped glass container with "shoulders" and a small neck will not only help keep plant materials submerged, but will also allow for the easy application of a small amount of alcohol on top of the solution to prevent molding. 

After the Aloe oil is made, it will be added to three other oil mixtures: one for hair, one for the body, and one for the face. Trials will follow afterward and will be compared to the prior trial in experiment I

Custom oil mixtures for hair, body, and face. The Aloe Oil will be added to
 these custom mixtures after production and trials will proceed.
