Lotioncrafter sells a type of apple stem cell extract for about $50.00 an ounce, if memory serves. I really like making stuff myself, too (all in all, it ends up being cheaper and more effective) but you really have to do your research and truly make products that you and your family will USE regularly. I wouldn't ever bother with any of the above ingredients because they are too expensive, and probably too hard to formulate with. I'd use colloidal oatmeal or soy flour in a cream before I'd shell out the dough for almond protein! DIY can be very safe if you;

I have also heard that hydrolyzed almond protein is really calming too! So funny you mentioned that here. I like to keep my makeup as "natural" and close to nature as possible too, so its easy to DIY that way. Natural oils are great for your hair and skin and Aloe vera too! I love DIY cosmetics.

And I'm ordering some stuff from it. It's not really a competitor for me -my clients go for the plug-n-play. But it would be great for young adults to find out how this stuff goes together and I'm interested to see what the quality ends up like. -Tony I found DIY’s website absolutely fascinating!

And not everything natural is safe. Tobacco, arsenic, and nightshade are all natural and all kill people. I have to say DYI makeup doesn’t sound safe. And not everything natural is safe.
