FAQ Colognes & Lotions
| What type of alcohol is used in the colognes? | |
| Ethyl alcohol is used in all of the colognes except Surrender, which is made from SD alcohol. SD stands for Specially Denatured and is toxic when ingested. Ethanol [alcohol] is edible, but poisonous at certain levels. We do not recommend the ingestion of any of our colognes please keep them away from children and from flames and sparks. | |
| Why are they different colors? | |
| The essential oils produced by plants come in a rainbow of color. When we place these essential oils in alcohol, they show their colors. Resins are often dark, other plant oils are light, some are colorless. The shocking bright yellow of Tagetes and the milky white of Sage are their natural colors. | |
| Why are they equipped with a sprayer? | |
| We hope you will use your cologne to scent your room and clean your hands. There are so many uses for the "Original Hand Sanitizer" you will have fun with them to be sure. | |
| Are there any safety issues with using colognes? | |
| They should be used carefully around the eyes and nose. I prefer to apply cologne with my fingers to my neck, but spraying on other parts of the body is OK. Avoid mucous membranes, and since the alcohol may prove drying for your hair, you may want to avoid that area as well. Fire, candle flames, sparks are all dangerous around alcohol. | |
| What is the difference between perfume and cologne? | |
| Perfumes are less diluted than colognes. Since cologne has more alcohol, it is cheaper and may be used more frequently. It is great at removing gummy, inky stains from your fingers and sanitizing door knobs etc. Be cautious around plastics as some may be harmed by the alcohol. Always test first. | |
| What is the difference between a cream and a lotion? | |
| Creams are thicker than lotions. | |
| Are there any preservatives in your lotions? | |
| Although lotions and creams can be made
without preservatives, we have chosen to take the advice of experts
in our industry and use the lowest level of parabens allowable. We feel the necessity of this addition since we have seen the results of products made without. Molds and bacterial growths in body care products pose a real hazard to our customers. If we could be sure that everyone would use up our products before their expiration dates, we would be happy to leave out the preservative. This decision has been based on our research with our stores and their buyers. We do however welcome your thoughts on this and any subject. Contact us at woodspirits@earthlink.net. |
