Contact Lens Solution

Contact Lens Solution

A scant cup of cold tap water brought to a boil in glass
saucepan. After adding ¼ tsp. aluminum free salt and boiling

again, pour into a sterile canning jar. Refrigerate. Freeze some of
it.
Lip Soother
For dry, burning lips. Heat 1 level tsp. sodium alginate plus 1
cup water until dissolved. After cooling, pour it into a small
bottle to carry in your purse or pocket (refrigerate the remainder).
Dab it on whenever needed. If the consistency isn't right for
you, add water or boil it down further. You can make a better lip
soother by adding some lysine from a crushed tablet, vitamin C
powder, and a vitamin E capsule to the alginate mix. If you have
a persistent problem with chapped lips, try going off citrus juice.
Foot Powder
Use a mixture of cornstarch and zinc oxide poured into a salt
shaker with a lid. Add long rice grains to fight humidity. You
may also try arrow root or potato starch. If you don't have zinc
oxide use plain cornstarch.
Skin Healer Moisturizer Lotion
1 tsp. sodium alginate
1 cup water
Make the base first by heating these together in a covered,
non-metal pan until completely dissolved. Use low heat–it will
take over an hour. Use a wooden spoon handle to stir. Set aside.
Then make the following mixture:
¼ tsp. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) (You may crush tablets)
¼ tsp. lysine (crush tablets)
2 tbs. pure vegetable glycerin
2 vitamin E capsules (400 units or more, each)
1 tsp. apricot kernel oil (olive oil will do)

1 tbs. lemon juice from a lemon or ¼ tsp. citric acid (this is optional)
1 cup water
Heat the water to steaming in a non-metal pan. Add vitamin C
and lysine first and then everything else. Pour into a pint jar and
shake to mix. Then add the sodium alginate base to the desired
thickness (about equal amounts) and shake. Pour some into a
small bottle to use as lip soother. Pour some into a larger bottle
to dispense on skin. Store remainder in refrigerator. (See
Sources for sodium alginate, vegetable glycerin and apricot kernel
oil. Sodium alginate is also available in capsule form at some
health food stores.)
