reverse osmosis

December 11th, 2008

Water is an important element. And ever since purified water became almost as common as the air we breathe, the term reverse osmosis has become familiar to water users and drinkers. It is what purified water companies pride their products on. Reverse osmosis is the ultimate water purifying technique, and without it the water cannot be considered purified at all. What then, really, is reverse osmosis?

It is the process of forcing a solvent from an area of high solute concentration through a membrane to an area of low solute concentration by applying pressure. The concept of thorough filtering is applied here. This modern system utilizes modern technology to better purify the water subjected to it. It is also called hyper filtration because it is the finest way of filtering water and removing particles as small as dissolved ions. The use of the reverse osmosis system therefore gives a good degree of assurance that the water is indeed purified well.

lye soap

December 9th, 2008

The handmade soap of yesteryear has been making a comeback. More and more soap enthusiasts prefer good old lye soap over any commercial soap. The current soaps in the market contain many chemicals that may be harsh especially on sensitive skin.

Lye is a caustic agent that is obtained from wood ashes. They must be handled with care because they can also be irritating to the skin. However, with the right procedure and using the right measurements, a soap made of lye is actually mild and gentle. Natural oils such as aloe, coconut, almond, or jojoba can be added to the soap to make it more fragrant. Because it is all-natural, lye soap is recommended for those with delicate skin.
