Rita…Who? A Simple Dive Into My Favorite Emulsifier

Just a reminder that I am not a licensed professional. I am a self taught maker with a deep interest in what goes into skincare products. I would encourage you to do your own research and consult with a doctor if pregnant or nursing or have chronic health issues.


 "What Exactly IS Rita Mulse?"

If you've never heard of Rita Mulse, you're not alone! Even many experienced DIY beauty makers don't know about this incredible ingredient. Think of it as the "magic eraser" for greasy body products.



The Simple Explanation: Rita Mulse is a specialized emulsifier - basically, it's what makes oil and water play nice together. But unlike regular emulsifiers that just prevent separation, Rita Mulse has a superpower: it creates products that feel luxurious and moisturizing on your skin, but rinse away completely clean.

Why This Matters: You know that frustrating feeling when you use a sugar scrub and your skin feels amazing, but then you're left with an oily film that won't wash off? Or when your expensive body butter feels heavy and greasy instead of silky? That's where Rita Mulse comes in.

The Real-World Magic: When I add Rita Mulse to my scrubs and body products, something amazing happens. Your skin gets all the moisturizing benefits of those gorgeous oils and butters, but when you rinse off, you're left with soft, conditioned skin - not a slippery bathtub and greasy residue.

Think of it like this: It's the difference between using a cheap drugstore body wash that strips your skin, and a luxury spa treatment that leaves you glowing. Rita Mulse gives you that spa experience at home, every time.

The bottom line: It transforms ordinary DIY recipes into professional-quality products that actually work the way you want them to.

Please consult with a doctor if you are pregnant or nursing. When Your Hands Tell the Story: Menopause and Dry, Cracking Skin Our hands do it all — garden, cook, comfort, carry — and during menopause, they begin to show just how much they’ve given. If you’ve noticed your hands suddenly feeling dry, thin, or even cracking more than usual, you're not alone. These shifts are common and often catch us off guard, even when we’re taking great care of the rest of our skin. Why Does Menopause Hit Your Hands So Hard? During menopause, declining estrogen levels affect your skin’s natural moisture barrier. This leads to: - Reduced oil production - Thinner, more fragile skin - Slower healing - Increased sensitivity to soaps, sanitizers, and cold weather When you add hand washing, gardening, or work...
