Does anyone know of any completely organic shampoo’s and styling products that are available?

Question by belle_of_the_ball_1234: Does anyone know of any completely organic shampoo’s and styling products that are available?
I am interested in getting some shampoo which is completely organic, and totally chemical free! It cannot contain parabens or phlates, and has to contain natural ingredients like plant extracts etc. I’ve seen some I like by The Organic Pharmacy but it is £20, and that is a bit expensive for me, can anyone suggest another organic brand that is good but retails at a reasonable price? It would also be helpful if they had styling products in the same range, like serum and straightening balm if possible. Many thanks!

Question by Kay: How long do opened organic refrigerated items last?
I have organic mustard and organic soy mayonnaise that expire in a month but I bought them maybe a year ago and opened them. They’ve been refrigerated—are they good or bad?

They will be fine. If they start to smell off, chuck them out.

Q&A: What organic foods can be stored and eaten on the run?

Posted on December 3, 2011 by HealthyCook| Leave a comment

Question by Rachel: What organic foods can be stored and eaten on the run?
I eat lunch at school during classes. I want organic foods instead of packaged cracker sandwiches. What can I get that has a long shelf life and doesn’t have to be refrigerated or prepared every day? I don’t want any mixed nuts or dried fruit mix things.

Best answer:

Answer by James
Hi, I’m a Nutrition student.

Choosing to eat organic foods is a great choice. Organic berries and bananas are a great choice if you don’t have refrigeration. Also, almost any vegetable will do fine for a few hours without refrigeration. Don’t forget to include a protein source like a meat or cheese in your lunch.

Hope this helps.

How important is organic chemistry to a chemical engineer?

Posted on December 2, 2011 by HealthyCook| Leave a comment

Question by Eva: How important is organic chemistry to a chemical engineer?
I was thinking of taking the easier organic chemistry alternative to the full year organic course. Both complete the requirement at my university for organic chemistry as a Chem eng major. But I want to be the best engineer I can be and I was thinking would having that full course organic chemitsry be more beneficial to me overall? Do chemical engineers ever have to use organic Chem later on?

Best answer:

Answer by Elly
Organic chem is important for chemical engineering, I have finished my chemistry requirement for chemical engineering and I find that organic chem really complements my knowledge especially in material science class and later on when we’ll take polymer science classes and also when you take petroleum engineering classes.
My advice is enjoy a full year of organic chem, because its really a challenge to complete it and it makes you a better engineer!

Q&A: How do you get organic tropical fruits if you don’t live in tropical areas?

Posted on December 2, 2011 by HealthyCook| Leave a comment

Question by airbender: How do you get organic tropical fruits if you don’t live in tropical areas?
I live in Maryland and am longing to get all the organic cherimoyas, sapotes, jackfruit, and more from the awesome farms in Hawaii and California, but they don’t ship! Does anyone know how to buy organic tropical fruit like the ones listed above?

Best answer:

Answer by Carolyn
Go to a high-end grocery store and ask for the produce manager. They have resources that the public does not have.

An alternative source would be look on-line for a grower in the U.S, probably Florida that specializes in organic or exotic fruit.

How organic is this black mulch you can usually find at nurseries and would it be good to work into clay?

Posted on December 1, 2011 by HealthyCook| 2 Comments

Question by *: How organic is this black mulch you can usually find at nurseries and would it be good to work into clay?
I am wondering if I tilled this black mulch that you usually find at nurseries into clay dirt, if it would make it like a nice topsoil quality type of dirt or not.

and how organic is the stuff used to make black mulch usually?
what is usually in it ?

and would this make the clay dirt drain a lot better by tilling it with this mulch?

thanks for your answers!

Best answer:

Answer by J F
The best mulch for clay soil is leaf mulch. I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about. I’ve used it with great success.

What’s the difference between inorganic and organic solvents?

Posted on November 30, 2011 by HealthyCook| 3 Comments

Question by reichs: What’s the difference between inorganic and organic solvents?
1. My chemistry textbook talks all about inorganic and organic solvents, but they don’t explain WHAT they are exactly.

2. Do they have different solubility characteristics? Like an organic solvent would dissolve organic compounds?

3. What makes something more soluble in an organic solvent?

Thanks for the help, and no, I’m not asking you to do my homework. I’m reviewing for my chemistry exam!

Best answer:

Answer by ETAdvanceTeam
1. Organic solvents always contain the element carbon.
Inorganic solvents don’t contain the element carbon.
The most common solvent, water, is an example of an inorganic solvent.
There are many more organic solvents than inorganic solvents.
2. Using the adage “like dissolves like” is helpful in determining solubility characteristics of a compound in a given solvent. For example, paraffin wax would dissolve in a hydrocarbon solvent such as cyclohexane, because they are both hydrocarbons. Paraffin wax would not dissove in a polar solvent such as water.
3. Depends on the polarity of the compound to be dissolved and the polartiy of the organic solvent. For example, the polar organic compound benzoic acid has much more solubility in ethanol (a polar organic solvent) than cyclohexane (a nonpolar organic solvent).
