Glycerin and Rosewater

Rose water is one of the all-time best and most traditional facial cleansers, because rose is astringent, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and has a lovely scent.

Glycerin and Rosewater

1 cup rose-infused water
2 teaspoons glycerin
5 to 10 drops rose essential oil

Place a handful of dried rose petals in a mason jar, cover with boiling water, seal, and let set overnight.

Note that dried rose petals are available in many health food stores or online from herbal supply stores.

After the rose petal infusion has set overnight, strain.

Combine the ingredients in a pretty jar, and shake to blend.

*Note that you will extend the shelf life if you add 1/2 a teaspoon of grapefruit seed extract (available in health food stores). The antiseptic quality of essential oils will also act as a preservative.

Antifreeze Glycol

Antifreeze glycol is a low hazard, propylene glycol-based heat transfer fluid concentrate for closed water systems. This corrosion inhibitor is formulated with different compounds to effectively protect steel, cast iron, copper, cupric alloys, and aluminum against deterioration and freezing. Product is either clear or dyed with pink fluorescence for ease of detection.

Antifreeze is a colligative agent that reduces a mixture’s freezing point while simultaneously raises its boiling point. It is usually applied in internal combustion engines and other heat transfer applications like HVAC chillers and solar heaters. 

Antifreezes are used to prevent rigid enclosures from undergoing catastrophic deformation due to expansion in extreme low temperatures. This chemical was developed in response to the limitations of water as a heat transfer fluid. In the long run, galvanic corrosion is inevitable if only water is used as an engine coolant. 

Proper coolant and a pressurized system are imperatives to alleviate corrosion and freezing problems. With the right antifreeze fluid, engine coolant can withstand a wide range of temperature. There are various kinds of antifreeze fluids; the most popular are those derived from ethylene glycol, a poisonous alcohol.
