In reply to: Terped paste success ... the spaghetti sauce paradigm, and a question for Zimra and Shanon posted by Catherine Cartwright Jones on September 9, 2001 at 15:13:44:

I got lucky at the local herb store (Marlene's Market and Deli for
those of you in the Seattle/Tacoma area) and bought tea tree oil
with the percent of terpineols on the side. The brand is Tea Tree
Therapy and the label advises 36% terpinol. I can get milk chocolate
on the vast white acreage of my thighs instead of the usual pumpkin.
I also achieve darker color on arms. My fingers go espresso. I mix
in a little neroli, cajeput or clovebud for scent but was unable to
find percents of terpineols on them so my mainstay has been the tea
tree. I just opened the box of oils to find the exact percent and
the smell is heavenly. To me it seems as if the best improvement in
color is not the places like palms and soles that will stain very
well with quality henna and good aftercare, rather in the places were
you could only previously get wimpy pumpkiny stains at best. Think
upper arms and lower backs. For impatient festival goers it is an
excellent mix. They almost never want hands and feet. They don't
take very good care of it. They want to know how soon they can
remove it. It is also good for slightly less impatient me. I like
the fact that the paste lasts quite well when kept in the fridge for
a few weeks.

Best Wishes
