Welcome! So glad you are here to learn how to make various body and bath products in your own home.
These are some of the things I will be teaching how to make:
- Lip Balm
- Solid Lotion
- Face Cream
- Body Oil / Massage Oil
- Glycerine Soaps
- Cold Process Soaps
- Salves
- Tinctures
- Perfumes: Sprays, Solid & Roll-on
- Infused Herbal Oils for soaps, lotions, perfumes and cooking
- Salt / Sugar Scrub
- Hair Mask & Hot Oil Treatments
- Face Mask
- Deodorant
- Face Toner
My hope will be that you will use botanicals to create these from around your yard, so you will have a fresh supply of plants or that you will begin planting a garden or forage for some of these ingredients. My mind set is to start using what we have around us, though we must make sure that it is clean and not full of pesticides.
You really do not need a bunch of equipment, and what you will need will be mostly from your kitchen. A scale that measures both oz. and grams will be one of those must have items.
For the lotions and face creams you will need to get a few ingredients online, though most all of the other ingredients can be found in your yard and locally from the store. When making cold processed soap, you will need to be a chemist and use protective ware while making soap.
Well I hope you are excited to find out how to make these for yourself, family and friends, and in doing so feel great in what you have accomplished and that you are using natural products.
For me I believe Living a Simpler Lifestyle is a must!
