I love to make my own skincare from the herbs I grow in my garden. The recipes for these products can be found below. Flowers and other aromatic plants are very suitable for infusing in oil which then forms the base of creams, salves, lotions and soaps.

Thanks for watching. Here are the recipes. The amounts are the ones that I used for six jars of cream but you can reduce or increase the amounts as you wish.
Rose Skin Cream
12 tablespoons Rose Infused Organic Sweet Almond Oil
6 tablespoons grated organic Cocoa Butter
6 tablespoons of Aloe Vera Gel
5 drops of Grapefruit Seed extract (Citricidal) and/or 1 Vit E capsule
Organic Rose Essential oil
Place the Rose infused oil into a bowl with the cocoa butter. Place in a bain marie until the cocoa butter has melted. Mix together and then place in the fridge until the mixture looks opaque - this takes about a half hour. Mix well until it resembles whipped cream. Add the Aloe Vera Gel and beat together well. To preserve, add the contents of 1 Vitamin E capsule and/ or the 5 drops of Citricidal. Mix/Beat well. Add the essential oil, (NB DO NOT use fragrance oil, you must use an essential oil, organic if possible). Spoon into your jars and label.
Lavender and Oatmeal Soap
1000g of Lavender infused organic olive oil
250g of Organic Coconut oil
450mls Lavender Bud tea
172g Caustic Soda
Handful of organic oats
Organic Lavender essential oil
Add the coconut oil to the Lavender infused olive oil and warm gently until the coconut oil melts. At the same time, strain the Lavender tea into a jug and add the lye. Stir well. Beware of the fumes - keep windows and doors open. When both mixtures reach approximately 50 degrees pour the lye mixture into the oil mixture and stir. Using a stick blender, blend the mix until it resembles a thick custard and a trail dripped over the surface stays on the surface. Now mix in the oats and then the essential oil. Pour into your moulds - I use washed and dried milk cartons with one side cut out.
Cover with baking paper and then with a towel or blanket for at least 24 hours. Remove from the moulds and slice into bars of soap. Allow to be air dried - I use a cake cooling tray - for a minimum of six weeks.
I hope you enjoy making these for your skin, for your loved ones. Feel empowered knowing that you know exactly what is in these skin care products.
Thanks so much for watching. Have a great week!
