Profile For gatamadriz - Anything is possible...pass the word
I have been making my own cosmetics since I was 13 (when God was a child). I have bought face cream, only in a pinch -- perhaps 6 times in thirty years. I use my own make up remover, make my own bath salths and soaks, scrubs, hair conditioner, face masques. Also, I love coming up with handy almost free uses for things around my house. I really believe that for most things that you can buy, you can make something of the same but usually superior quality
A jar of organic coconut oil goes a long way.: MOISTURIZER 3 heaping tablespoons coconut oil 1/4 cup organic safflower oil (another great one, it's a "dry" oil and is 30% vitamin E) tablespoon of shaved beeswax or paraffin. 10-20 drops of essential oil or tee tree oil (optional)
Melt this in the microwave on high for 30 seconds or until the wax is melted. Stir in essential oil if you are using it and pour it into a clean jar. Add 3 gel caps of vitamin E for very dry skin.
You can adjust the stiffness by putting in more beeswax, or melting again and adding more coconut oil or safflower oil
