As the holidays are approaching, I'd like to start making holiday scented candles both for gift giving and just to burn around the house. Anyone have any good recipes?
Here's a different recipe for lotion bars:
This makes 3 1 oz bars
1oz Sweet Almond Oil
1oz Beeswax
1/2 oz Shea Butter
1/2 oz Cocoa Butter
A pinch of Jojoba Sheres (for color if you want to add color, this is optional)
Melt down, cool for a few then add what ever fragrance you desire)
This isn't actually a soap recipe, but a solid lotion bar recipe I love:
Combine equal weight measures of the following:
sweet almond oil
coconut oil
cocoa butter
beeswax
then add Jasmine essential oil (absolute but blended 6% in Jojoba oil)
I thought it would be fun to post pictures of some of my projects, but I'm sort of computer-dumb and I haen't the slightest clue how to do that. Can someone please walk me through the steps involved?
What are some essential oils and herbs that are safe for babies? I'm trying to put together a basket of gifts for an upcoming baby shower and just want to make sure I don't add something that will be harmful to a baby.
