Pat's salt scrub 4 cups soybean oil 4 oz sweet almond oil 3 oz sweet orange eo ½ oz avocado oil ½ oz of peppermint eo 1/8 oz of rosemary eo ¼ oz of grapefruit eo vitamin e or ROE, (be stingy with the ROE, it smells quite strongly) mix all of the ingredients, this makes a lot. measure out how much salt you want to use and pour and mix the above mixture into the salt until it is the consistency that you like. This is a very large recipe., you can cut it in half or more if you don't need as much.
This is the best blend that I have tried. Melt all ingredients and heat in the microwave. Add flavor and pour into lip balm tube or lip balm pot.
Coloring Tip
Try infusing your oils in botanical matter for color. Alkanet has been used for centuries as lip coloring
Lip Gloss
57 grams Beeswax 57 grams Sweet Almond Oil 144 grams Castor oil 1/2 oz of honey Flavor to taste
You make this the same way you would for Lip Balm, but this is a much softer product that must be put into a pot as it is too soft to be in a tube. Melt all ingredients and heat in the microwave. Add flavor and pour into lip balm tube or lip balm pot.
Use a mini deodorant tube container for this. Makes a nice purse size. Melt all ingredients and add fragrance to the level you like. Pour into containers.
