This has been a year to remember in so many ways for Simple Life Mom. I’ve out together a compilation of the best of the best of this year’s top 21 articles on natural bath and natural beauty product recipes.
These are all 100% natural recipes with no compromises.
There are no unnecessary preservatives because you are making these recipes yourself and using them yourself or giving them to friends. No multiple year shelf life needed. Instead, natural antioxidants like rosemary essential oil or vitamin e, and precautions like cleaning your hands or keeping an item sealed until use, extends shelf like and makes creating your own bath and beauty product recipes safe and easy to use.
I use great ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, jojoba, and essential oils.
Please see my Essential Oil Safety article before getting started s that you get the most out of your oils and use them with knowledge.
