To ask for your cosmetics recipes?

[EastDulwichWife]

Does anyone have any foolproof recipes for cosmetics? Thinking handcream, lip balm, body cream etc.

There are lots online but I’m not convinced they’ve been written by people who have actually made them. Would love some recipes you can vouch for!

I make vanilla and coconut oil lotion bars. You need beeswax, coconut oil and vanilla essential oil. Melt the beeswax and coconut oil in a pan over a low heat then mix in a few drops of vanilla. Pour into a silicone mould/tray and then place in the fridge to set.

I also make coconut and sugar scrub bars. You need to use glycerin soap, which should be melted in a pan over the stove. Mix in some coconut oil and then take it off the heat, add in white granulated sugar. Mix together, add some essential oils and then pour into a silicone ice cube tray and leave to set in the fridge.

Those sound lovely! Will try them - thank you!
