Salves

Homemade Cosmetics – recipes

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

As well as trying to get better and more proficient in baking and making healthier food, I decided along the way to try and use other homemade things. It’s not just food and drink that goes into our systems, it’s what we also put on our skin. So, thought it might be useful to have alongside my MKW Recipes for food, that I should have a handy post for the cosmetics, as well as the one I already have for dandelion infused ones. As with the food one, i’ll add to this as I find new combos or ideas.

Mango Butter Moisturiser Recipe

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

I’ve been making a few moisturisers here and there, and as they last a while, takes some time to get around to needing a new one. But that time came, so I decided to make a predominantly mango butter one. For one pot like the one in the photo (around 2oz), the amounts are –

25g Mango Butter

8g Shea Butter

1 tbsp geranium infused coconut oil

1 tbsp calendula infused olive oil

10 drops jasmine essential oil

10 drops sweet orange essential oil

The method can be viewed in my Dandelion Moisturiser recipe.

As it is coming up to that time of year again, thought it might be nice to share a few gift options if you like handmade things for your skin.

From my own site, you can find various salves for your skin, using natural ingredients, some of the flowers grown in my own garden, or picked locally.
