Using Honey In Soap Making

Posted on 03-0303-03 by admin

I’ve always been fascinated by the natural ingredients that elevate our daily skincare routine – and honey is a real game-changer. Packed with moisturizing properties, honey isn’t just a staple in the kitchen; it’s a powerhouse in soap making. When infused into soap, honey attracts and retains moisture, which is exceptionally beneficial for keeping skin…

natural pain relievers

Posted on 01-04 by admin

There are natural pain relievers headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, and more. These natural ones are derived from a singular or combination of essential oils and other plant materials.

bug repellent plants

Posted on 01-04 by admin

These natural bug-repellent plants are the same that create the naturally repelling essential oils. As you can see, certain plants repel certain bugs and insects. But this allows you to create a bug-repellent that is perfect for your uses. For instance, you can make an ant-repelling spritzer with the mints and lime. Or if you…

Essential oils for healing

Posted on 01-0301-17 by admin

Yes, there sure are healing benefits with essential oils. Inside my back workroom, I have 100’s of bottles of essential oils and carrier oils. Plus all the other bottles of fragrance oils, soap-making oils, and packages of clays, salts, waxes, and on and on. Once you get started with making natural products, you won’t want…

Perfume oils

Posted on 01-0301-17 by admin

One of the funnest, easiest, and probably cheapest things I have made for events was to make your own perfume oils. I usually bottled up the top 10 best-selling soap scents into perfume oils. These were fairly popular and were sold for $12.95 each.

are perfumes toxic?

Posted on 01-0301-04 by admin

Are perfumes toxic? Those store brands’ scents and perfumes are. Natural ones created at an aromatherapist’s shop are not dangerous. And some store brands are worse than others.
