Make
your own Aromatherapy Cosmetics When
local markets were not available or didn’t carry personal care products housewives made their own cosmetics such as
soaps, lotions and creams. When big industry came along people began to look down on homemade cosmetics. The big companies
used cheaper synthetic chemicals in their formulas. Synthetic chemicals can often give more immediate results but they can
be harsh or even toxic to our systems. Making
your own cosmetics can be a lot of fun and can be something kids can do. By making your own cosmetics you can even save yourself
money. A lot of the homemade cosmetics are mixed together with out heating or cooking. Ointments, lip balms and bar lotions
are simply heated to the low melting point in a double boiler, so if your kids are used to working at the stove this will
be easy for them too. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of making cosmetics such as lotions and such you can
buy them unscented and add your own essential oils. Making soap can be a little more complicated
but if you have a good book that carefully explains each step it can be a lot of fun too. I found that Natural Soap Making to be an excellent book, you will also learn how to make lotion. I
get almost all of my bulk ingredients for making cosmetics from Mountain Rose Herbs. They have a large selection and a lot
of what they have is organic. The prices are really very good. Before you begin making your own
cosmetics you need to have a good understanding of essential oils.
You will also discover how to develop the business processes
that will ensure you can run your business in an effective, sustainable and repeatable way.
