I carry 35-40 fragrances at any given time in soap. 10-12 in sugar scrubs and bath bombs. 12-15 in lip balm. 10 in perfume. Then any other odds and ends I decide to whip up.
I use a piping bag for cake decorating. I fill the bag and cut the tip off and pipe into the bottle. Give the bottle a little bang on the counter once in while.
I currently make my own but when I started I used the lip balm base from Nature's Garden. I actually formulated my own from that one as it's simple and really nice.
I did the same thing for an infection. I used baby shampoo (no sting) and moist hot cloths. My ophthalmologist said to start using moisture drops. That alone has helped with the dry itchy eyes. Never thought to try castor oil. Will keep that in mind if it should happen again. Thank you!
I have made a few over time. I currently use 70% Avocado, 9% Castor Oil, 10% PS80, 5% FCO, 1% T50 (mixed tocopherals). I like it a lot. It removes my make-up well and doesn't dry my skin out.
What a great idea. Very nicely done! Unfortunately, I'm out of storage space...my husband may divorce me if I asked him to build one more thing that has to be stored. We don't have a garage or basement and a fairly small home. I've taken over most of it.
@jfc I'm not exactly sure. I found this recipe quite some time ago, tried it and it worked. So I just stuck with it. I mostly make them for me and my family. I tried selling them but they weren't big sellers. Most likely because I don't do a lot of shows during the colder months here.
This is the one I use: 1 oz menthol crystals (cover with 91% alcohol). Just enough to cover and dissolve. 8 oz. Baking soda, 4 oz. Citric Acid, 2 oz. Cornstarch
Sift dry ingredients, mix well. Add wet ingredient and mix well. I also add some eucalyptus or lavender to them.
I make shower steamers but use menthol crystals in them along with EO. If you post your recipe we may be able to help troubleshoot. How much EO are you using? That will play a big part in them having a good scent throw in the shower.
@Laura C - Wellington has different strengths as well. There are so many suppliers that have quality oils. You need to read reviews of which there are many here.
