mommyof1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 My first recipe contribution! I made this a few weeks ago and it felt and smelled wonderful! I can't take credit for the idea of using mango butter, but the rest is from lots of tweaking and research:Mango Massage Oil:1 oz Sweet Almond Oil1 oz Golden Jojoba Oil1 oz Frac. Coconut Oil1 oz Mango Butter1/4 tsp Mango Papaya FOVit E oil from 3-4 capsules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyof1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 This looks wonderful! I think I'll give this one a whirl..Go for it Let me know what you think - I really like the way my skin feels afterward. I did not have any problems with the mango butter solidifying, but if you do, just warm it up a bit. I always warm mine anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondk Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks for sharing I do have a question and that is which vit e capsules do you get? I have seen different strength (I guess that what you would call them). I do have the natural vit e from MMS how much would I use of that? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyof1 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Thanks for sharing I do have a question and that is which vit e capsules do you get? I have seen different strength (I guess that what you would call them). I do have the natural vit e from MMS how much would I use of that? TIAHi Diamond - the vitamin E capsules that I used are 400 IU per capsule and I used 3 of them, so there is 1200 IU in that batch. I added it because Vit E is good for the skin and also acts as an antioxidant to prolong the shelf life of the almond oil. As for how much of the natural Vit E to use, I really do not know. According to the MMS site, 1 gram of their natural Vit E contains 250 IU and the recommended usage rate is 0.10% - 0.25%. HTHAnd everyone is very welcome - hope you like it!

mommyof1 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Silly question when you make this how do you package this? in bottles or jars?I do not sell B&B - just play and experiment for myself and hubby. But you will want to package it in a bottle to be able to pour it into your hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriegreen Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I was told the vitamin E capsules are not the same as the vitamin E sold for bath products & cosmetics and that it would go rancid fairly quick. Has anyone else run into similar information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Faeriegreen, I would post your question in the B&B area to get more views to your question. Definetely a good question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
