bells4shells Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Okay, I've searched the forum and cannot find a recipe for one. I'm in search of a recipe to make it and not buy a pre-made base so to speak. I'd like to know all the ingredients going into it and would like it to be paraben free. Anyone know any good recipes? Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye_SC Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have a recipe for BATH BUTTER, but not foaming.1/2 cup shea butter1/4 cup coconut oil1 teaspoon sweet almond oil3-6 drops essential oilMelt the cocoa butter in a double boiler on the stove. Add the coconut oil. When both are melted, remove from heat and add the sweet almond oil and essential oil. Stir until it starts to cool ( 5 minutes or so ). Let set up (in the refrigerator, if you wish). Put in your jar.Shelf Life: 6 to 8 months.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantnaturals Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 You'll need an emulsifier as well otherwise the oils will sit on top of the water and cling to the tub after the water drains.Start your formulation by looking at this recipe from the Herbarie:http://theherbarie.com/The-Herbaries-Butter-Cream-Bath-p-73.htmlIn addition, any kind of foaming is going to include a surfactant. The Herbarie caries a variety of natural-based surfactants including SCI Flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
