Hemp Seed and Rosehip Shampoo

Hemp Seed and Rosehip Shampoo
Hemp seed oil offers so many benefits, for use in both food and body-care products. Fresh, fragrant and supremely gentle, this shampoo is good for even the most delicate scalps.
Best for: Sensitive scalps and children's hair

2 to 3 Tbsp. (30-45 ml) fresh rosehips (see Tips)
4.9 oz. (140 g) mineral water
4.6 oz. (130 g) coco betaine (see Tips)
.1 oz. (3 g) hemp seed oil 15 drops grapefruit essential oil

Place rosehips in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, bring mineral water to a boil. Pour boiling mineral water over rosehips. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth, strain rosehip infusion into a clean bowl. Let cool completely. Pour infusion, coco betaine, hemp seed oil and grapefruit essential oil into a bottle. Seal tightly. Shake to combine. Tips: Rosehips are the oval fruits created when a rose bush has finished flowering. Pick them from rose bushes that have not been sprayed with pesticides, or buy organic rosehips if you can find them.

Tip: Coco betaine (short for cocamido­propyl betaine) is a surfactant made from coconut oil and gives shampoos their cleaning power and lather. It’s easy to find at cosmetic-supply stores

Aromatherapy Vanilla Orange Massage Oil

you can get vanilla bean pods here

 

Vanilla and Orange Massage Oil

• 2 oz (60 ml) vanilla infused jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis)
• 20 drops Orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis)

Blend the two oils in a 2 oz (60 ml) PET plastic bottle with a flip top. If you love this massage oil as much as I do, you can easily increase the recipe to make more. (I usually make 2 to 4 oz/120 ml each time.)

Lip Balm
a delicious and soothing vanilla and citrus lip balm

10 drops distilled Lime
5 drops Orange (Sweet)
1 oz Beeswax Pellets — Organic
1 oz Vanilla Infused Jojoba Oil — Certified Organic
2 oz Coconut Oil — Virgin and Organic
Lip balm tubes (size: about 5 mLs)
Lip balm tray
Directions:

1. Melt 1 oz beeswax and 1 oz vanilla jojoba in a double boiler.
2. Once melted, add 2 oz coconut oil.
3. Once melted, take off the stove and add the lime and orange essential oils.
4. Stir and pour immediately (or use a pipette or dropper) into lip balm tubes (this is easiest if you have a lip balm tray for holding the tubes while you pour).

For a double boiler, try a Pyrex measuring cup rested in a soup pot filled halfway with water. This recipe makes about 24 sticks if you use a 5 mL size tube. How many tubes you fill will vary according to how high you fill them, and how exact you (and your scale) are when you weigh your ingredients.

Vanilla and Lavender Salt Scrub
a skin soothing shower scrub

3 oz salts (I like 2 oz of pink Himalayan salts mixed with 1 oz of Epsom salts)
3 oz vanilla jojoba
1 oz dried organic lavender flowers
15 drops Lavender essential oil
4 oz jar
Directions:

1. Grind all the salts and the lavender flowers in a small coffee grinder until they are a fine texture. (I have a separate grinder reserved for bath salts, as coffee tasting like vanilla and lavender bath salts can be a bummer first thing in the morning!)
2. Add the vanilla jojoba to the salts and stir.
3. Add your essential oils and mix.

Our Spa Recipe For Tried Hardworking Feet

 

 

At my spa we love natural products and have developed some  really great pedicures as well as facial treatment.  Our clients love  this, they constantly refer new people to us and they constantly want some of these treatments to use at home.

 

We decided to package up some of our treatment recipes and sell them. We make a nice extra income from our homemade natural remedies. Here's some of our top recipes for foot care.

 

 

Moisturizing Foot Salve

½ cup organic Sweet Almond Oil
½ cup organic Jojoba Oil
1 ounce Beeswax
20 drops organic Lemongrass essential oil
10 drops organic Tea Tree essential oil
10 drops Bergamot Mint essential oil
Optional: organic Roman Chamomile essential oil, organic Lemon Balm essential oil

In a Pyrex bowl or 4-cup measuring cup, add oils and beeswax. Heat over boiling water until melted and combined. Remove from heat and stir in essential oils. Pour into tins or jars. This recipe makes 10 ounces of salve, enough to fill two 4-ounce tins and one 2-ounce tin. Let cool until solid (this will only take an hour or so.)

I like to put on cotton socks after slathering my feet with this salve and it doesn’t have to be used only after a foot soak. Rubbing it on your feet in the morning after a shower or prior to going to bed are both great ways to add moisture to overworked feet on a daily basis. Feel free to try different oil combinations or essential oils to suit your personal likes and needs.

Soothing Foot Powder

¼ cup French Green or White Cosmetic Clay
¼ cup Baking Soda
¼ cup Arrowroot Powder or cornstarch
¼ cup Marshmallow Root Powder
10 drops organic Peppermint essential oil
10 drops organic Eucalyptus essential oil

Combine all ingredients well and put into a powder container (or keep in a box or tin and use a brush or powder puff.) Sprinkle on feet or in shoes to absorb moisture and soothe hard-working feet.

we get almost all  supplies including our packaging  at Rose Mountain Herbs if you want to try these  recipes you'll find all the stuff you need here on my affiliate link below. Check it out! and THANKS!
