Botanical Skin Care Recipe Book

Product Information

I wanted to find a way to reduce the amount of toxins and plastic bottles on a daily basis via personal care products. This book is exactly what I’ve been looking for. There’s lots of recipes for hair, skin and body. The thing I have made is a simple strawberry scrub and it was easy and loved it. I’m ready to ditch the drug store toiletries. And if I can make them, even better!” Herbal skin care is my favorite type of skincare as it harnesses the power of botanicals to deliver naturally active products that positively impact the skin. Grind dried flowers in a mortar and pestle or break them up in your clean hands to produce smaller pieces. Fill a dry, sterilized glass jar half full with dried flowers. This soothing unisex shaving cream is infused with a common garden weed! That’s right, wild mallow has a lot of wonderful soothing properties and is perfect for a summertime shaving cream. It infuses oil with softness; since it is slightly mucilagenous, the oil it infuses will be silky and soothing. It has cooling properties perfect for legs or faces that have gotten a bit too much sun or maybe some bug bites (it’s summer leg season* after all.) Dried plantain is also soothing to the skin and can help soothe breakouts, bug bites, and more. I think you will enjoy the woodsy unisex fragrance and silky texture of this recipe!

Expand your knowledge of herbal skin care and discover the relation between nutrition and your skin with the Botanical Skin Care Course from The Herbal Academy. Keep reading to learn why I recommend this in depth course, plus how to make a vanilla whipped body butter recipe for dry skin. Some people read cookbooks for fun, I read skin care and herb books for fun. So this one is a perfect match for me. Turning blender on a low-medium setting or using an immersion blender in a bowl, slowly add hydrosol mixture to oil mixture while blending. Mixture will begin to emulsify and become creamy. Avoid overmixing. Cream will set up a bit more as it cools. I loved learning about the basic energetic categories of Western herbalism—hot, cold, damp, and dry—to provide a more nuanced view of skin health. It was highly enlightening as were the sections on Ayurveda skin care and skin care in Chinese medicine. One of the more important lessons, however, covered the commercial ingredients we should be avoiding and why they are harmful. I was most surprised to learn that retinol, which is practically a staple in anti-aging skin care products, should be avoided due to its numerous negative side effects. Get inspired, get crafty, and get ready, because we welcome you to join us in a remarkably rewarding, life-changing maker’s quest to create your own good-for-the-body, sumptuous skin care products at home. We have taken the dreaming out of making your own herbal products and made it a reality for you – all while teaching you the many ways that herbs can benefit the skin both inside and out!

Vanilla Whipped Body Butter Recipe

Once you start the course, you have full access to that course for a full year from the day you begin. Oh, the pure joy and magic of a gorgeously illustrated and curated herbal recipe book! It is with a glorious recipe book such as this, that reinforces my (often misunderstood) habitual need to save every glass jar I’ve ever touched for herbal infusions. I love making my own herbal body care items, and once you’ve started, you’ll know how incredibly easy, fun and *super inexpensive* high quality, skin nourishing, plant based body care can be. This Botanical Skin Care Recipe Book from Herbal Academy is by far the most thorough topical herbal preparations book I’ve ever owned, and I’m diving in deep this month, making everything from tinted lip balms, to dry shampoo, to infused oils, and whipped body butters.” We all have to make good choices for our lives and our health, and we also want to do the very best for those we love. So why am I sharing this recipe? I’m sharing it because there are some people who really do have favorable experiences with soap as shampoo. When the Herbal Academy sent me their Botanical Skincare Recipe Book, I naturally looked through the soap recipes at the end and the shampoo bar caught my eye.
