There are so many wonderful ingredients that can be used to create your own skincare and beauty products at home.
But for beginners there are SO many different recipes online with conflicting advice and insight into these powerful agents.
Today I’m breaking down my favourite carrier oils & plant based body butters. These ingredients are often used as the building blocks to DIY recipes. So it’s important we use them according to our individual beauty / skincare needs. Follow along for some insight as well as some recipes of our own you can use with the ingredients listed!
Let’s get started…
Butters
Cocoa
Rough patches, stretch marks, itchy or damaged skin.
Shea
Sensitive skin / eczema or dermatitis.
Mango

Kokum

If you want to try one of our recipes using your choice of nourishing body butters try our Whipped Body Butter recipe.
Oils

Argan
