As I have said before I am trying to develop a palm oil free recipe to submit for my safety assessment.
Here are the first few:
The first is made of coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil, olive oil and castor oil. How could that lot not leave your skin feeling beautiful. Also had a go with some individual moulds which came out a bit rough around the edges but with a bit of practice should be good.
The second was made of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter and rice bran oil. Rice bran oil is supposed to be really good at softening dry and sensitive skin. I also had a go at infusing some of the olive oil with sweet paprika which gave it an amazing terracotta colour which I love.
The last so far contains olive oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter and avocado oil. Avocado oil contains lots of vitamins A, D and E which are great for your skin and leaves it beautifully soft. It is fragranced with lavender and clary sage which I find very calming. I coloured half of the mix with natural chlorophyll but unfortunately forgot which way I was going to cut it so you only see the tiniest bit of swirl on the top and the rest just looks half white, half green. Doh!
Well, that's it so far. Fairly happy with all of them to be honest but going to be back in the kitchen in the next couple of weeks to try a few tweaks and find my favourite.
