1 cup Shea butter 1 cup Mango butter 1 cup Sweet almond oil 1 cup Coconut oil ESSENTIAL OIL of your choice (We love Nature's Sunshine Peppermint oil) In a double boiler, start melting shea butter first, as it is the hardest oil and takes the longest to melt. When it is about 1/2 way melted, add mango butter. When that is almost melted, turn off the heat and add coconut oil and sweet almond oil. Pour the completely melted mixture into a mixing bowl. Let it cool and then continue chilling in the fridge for about 3 hours or until it is completely opaque in color and has a firm but soft texture. You should be able to easily press your finger into the "butter" when it's ready to be whipped. Remove from fridge. If you let it go too long and it gets too hard to whip, just let it sit out for a little bit. Add ESSENTIAL OIL of your choice at this point and beat with a hand mixer for a few minutes until it becomes thick and creamy. It will get white in color and fluff up. It should look like butter cream frosting! Divide into small jars to store or give as a great homemade gift!

2.5 cups baking soda
3/4 cup coconut oil 3 Tbsp Himalayan (pink) sea salt 100 drops Nature's Sunshine Peppermint essential oil 1/4-1/2 cup Nature's Sunshine Xylitol (to taste) Mix all ingredients in an electric mixer (or a hand mixer) until well combined. This recipe makes 3 3/4 cups total. NOTE: To like this product you have to "think different". This product will not lather up like traditional toothpaste. I also recommend using a soft bristle brush so that you do not get too abrasive with your gums. This product has some "grit" to it. I put a little on my toothbrush, brush my bottom teeth, then add more and brush my upper teeth. The baking soda and pink sea salt add essential minerals to keep our teeth, enamel and gums strong. We have gone seriously wrong in what we choose to brush our teeth with. Most commercial products do nothing to feed or re-mineralize our teeth, not to mention the fluoride, chemicals, preservatives and other garbage in most all oral hygeine products. After I brush, I put 1 drop of Peppermint oil on the back of my hand and lick it off for some extreme minty breath (when I'm not nursing as peppermint can reduce milk production). It's strong, but so so good for you! 1 cup Epsom salt
1/4 cup Himalayan (pink) salt 1/4 cup+ coconut oil NATURE'S SUNSHINE Essential Oil of your choice (we love peppermint) Mix all ingredients well in an electric mixer. Add the essential oils while it's mixing. You may like more or less than our suggestion, so add at your own pace ;) Place finished product into glass jars for storing or gifting. YOU WILL NEED: 2 oz. Glass dropper bottle with glass dropper (glass dropper is really important when using essential oils) BASE: (can all be found on amazon) Equal parts of the following: (fill to the base of the neck of the bottle) Pomegranate oil Coffee bean oil Rose hip oil Carrot seed oil Jojoba oil Vitamin E oil *If you like a lighter oil, use more jojoba oil & less of the heavier ones. You'll be surprised how quickly this absorbs into your skin, allowing you to apply makeup within 5-10min. It does not leave you "greasy". For really DRY skin, you may want to leave out the Jojoba oil. NATURE'S SUNSHINE ESSENTIAL OILS:
*ALL of these oils are available at wholesale cost through my ONLINE STORE Geranium 20-30 drops (tightens & tones) Lavender 15-20 drops (helps acne; reduces redness/inflammation; evens skin tone; relaxing) Frankincense 5-10 drops (heals cellular damage, blemishes, scars) Rose 5-8 drops (#1 oil for anti-aging; avoid if pregnant) NOTE: I used this serum combined with my DIY Body Butter as stretchmark cream during my pregnancy. I used 4 drops of the Rose essential oil in it. I gained 55 healthy pounds, had a 9pound, 9ounce baby and didn't get a single stretchmark! (grace). A healthy gut/gall bladder/liver to process fats also plays a role in this. Watch my video workshop on making all my body products. There is a LOT of good health info, things to know about using oils, things to beware of, etc. Traditional skin care products are messing with our hormones, liver & so much more. It is vital to our health in this toxic age we are living in to be wise about what's going ON our skin and INTO our bodies. For this same reason, you need to know the importance of using 100% PURE essential oils. "Therapeutic grade" is gimmicky, marketing hype and holds no real weight. Nature's Sunshine products are managed from seed to bottle and go far beyond organic standards. We test EVERY batch. Watch this video on our SureSource Guarantee. Essential oils are POWERFUL & just as they pack a lot of medicinal punch, if they contain heavy metals, pesticides, are diluted, etc...all of that garbage is ALSO going straight into your cells within minutes, packing a serious toxic hit to your body at the cellular level. Be informed, pray about everything and shop wisely. |
