Create Luxurious
Bath And Body Products with Natural Fragrance Oils

I don't know about you, but I'm
as hooked on bath and body products as I'm going to get! I can't
pass the aisle at Wal-Mart without taking a look. Trips to the
mall have become half hour events in the Bath and Body store.
Gift buying for female friends and family is now a much anticipated
outing because I can wander over to the bubble bath and lotion
and pick up a little something extra for myself while I'm buying
their present!
Now that there
are private label bath and body product businesses online, the
adventure never ends. I have found some of the most wonderful
products from small, online specialty shops that can't be found
in stores or malls. Many of these darling businesses, such as
‘Marlo Quinn' and others like it, hand-make and design their
own soaps, lotions, bubble baths and other personal care products,
most using all-natural, or mostly natural ingredients.
Ever wonder if you could make some
of your own bath and body products at home? I know, most of you
will audibly laugh at the idea of even having the time to take
a bubble bath, much less actually making something you'd want
to put in your bath water and sit in! Ok, I get it. You're busy.
But just imagine that you have a few minutes one weekend and
get the ingredients together to make your own deliciously scented,
natural spa products. Wouldn't that leave you with a warm sense
of accomplishment and ultimately a warm, frothy bubble bath or
scrubby facial mask? |

Let's assume you go with option
number two, and make a date with yourself to create something
wonderful. Hey, you could even go as far as getting together
some like-minded (bath product enthusiasts) friends, chill some
good wine and make a party out of it! Everyone can take home
their creations and report back later as to the overall effect
and results. I can make a party out of just about anything these
days.
So, here is an easy
and yummy smelling home-made soap recipe to get you started and
in the mood for more. You'll want to gather your ingredients
a few days in advance. Have fun!
‘A'
is for Apple Soap
4oz. clear,
unscented glycerine soap
1 Tablespoon liquid
soap
1 teaspoon liquid glycerine
1/2
teaspoon Apple Fragrance Oil
2 drops Red Food
Color
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Melt soap in small pan over low heat. Add Liquid
soap and glycerine and stir well gently Add fragrance, color
and cinnamon. Stir and let stand a couple minutes, until you
see it start to thicken and the cinnamon is mixed evenly. Pour
into molds such as muffin tins or character candy or soap molds.
Allow to set completely and store in zip lock storage bags.
When the soaps are all set, they make great little
gifts for special occasions. How cute would they be as a ‘Teacher
Gift' at Christmas time, especially if you use ‘apple' molds.
