Homemade Beauty Links I LOVE
June 11, 2008 by Jennifer
It’s a crazy week, so instead of sharing some of my recipes, I’m going to share some of my favorite recipe links. Now, here’s the deal. I don’t always find organic body care recipe links. Do I make the item organic – why yes, and you can too. Almost any homemade beauty care recipe can be converted to organic easily. Also, if an item in a recipe doesn’t suit me, I’ll change it up.
Don’t forget to read Homemade Beauty Products – Safety 101 before you get started.
My fave links:
Channel your inner princess with homemade body glitter: I don’t do makeup, but I admit it; I am sort of into my sparkles from time to time. This would also make a wonderful gift for a child.
Homemade beeswax lip balm: Too many ads at this site, but a good recipe.
A cool collection of lotion bars – I’ve altered many of them, but they give a great jumping off point, and some I like just how they are. These are nice because they’re non-messy.
Nice starter cleansing cream recipe: Alter with fruits, milks, or oils if you like.
Plus one random recipe I’ve never tried: Homemade Deodorant Recipe

Hi Jennifer,
brilliant article – thank you! I especially love the link to the lotion bars. I’ve been making my own things for a few years, but never made a lotion bar. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’ve not use a ‘dry’ deodorant either; I mix up witch hazel, glycerine and my favourite essential oils for a spray that smells so lovely
I’ve heard great things about the bicarbonate of soda route though.

I absolutely love all the homemade beauty stuff you post at Tree Hugging Family. I’ve gotten a couple great recipes through here:)
Thanks Mrs Green, lotion bars are pretty cool and it seems easy to alter them any which way you choose.
Linette – good! I’m glad you’ve found some stuff to use. Now, are you going to make glitter!
I just might, it’d be great for a little girls spa, or tea party:)
