Instructions
1. Get recipes for making your own natural cosmetics from websites such as Make Your Cosmetics and Cranberry Lane. These recipes have been tested with natural ingredients that are readily available. Kits are also available from Cranberry Lane for lip balm, creams and bath products.
2. Use quality ingredients. It's important to always use distilled water when your recipe calls for water.
3. Store your cosmetics in glass or plastic containers with lids.
4. Label and date each container of your cosmetics. Especially if you're giving it as a gift, it is important the recipient know what's in the product and what the anticipated shelf life is.
5. Check for reactions. Even though your cosmetics are made from all natural products, allergic reactions may still occur. Test with a small amount of product on the forearm and leave for overnight.
