I made a new batch of hand cream to give to people that I love with their Christmas gifts. I didn't have enough sweet almond oil but I did have red palm oil. I changed my formula to include less beeswax so that it wouldn't be so stiff and used the red palm oil since I didn't have any sweet almond oil.
Surprise! Surprise! The hand cream came out more like lotion and the red palm oil turned it bright yellow! I should package it in black and yellow striped containers. People seem to like it so far. I am waiting to hear from my nephew Clifford who is a fan of this lotion. I sent him a container of both the old formula and the new and hope to hear what he thinks.
Those look gorgeous! Do you sell your products anywhere?
ReplyDeleteis it good for dry skin?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments - it's great for my dry skin, but I haven't got a large sample for testing it! I don't at the moment sell my products but I do have thoughts about doing it in the future - I'd have to get better at consistency in the recipes I use.
ReplyDeleteNot related to your post, but I thought you would enjoy this article.
