LIP BALM
1/2 cup natural beeswax, grated
1/4 cup coconut oil
10 to 12 drops lemon essential oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 drops vitamin E oil
12 small plastic containers with lids

Place grated beeswax and coconut oil in heatproof glass bowl. In medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups water to boiling. Carefully place glass dish in boiling water; stir as wax begins to melt. When melted, remove bowl from saucepan. Stir in lemon essential oil, honey and vitamin E oil. Immediately pour into small containers, using small funnel. Cover; cool completely.

BODY BUTTER
Honey
Citrus
Coconut oil
Place equal amount of all three ingredients into a large bowl. Grate the citrus with a cheese grater. Mix until it's a complete cream and put into a sealable jar. You can get this exact one from a dollar store.

SOAP
5 oz. canola oil
15 oz. coconut oil
15 oz. olive oil
5 oz. safflower oil
5 oz. sunflower oil
12.6 oz. milk frozen to a slushy state
6.4 oz. lye.

Add 3 tablespoons of honey right before mixture reaches trace. Mix in 3 ounces of finely ground walnuts at trace. Wait 4 weeks before use.

SCRUB
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rose water
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 small jar Dried roses
optional 1-2 drops rose essential oil

Melt coconut oil. When melted, add the rose water and honey. Continue to mix until you have an almost uniform color. When you have an almost uniform color, continue mixing until the mixture has cooled a bit. Once cooled, slowly add the sugar while continuing to mix. You should come out with a grainy, soft, pasty formula. Add rose essential oil now if you so choose. Optional: Take a dried rose and steep for a few seconds in a hot water. Once the rose has softened, crumble the pieces on top of the mixture. The rose petals give the mixture an extra scrubbing factor. Makes 2 1/2 ounces.

FACE WASH
1/4 cup Raw Honey
1.5 tsp. - 1.5 TBSP Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. - 2 tsp. Nutmeg

Why the huge variation in amounts? It all depends on what consistency you like. Using less cinnamon and nutmeg will keep it smooth and light . More will make it more of a mask - a thick mud.

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
