Cosmetic Recipes: Conditioner

I made my favourite conditioner last weekend:



Oil  Phase:
50g BMTS
60g Jojoba Oil
10g Cetyl Alcohol

Water Phase:
20g Honeyquat
820g Water

Cool Down Phase:
20g Panthenol
20g Dimethicone
5g Vanila and Caramel F/O

I usually make smaller quantities (adding up to 100g) but I love this conditioner and dread running out. I shouldn't need to make any for a long time now.

Cosmetic Recipes: Cuticle Cream

My nails are still in pretty bad shape due to the acrylic nails I wore to Julie's wedding. I decided today to make some cuticle cream to help them grow.


Ingredients:
2 tbsp lanolin
1/2 tbsp apricot kernel oil
10 dps Myrrh E/O
10 dps Frankincense E/O
10 dps Lemon Verbena E/O

I only had one wee pot, so I also used some lip balm tubes as containers. I better label them properly.
