Blissful body Mousse

Blissful Body Mousse




Ingredients

5 Ounces Shea Butter, Crushed and Refined

3 Ounces Peach Kernel Oil

3 Ounces Safflower Oil, High Linoleic

1 Ounce Jojoba Esters, 70 (MP70)

1 Teaspoon Cornstarch

Essential Oil Blend

15 drops Bourbon Vanilla Absolute

25 drops Bergamot, Ivory Coast

5 Drops Ylang Ylang Extra, Madagascar



Directions

In a double boiler, melt and heat the Shea Butter to approximately 175 Degrees Fahrenheit. Hold the melted Shea Butter at this temperature for at least twenty minutes before adding the Jojoba Esters. Holding the melted Shea Butter at this heat for twenty minutes will allow tiny crystals in the butter to fully melt, allowing a smooth, even texture to form when the butter has cooled. As soon as the Jojoba Esters have melted remove the mixture from heat. Depending on your double boiler you may have to transfer the mixture to a bowl. Next, add the Peach Kernel and Safflower Oils, and the Cornstarch. Stir the mixture well then begin to whip it. I recommend using a hand or stand mixer for this step, as the whipping process can take a fairly long time. Whip the mixture for 5 - 10 minutes then add the Essential Oil Blend. Continue to whip the mixture for another 5 - 10 minutes. As the mixture cools it will thicken, and firm up. The finished mixture can be spooned or piped into containers. Within a few hours, the Mousse should set and become stiff.



Packaging and Usage

The Blissful Body Mousse looks fabulous packed in Flat PET Jars. It can also be stored in Flat or Dome Cream Jars. This recipe will fill about 20 ounces of volume. It should fill about five 4 Ounce Jars or ten 2 Ounce Jars.

Lemongrass salt scrub

Lemongrass Salt Scrub
Makes about 8 ounces of scrub



Ingredients

1 cup Fine or Medium Grain Dead Sea Salt

1/2 ounce Mango Butter

1/2 ounce Babassu Oil

1 ounce Poppy Seed Oil

2 teaspoons Yellow Illite Clay

10 drops Lemongrass Essential Oil

10 drops Vanilla Absolute (Optional - This helps to soften the strong aroma of Lemongrass Essential Oil. You can also use a more economic synthetic Vanilla Fragrance Oil.)

Directions

Gently warm the Mango Butter and Babassu Oils until they are completely melted. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and oil with the Poppy Seed Oil and the Dead Sea Salt. Stir well, and then add the Yellow Illite Clay and Essential Oils. Stir the mixture well, making sure to fully disperse the Essential Oils and Clay. Add a preservative if you'd like before spooning the mixture into jars.

Packaging and Usage

I prefer to package this scrub in PET Plastic Jars. These crystal clear jars show off the product well and are very durable. In a sealed container, this scrub should last several months, but after it is opened it can easily become contaminated during use. Keeping the jar away from water, and using clean utensils to scoop out the scrub will help to keep it from becoming contaminated. You can also package the scrub in single serving containers so that they will be used up completely after they opened.
