Whipped shea butter recipe
I like this video. I am a person that learns visually, as well as reading and memorizing but its sooo much better when you can see it being done. More video's are diffenately forth coming
The mica powder for luster is a great idea, I must say. Loves it :)
Im pretty sure that you can purchase all these ingredients at Costal Scents or you can check out FNWL. If you have another source for purchasing your products you can use them as well.

Hair tamer serum
Hair Tamer Serumsubmitted by HBN President Donna Maria
Hair Tamer Serum is something easy and effective for dry climates and during the wintertime in any part of the world. Try this daily if you have especially dry hair, less often if your hair is more oily. Either way, you''re bound to experience less split ends as your hair becomes accustomed to being treated to the rich oils in this serum. The castor oil adds shine too!
Yield: 4 ounces
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Shelf Life: 6 months
Ingredients:
2 ounces liquid shea butter
1/2 ounce linseed oil
1/2 ounce jojoba oil
1/2 ounce castor oil
1/4 ounce vitamin E
1/4 ounce hemp seed oil
15 drops sweet orange essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops rosemary essential oil
2 drops tea tree essential oil
Blending Procedure:
Combine the essential oils in a small glass container and shake gently to mix. Store in a dark place for about 1 week.
Combine first 7 ingredients (all unscented oils) together in a plastic flip top bottle and shake gently to combine.
Add the essential oil blend to the unscented oils and shake well. To use, apply to hair that has been towel dried and work through with fingertips. Use more for long and especially dry hair to enhance styling capabilities and shine.
Hair Tamer Serum works best for thick, natural, textured dry, frizzy and/or curly locks! (If you do not like the feel of oil on your hair, this is not the product for you.)

Blissful body Mousse
Blissful Body Mousse
Ingredients
5 Ounces Shea Butter, Crushed and Refined
3 Ounces Peach Kernel Oil
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
Makes about 8 ounces of scrub
Ingredients
1 cup Fine or Medium Grain Dead Sea Salt
1/2 ounce Mango Butter1/2 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.
