Homemade Body and Hair Cream For Children and Babies

 


Ensuring Your Child's Safety: A DIY Guide to Natural Skincare


As parents, safeguarding our children's well-being is our top priority, both inside and out. It's no wonder that most parents seek natural, effective solutions that offer protection without compromise.


Imagine a skincare recipe so simple and safe that you can whip it up with your little ones, turning the process into a delightful activity (with the promise of dealing with the mess later, of course).


Let's dive into the ingredients you'll need:

1. 4 oz (8 tablespoons) of Raw Unrefined Shea Butter

2. 2 tablespoons of Raw Virgin Coconut Oil

3. 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 1 tablespoon of Pure Coconut Oil

4. 2 drops of Natural Vitamin E Oil (as a preservative and antioxidant)

5. 1 drop of Natural Vanilla Essential Oil (for fragrance)

6. A glass jar with a tight lid

7. A large glass or wooden bowl

8. Electric or hand whisk mixer


Now, onto the mixing process:

1. Ensure your unrefined Shea butter is at room temperature, soft enough to work with but not melted.

2. Mash the Shea butter in a bowl, similar to mashing potatoes.

3. Add the base oils (coconut and olive) and continue mashing.

4. Incorporate the Vitamin E Oil for preservation and antioxidant benefits.

5. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and blend on high speed for about 5 minutes using an electric mixer or hand whisk.

6. Optionally, add your chosen essential oil for fragrance and continue mixing until well blended.

7. Transfer the whipped cream into clean, airtight glass jars and seal them tightly.

8. Store the jars in a dry, dark, and cool place at room temperature, such as your bathroom cabinet.


Voila! You've created a nourishing skincare product that's easy on the wallet and adored by your skin.


Some handy tips to keep in mind:

- Shea butter has a shelf life of approximately one to two years when stored in a dark, cool place.

- If your children can apply moisturiser independently, consider transferring a small amount of the cream into plastic containers for easier handling.

- Avoid adding water to homemade Shea butter creams, as it accelerates deterioration.

- Always wash your hands before using Shea butter or Shea butter cream to prevent contamination.

Otentika Maxitone Fade Cream Review of Side Effects

Image
Let's dive into my first encounter with the Otentika skincare line. It all started with a recommendation whispered to me through the grapevine. Initially, I dipped my toes into the Otentika pool with their Maxitone fade cream, housed in a charming pink container. The beauty guru at the shop swore by the "pink Otentika," claiming it had worked wonders on her own dark complexion. Intrigued, I figured, why not give it a shot? After all, my skin was pretty average, so the "normal skin" label on the pink Otentika seemed like a match. I didn't rush into using the product right away. Instead, I waited a week before diving in. The first few days felt pretty standard, except for the cream's unique texture—firm, yet oddly satisfying, with no overwhelming scent to speak of. Then, about a week in, something magical happened. My skin felt firmer, smoother, and not just on my face—everywhere. I even dared to hope that some of my pesky dark spots were fading, though it...

Skin Light Body Cream Review/SKIN LIGHT CREAM JAR ‘ORANGE TOP’ – 500mls

Image
Let me share my journey with Skin Light, a product encased in white packaging with an eye-catching orange screw cap, weighing in at 500 grams. **A Blast from the Past** Reflecting on my encounter with this product over 15 years ago, it's surprising how little information I could dig up, especially about the manufacturer or its ingredients—a definite cause for concern. **From Novice to Knowledgeable** Back then, I was a skincare novice, much like many others navigating the vast world of skincare. Let's be honest, who has the time or inclination to scrutinize every ingredient list unless you have a specific reason to? **Lessons Learned the Hard Way** Had I possessed the knowledge I do now about skincare chemicals, I would've steered clear of products like Skin Light. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way. Initially, its brightening and spot-clearing effects seemed like a miracle. It's almost addictive when you start seeing results—until the adverse effects rear their...
