My master recipe for this herbal oil is coarsely ground herbs infused in Olive Oil and steeped for 4 weeks cold.

I put together an extensive group of herbs to create this nourshing oil. This oil in loaded with all the ingredients necessary for healthy hair growth and a healthy scalp.

This oil is very light and absorbs into the skin immediately without leaving your hair heavy, greasy and weighed down.

DIRECTIONS: Massage oil into scalp and hair as needed.

You can use this oil as a hot oil treatment. Just put some of the oil in a heat proof container and place it in a hot water bath until the oil is very warm. Massage warm oil into the scalp and brush it through the hair.

For thick hair use 1-2 teaspoons or more of oil, For thinner or shorter hair use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon or more. Wrap hair with shower cap for 30min or more, then wash hair. It's not absolutely necessary to wash out the oil....you could leave it in if you wanted to.

My infused oil contains the following Organic Herbs:

Organic Burdock: Maintains and Promotes healthy Scalp, encourages hair growth, Improves Hair Strength, Shine and Body.

Comfrey Root: Most well known herb for healing Skin, Offers relief to dry itchy skin.

Organic Neem: Repairs Damaged Hair, Restores Sheen, Encourages Hair Growth.

***LITTLE WHITE DOTS in product
When Shea Butter has a change in temperature... warm to cold it changes the texture of it. Shea butter will crystalize and form little round dots. This creates a grainy texture in the product. However, The grainy texture is not an indication of poor quality or that the butter has "gone bad". Like most things that are pure and natural, they react to their environment. It does not change its effectiveness. When it comes into contact with your skin it will quickly melt on contact and become a soft consistency again. This is very common with shea butter and natural products. I keep my butters in the fridge to help avoid this from happening.

You can slowly heat the butter until it is completely melted, and cool it quickly in the refrigerator. Do not heat above what is needed to re-melt. This should take care of the white dots and grainy texture. The hair butter will last about a year if kept dry and away from water.

Ingredients: Infused olive oil consisting of the following Organic herbs: Burdock, Comfrey root, Neem, Chamomile, Nettle, Black Walnut Hull, Calendula Flowers, Rosemary Essential oil

I also added: Unrefined Raw Shea Butter, Organic Unrefined Cocoa Butter, First Cold Press Food Grade Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Organic Sesame Oil, Organic Avocado Oil, Organic Food Grade Coconut Oil, Pure Unrefined and Filtered Bees Wax.

Rich Body Butter - Lavender Rose - Mango - Coconut Lime

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:13:32 -0500

$15.00
This is body butter made the old fashioned way with premium oils and butters. No water added and no whipping to incorporate air making less product fit into the jar.

Most commercial body butters include water. The water is quickly absorbed into the surface of the skin and as soon as the water evaporates, the dry skin returns. For this reason I created my butters without water. The oils from the butters will combine with your natural sebum oils of the skin to penetrate deep into the skin keeping you moisturized.

This Listing is for One 4 ounce Jar of pure goodness. The consistency is like soft butter. The product glides on light and smooth and is immediately absorbed into the skin leaving a beautiful glow and non greasy to the touch.

I do not use refined oils so you can still smell the coco butter and raw shea butter through the fragrances. Using natural unrefined oils is important because your getting double benefits. Not only are you getting the moisturizing qualities of the oil but you are also getting all of natural protective antioxidants that is removed during the refining process.

In addition I'm very careful about heating my oils. Certain oils will become unstable and their molecular structure will change when heated at high temperatures. I heat only the solid oils that are heat stable and then let all other solid oils/butter melt with the residual heat at very low safe temperatures.

Absorbs quickly and easily into the skin without a heavy greasy feel.

Directions:
Apply after bathing, before and after exposure to sun or wind or whenever the skin feels dry or irritated. Dry and scaly areas benefit from spot applications throughout the day, and especially before night slumber.

I use only high quality skin safe Phthalates free fragrances and Premium essential oils. No colorants added.

Please indicate which scent you would like (ex Mango, Coconut Lime, Lavender Rose). You can also request "Fragrance Free" as well.
