Main Ingredients for DIY Body Care Recipes
On this page, you will find several natural body care recipes that contain 100% natural and organic ingredients.
The main ingredients you will need to make your own body butter and creams are shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax and safflower oil.
For scrubs, you can beat coconut oil, sugar and coffee for example.
Why are commercial body creams harmful?
They contain harmful chemicals that can disrupt hormones, creates infertility, develops allergies and cancer to name a few. You should stay away at all costs of ingredients you cannot read.
The most dangerous ingredients are parabens (on the labels, they can show as propylparaben, butyparaben, isobutiparaben) as you probably heard.
What you may not know is that “fragrance” is a common ingredient in most commercial beauty products. According to EWG “The word “fragrance” or “parfum” on the product label represents an undisclosed mixture of various scent chemicals and ingredients used as fragrance dispersants such as diethyl phthalate.
Fragrance mixes have been associated with allergies, dermatitis, respiratory distress and potential effects on the reproductive system.” Stay away from any products that include fragrance. Sadly some “natural” and even “organic” labeled body care products include fragrance and while you may think that it is such a low dose that it should not be harmful, the daily application and bioaccumulation in the blood can create a concentration over time that can cause health problems.
For all those reasons, it is a great idea to do your own body care recipes so you can control the ingredients that go into your skin and bloodstream. Plus, DIY body care is cost-efficient and quite fun!
