Making your own aromatherapy bath and body products:

When I was a young girl I remember mixing up batches of soap. I would grate soap bars, remelt them, and then add color and fragrance. I would shape them into round balls. I had so much fun making the soaps! I would give them as gifts to my friends. Or when my family visited our house I would show them my soaps. Sometimes I would give them away in small bags or sell them. I only charged 25 cents or whatever they would donate.

Twenty years later this childhood hobby has become a reality. Of course when I was a young girl I just did it for fun, and had no idea that one day I would own my own cosmetic company in the Caribbean. I still make all the products for fun. The only difference now is that I no longer grate soap bars. Instead I make organic soaps using only nourishing oils and natural ingredients.

These are some of my favorite recipes. I have tested them on many happy clients. I love adding natural beauty products to my spa treatments. The recipes on this page are 100% natural and color free. You may add several drops of food coloring to get the desired color of your choice.

Supplies needed:
