My naturopath suggested I use tea tree on my skin as I have breakouts and it acts as an antibacterial. Do you think I could/should add it to this recipe or will the original recipe have antibacterial properties? thanks! I’m super excited about trying this recipe!

Also, how should it be blended into a liquid recipe? Is it best to dissolve in water? If so, will the water affect the shelf-life? Any advice would be great! (I am thinking of adding it to an after-sun spray.)

While I was browsing the internet to find an alternative, I stumbled on a few websites that claim that benzoyl peroxide (the main ingredient in Proactive) is a carcinogen. I searched for a natural alternative to benzoyl peroxide, and found out that green tea has antioxidants that fight free radicals that cause acne. I stumbled upon this site and decided to give this a try. I asked my godmother to help me because she's very crafty and likes to make and grow her own things. My godfather somehow got involved in the project. We all had a great time making the lotion and we all absolutely love the smell and everything about it. Great recipe! Will make it again!

I have tried the rosemary gladstar recipe twice and each time it emulsifies and blends but doesn't ever get really thick. any suggestions? i'm living overseas and don't have much access to skin lotion so i brought my own oils but have failed to get nice thick creamy lotions! I thought it was cool enough but could it be it was too warm? I only used 1/2 oz of beeswax (different recipe) and no lanolin, which i don't have access to. thanks for any help! Hi girls!

I'll be checking back hoping someone post some good suggestions for cleaning.
