    About this ebook

    Coconut Oil For Your Skin – Nourishing Your Body From The Outside In is a true labor of love. I worked very hard to create products that can be made and enjoyed by everyone. Here are a few quick reasons why I think you will love this eBook.

    The 66 recipes in this eBook are all simple to make. I made sure of that. I know that I do not have the time to sit in the kitchen for 8 hours trying to concoct a 4 ounce jar of face wash.

    The ingredients in the recipes are all readily available at health food stores and online. I have no interest in sending anyone on a wild goose chase for elusive and exotic ingredients.

    Every single one of my products work and they work great! Scratch that – they are fantastic. Plus, they are all customizable. You can pretty much use any essential oils of your choice should you decide to do something different than what I suggest.

    Just in case those reasons were not compelling enough, Coconut Oil For Your Skin also offers information on carrier oils, butters, and essential oils. I even included a pretty cool chart outlining both the physical and emotional benefits of the essential oils called for in the recipes. I also discuss storage of finished products as well as ingredients. Seriously – I did not leave anything out.

    That all sounds great but I am sure you are wondering about the recipes themselves. What can you expect to find in the eBook?
    13 recipes for scrubs;
    7 recipes for the bath/shower;
    12 recipes for body care products like lotions and creams including a cellulite cream and mature skin lotion;
    7 recipes dedicated to your face;
    5 shampoo recipes;
    4 recipes that serve as conditions and hair treatments;
    5 lip balms and;
    7 miscellaneous recipes such as insect repellant, deodorant, wart remover, “love potion,” toothpaste, and a PMS blend.

      PREFACE

      In 2009, I developed a deep love affair with coconut oil! I quickly discovered just how magnificent this oil really is and it became a staple in my home as part of my blossoming real foods lifestyle.

      I took my enthusiasm for coconut oil to the public platform and quite accidentally found a voice as an advocate for the many uses of coconut oil through my blog.

      I am the author of Hybrid Rasta Mama, a blog which provides my views, experience, insights, and research on any and all things related to conscious parenting, natural/mindful living, holistic health/wellness, real food, and Waldorf education/parenting. My goal is to inspire people around the world to take what I have researched and written, do further research if needed, and apply it to their families and their lives.

      This recipe eBook is just the tip of the iceberg. I could write a novel and still not scratch the surface of every recipe and variation. I wanted to provide readers (regardless of your experience making personal care products at home) with an easy-to-use resource that covers some of the basic recipes. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
