When you invent something that leaps into cult reputation you must be prepared for the copy cats to follow. This can be constantly seen in both fashion and the cosmetics worlds. The environment and people around you are great sources of inspiration and being influenced by them doesn\u00b4t necessarily mean that you\u00b4re directly copying others actions. All the great musicians and artists have explored and practiced the works of masters on their way to finding their own “voice”.<\/p>\n

I was planning new concepts for articles for my blog when a friend of mine had a brilliant idea: DIY cosmetics inspired by cult products<\/strong>. The thought is to introduce inspiring cult products and create my own DIY recipe for them. The purpose is not to copy the product and to try and replicate it, but to pick a couple of inspiring ingredients from it and make a whole new product.\u00a0For instance a moisturiser may be the inspiration for an oil serum or a body moisturiser can be transformed into a body scrub. Surely there may be a couple of more straight forward copies like for instance this carrot-lavender-rosemary cleansing balm<\/strong>. You can find this \u00a0<\/strong>recipe in my book\u00a0Genuine Beauty<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(the book has been published in Finnish, but we’re trying to find an international publisher for it),\u00a0the inspiration for this product stems from\u00a0The Organic Pharmacy Carrot Butter Cleanser<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carrot Butter<\/strong><\/a> is unfortunately unavailable in Finland at the moment because there is no one importing the line currently. It\u00b4s a shame because all the products from this line that I have tested are high-quality and effective and the carrot butter was one of my favorites. But fret not, this invigorating and effective cleanser that brightens, cleanses and gently cares for your skin is super easy to prepare with this simplified recipe.<\/p>\n

Carrot-lavender-rosemary cleansing balm<\/strong><\/p>\n

15 ml melted\u00a0shea butter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

10 ml melted\u00a0cacao butter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

15 ml\u00a0melted\u00a0coconut oil<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

15 ml avocado oil<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

15 ml almond oil<\/a><\/strong> (\u00a0jojoba oil<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a great option as well)<\/p>\n

Essential oils<\/em><\/p>\n

3 drops of\u00a0carrot seed oil<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 drops of\u00a0lavender oli<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

3 drops of\u00a0frankincense oli<\/strong><\/a> (you can replace the frankincense with\u00a0chamomile oil<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

3 drops of\u00a0rosemary oil<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Melt the shea butter, cacao butter and coconut oil in a hot water bath without letting the butters and oil heat over 42 degrees. Easy does it while melting. Combine the butters, oil and cold pressed oils together and mix thoroughly. Lastly add in the essential oils and once again mix well. Pour the mixture in a sanitised 50ml glass jar and tightly close the lid. Let it cool in room temperature. You can store the cleanser in room temperature protected form direct sunlight for up to six months. Be sure to check the best before dates on your oils though.<\/p>\n

To use the cleansing balm massage a small amount on dry skin for a couple of minutes and wipe it off with a warm wet muslin cloth<\/strong>. Rinse the cloth and repeat if necessary. Wash the cloth with soap and water after every use.<\/p>\n

Now it\u00b4s your turn to make a wish: what cult product inspired \u00a0DIY recipes would you like for me to create? Have you had a chance to try out recipes from my book?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
