Commercial body creams 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 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” body cream 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 bio accumulation 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 blood stream. Plus, it is cost efficient and quite fun!

I hope you will enjoy these fun and easy DIY body care recipes you can do right in your kitchen!

    Hello! I love your blog, I will read often 🙂 I just had a quick question… I’m obsessed with Verbena and I would like to make a homemade body lotion infused with Verbena (using your recipe), where can I find this essential oil?

      HI! oh I am totally in love with verbana as well, Lemongrass is very similar so you can look for lemongrass essential oil instead. I buy mine at Mountain rose herbs, Organic please 🙂
      I think verbana is really hard to find and VERY expensive. If you find some do let me know!
