We're offering you something NEVER seen on our blog: our favorite secret recipes.
“Huh? Secret recipes? Hidden where?”
If you're involved in the wonderful world of homemade cosmetics, you've probably noticed how versatile recipes can be. So versatile that sometimes their primary use can be repurposed for something completely different. Yes, yes! We're not saying it's a good idea to frost your cake with our whipped shea butter, but still!
The idea is a bit like the famous secret menus of certain fast-food chains, except instead of getting a large fry with extra Big Mac sauce, you can make an exfoliant from a bath milk recipe. Pretty cool, right? Much more our style, hahaha!
So here's what we've listed for you: how to use our recipes differently to get the most out of them.
Go go, gadget serum!
A multi-purpose serum
We love oil, you know! And our raspberry serum is good for so much more than just taking care of your face!
We love it as a massage oil, a hair oil, and also for cleansing or removing makeup from the face! It's really something. Go go, gadget serum!
Really awesome cuticles
A lip balm… for your cuticles!
You read that right.
We suggest trying the lip balm from our blog or our book on your cuticles. Seriously, it works really well!
Goodbye, smelly feet!
A deodorant… for your feet!
Do you have a baking soda-based deodorant and want to get the most out of it? Or did you realize that baking soda is too irritating for your armpits, and since then, it's been sitting at the bottom of your cabinet?
We have the solution for you: simply put a small amount of deodorant under your feet before putting on your socks. Goodbye, smelly feet! IT WORKS MIRACLES. Seriously. Try it, it's no joke. It's one of our favorite secret recipes.
Self-care to the power of 1000
A bath milk… as an exfoliant base!
Our nourishing bath milk can easily be transformed into a fantastic body exfoliant. How? Add oil to create a paste, and exfoliate! Easy as pie.
You can take just a small part of our bath milk to make the exfoliating treatment, and keep the rest to put in the bath: off you go for a nice spa-worthy self-care session. Ahhhh! Pretty cool secret recipe, right?

One product to replace THEM ALL
A dish soap cake for a spic ‘n span home
Ahhh, dish soap cake. This miracle product. What can't it do? That's the question. We especially love it for cleaning the ceramic cooktop, and for cleaning the bathroom, like shower doors, the sink, and the bathtub. It's MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC. After that, we wonder why we still have 4-5-6 different cleaning products, when dish soap cake can practically do EVERYTHING.
The little rebel
The super balm… on tattoos!
The second name of our super balm is multi-purpose. It does EVERYTHING. It's really an essential to always have on hand. We also really love it as a balm for tattoos! We prefer an essential oil-free version for this kind of use, and obviously, we suggest you follow the recommendations of the person who does your tattoo. We can also use it on irritated skin, sunburns, or even as a lip balm.
Secret recipes, you want some, here they are!
