After-Sun Spray

Makes 4 ounces
This mixture helps soothe and cool skin that has been exposed to the sun.

Ingredients
2.5 ounces boiling water
1.5 ounce aloe vera juice or gel
1 Tbsp dried calendula flowers or plantain leaves
10 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops of helichrysum essential oil
If making for healthy children over 6 years
of age, use only 4 drops of each essential oil.

Instructions
1. Place calendula flowers in a canning jar.
Pour boiling water over the herbs. Cover
and let steep for at least 3 hours. (You could
also prepare this step before bed and strain
out the herbs in the morning.)
2. Once sufficiently infused, strain out calendula
and set infused water aside.
3. Place calendula-infused water and aloe juice
or gel in a glass measuring cup with a spout.
Add essential oils and stir until well combined.
4. Pour into a 4-ounce glass spray bottle.
5. Close bottle with lid and add a label.
6. Keep in the fridge and spray on skin that is
sunburned or windburned. It helps to soothe
irritation from bug bites too.
7. IMPORTANT: Shake before each use to
ensure essential oils are well distributed.
8. Should keep for 1 week.
9. For an extra cooling effect, remove 1
tablespoon of the infused water and replace
it with witchhazel.

NOTE: T he EO's used in this recipe are safe for topical use, especially at such a low
dilution rate. If you are concerned, use a solubilizer like Solubol. It won’t be
drying to the skin and takes care of the dispersing for you.
Summer Lotion Bars

Lotions bars a great moisturizing option for dry skin. They are simple to make
an are a great portable solution for summer months.
If you’ve never used a lotion bar before, it is basically solid lotion. It is applied
by rubbing the bar back and forth onto the skin. The warmth of the skin
causes the bar to melt slightly, leaving a nice coating on the skin.
This lotion bar recipe includes skin-soothing herbs and flowers to make it
extra nourishing.
Although lotion bars are generally very quick to make, infusing the butter and
oil with herbs adds some extra time. So you will need to plan ahead.

Ingredients
½ cup (2oz/56g) beeswax pastilles
½ cup (2.4oz/68g) cocoa or kokum butter
½ cup (3oz/85g) coconut oil
1 Tbsp. (.5oz/14g) avocado oil
2 Tbsp (.07oz/2g) dried calendula flowers
2 Tbsp (.14oz/4g) dried rose petals
2 Tbsp (.16oz/4.5g) dried lavender buds
20-30 drops skin-safe essential oils (such as lavender, mandarin,
frankincense), optional
Other herbs that would work in this lotion bar include dandelion flowers,
plantain, sunflower petals, and chamomile.

You will also need:

Heatproof bowl or glass loaf pan
Double boiler
Cheesecloth or coffee filter
Fine mesh sieve
Silicone Molds
Summer Lotion Bars

Method
1. Place calendula, roses, and lavender, cocoa (or kokum) butter, and
coconut oil in the top of a double boiler. Warm over medium heat until oil
and butter have melted. Reduce heat to low and keep warm for 1-2 hours
(4-8 if you have the time).
2. You must stay close by as this infuses in case all the water in the bottom
of the double-boiler evaporates. Add more water as needed. If you’d rather
not stay close by, use the over method:
3. Place herbs, coconut oil, and cocoa/kokum butter in a glass loaf pan.
Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Once it gets to temperature, turn the oven
off. Leave herbs and oil/butter mixture in the warm oven for 3-4 hours.
If cocoa butter hardens before you are able to strain the herbs, simply
rewarm until melted, then strain as directed below.
4. Once cool enough to handle, strain out the herbs through a fine mesh
sieve lined with cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much oil as possible.
Discard the herbs.
5. Pour oil into the top of a double boiler. Add beeswax.
6. Warm over medium heat until beeswax is completely melted. Allow
to cool briefly and add essential oils if using
7. Pour into molds.
8. Leave to cool and harden. This can take an hour or more, depending on
the temperature of your home. To speed up the hardening process, place
into the freezer. This cuts the time down to about 30 minutes.
Tip: If using silicone molds, place on a cookie sheet before adding the
melted oils. This will make the mold easier to transport if you plan
to put it in the freezer.
Bug Bite Salve

This soothing salve helps ease the sting and itch of bug bites and promotes
healing. The rockstar ingredient in this salve is plantain. Plantain is often
disdained as a weed, but is truly the perfect match for stings, bites, rashes,
and all manner of skin irritations.

Ingredients
½ cup (4oz/120ml) avocado oil (olive or sunflower oil work well too)
2-3 Tbsp (.35oz/10g) beeswax (see notes)
2 Tbsp (.25oz/7g) dried plantain leaves
1 Tbsp (.08oz/2.25g) dried lavender buds
1 Tbsp (.037oz/1g) dried calendula flowers or chickweed

Optional additions:
If you would like to further boost this bug bite relief salve, add 3 drops
Tea tree essential oil
3 drops lavender essential oil
3 drops Helichrysum essential

Note:​If you want to add this salve to

a small tins or a large glass jar,
use 1 Tbsp of beeswax for a soft
salve-like consistency. If you
prefer to pour this into lip balm
tubes, you will need 2 Tbsp of
beeswax to ensure the mixture
is firm enough.

If making in lip balm tubes, this

will make 10 or so (depending
on their size). If you don’t need
that many, only make half the
recipe.
Bug Bite Salve

Instructions
1. Before beginning, you will need to infuse the oil with herbs. If you are
planning ahead, infuse via the cold-infusion method.
2. To infuse via the cold-infusion method place herbs and oil in a jar and
close with lid. Gently shake the jar to ensure the herbs and oil and well
combined. Let sit in a cool, dark place for at least 4 weeks.
3. If you need the salve in a hurry, use the hot infusion method.
4. To infuse the herbs via the hot infusion method, place herbs and oil
in a heatproof jar and set in a pot filled with an inch or two of water.
5. Warm over low heat for two hours (4-8 if you have the time) . You will
need to do this when you can be close by in case the water in the pot
evaporates.
6. Once infused sufficiently, set jar aside in a safe place to cool.
7. Strain out the herbs.
8. Place infused oil and beeswax in the top of a double boiler or makeshift
double boiler, warm over low-medium heat until beeswax melts.
9. Remove from heat and let cool briefly. Add essential oils if using.
Stir to combine.
10. Pour into lip balm tubes
Cucumber Cooling Mist

Makes 4 ounces
This cucumber mist combines refreshing hydrosols with the naturally cooling
properties of witchhazel. The result is a refreshing mist that’s perfect for face
and body.
Witch hazel also provides anti-inflammatory benefits which could be soothing
to irritated skin.

Ingredients
3 Tbsp (1.5oz/45ml) cucumber hydrosol
2 Tbsp (1oz/30ml) witch hazel
2 Tbsp (1oz/30ml) peppermint hydrosol or spearmint hydrosol
1 Tbsp aloe vera gel

Instructions
1. Mix all ingredients in a glass measuring
cup with a spout and stir until well-
combined.
2. Pour into a 4-ounce glass spray bottle
and close tightly with lid. Don’t forget to
add a label.
3. Keep in the fridge to provide even more
cooling benefits (a cold spritz of this mist
is perfect on a hot summer day).
4. Note: Witch hazel can be drying for
some. If you find this too drying, replace
the witch hazel with distilled water, aloe
juice, or hydrosol.
5. If stored in a cool/dark place, this mist
should keep for 2-4 weeks. I recommend
storing in the fridge for optimal
freshness.
Fresh Berry Facial Mask

Makes 1 treatment
(may be enough for two people, depending on how many layers you apply)
Use the bounty of summer berries to create a fun, antioxidant-rich facial mask
that’s good enough to eat.
This mask should be made on an as-needed basis as the fresh ingredients
will spoil if made too far in advance.
The antioxidants present in blueberries and raspberries may help fight free
radical damage and give skin a natural glow. While yogurt and honey also
help soften and brighten skin.

Ingredients
1 Tbsp. blueberries (approx. 3 large
blueberries or 6 small)
3 raspberries
1 Tbsp. full-fat plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. Kaolin clay
Optional additions
(choose one of the following):
1 teaspoon finely ground flower powder,
such as chamomile, rose, or lavender
1 teaspoon finely ground oatmeal for
additional soothing benefits
½ tsp. finely ground dried sage for acne-prone skin

Instructions
1. Mash berries in a mortar and pestle or in a bowl with the back of a fork. Add
honey and yogurt and stir to combine.
2. Lastly, add kaolin clay and stir until well blended.
3. Apply mask to clean skin with finger or with a clean paint brush. Let dry
briefly and add another layer, if desired.
4. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, Wash off with warm water and a washcloth.

Notes: Put hair up and out of the way.

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (as the berries may stain).
Depending on the temperature of your environment, the mask could drip.
So, don’t sit on a white couch!
Info on Phototoxic Essential Oils
(very important for summer):

A number of essential oils contain furanocoumarin which reacts to UV light.

This can cause skin inflammation which could be quite severe.

Phototoxic essential oils include:

Angelica Root
Bergamot
Bitter Orange
Cumin
Fig Leaf
Grapefruit
Lemon (cold pressed)
Lemon verbena
Lime (cold pressed)
Mandarin Leaf
Rue

Citrus essential oils have a reputation for being phototoxic, but not all citrus
essential oils are. And sometimes it depends on how they are produced.
For example, cold-pressed lemon essential oils is considered phototoxic, but
steam-distilled lemon is considered to have low risk. The same goes for lime.
Mandarin Leaf is considered phototoxic, but cold-pressed mandarin is not.
