So with the recent thread about frizzy hair, and DeeAnna's recipe for conditioner, I ended up visiting Lotioncrafter to get my ingredients. While there, I checked out the formulary section and was happy to find something that sparked my interest...olive cleansing oil. Years ago, I started getting catalogs from DHC, a Japanese skin care site. They always include samples with their catalog, and one of these was their Deep Cleansing Oil. http://www.dhccare.com/deep-cleansing-oil This stuff is really nice, but you can see how expensive it is, so I enjoyed the samples but never bought any. When I saw the recipe for olive cleansing oil, it sounded so much like it that I thought I'd try to made some, since I was putting in an order for the hair conditioner ingredients anyway. You know how that goes!
So I just made some, and I LOVE it! I changed it around a bit. Since I love avocado oil for my skin, I used that instead of olive. I already use olive squalane as a moisturizer, and I love that, but didn't want to use squalane in a wash off product, so I followed the suggestion in the formulary, and used FCO instead. This is really nice stuff. I think next time, I may try the suggestion to use less Cromollient SCE, to end up with a little more oil left on my skin.
I love my soap for washing my face at night, to take off my makeup, but I wash my face again in the morning (habit, I know it's not dirty) and for the morning wash, I think this cleansing oil will be nice. In case you'd like to take a look, here is the recipe from Lotioncrafter's formulary.
