Organic Bitter Orange Powder Solid Mask
This amazing recipe for a solid mask is taken from the book "Cosm?tique solide" by Stellina Huvenne published by La Plage. We've put it back together a bit ;)
Material
- 1 silicone mould (a pastry mould will do)
- 1 stainless steel bowl
- 1 precision scale
- small spoons
- 1 mini whisk
Ingredients
- 45 g organic cocoa butter tablets
- 15 g organic orange powder
- 10 g organic castor oil
- 5 g organic jojoba oil
- 3 g organic rosemary cineole hydrosol
- 25 drops of organic sweet orange essential oil
Preparation
1- Melt the cocoa butter in pellets in a not too hot water bath.
2- Remove from the heat and add to the bowl the vegetable oils previously weighed and the bitter orange powder, mixing well.
3- Then add the hydrosol and essential oil, mixing well.
4- Pour the preparation into your mould and place in the refrigerator for one hour to help the mask set.
5- Leave to dry in a dry, well-ventilated place for at least 48 hours before use.
Use
You can use this treatment in several ways:
- as a balm, by applying it directly to the hair while massaging well
- by cutting small pieces of this care, to melt in a bain-marie then apply to the lengths for 1 to 2 hours, then rinse with your usual shampoo
