A Peppery Delight for Men... or Daring Women!

I hate the commercial perfumes of today. They reek to the high heavens of choking chemical.  Also, I do not believe that they possess a note or even a hint of the natural flora that one can smell in... O' let us say, a garden!

This is why, dear Zingertalers, I must speak plainly and admit to you that I can not imagine a more deadlier fate then to be entrapped in a small elevator accompanied by a freshly powdered and perfumed individual on a musty day! Haunted daily by this aromatic daymare is the very reason why I am so excited to share this little gem of a recipe for Sandlewood Black Pepper Skin Delight ~ from Dina Falconi exotic book, Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair that I was able to uncover and discover.  One can use this peppery moisturizing formula on their body or face.  Its spicy fragrance is mostly sported by men but very often, also, enjoyed by women.

Ingredients are as follows ~

3oz. coconut oil
3oz. almond oil
3oz. canola
1oz. beeswax
9oz. distilled water
1 1/2 teaspoons sandalwood essential oil
15 drops black pepper essential oil
10 drops tangerine essential oil
15 drops rosemary essential oil

 Now you must mix all the oils firstly, and then add the water in a pot over a low flame. This recipe yields 19oz.
