Oily and combination skins typically over-produce a thick and sticky sebum that blocks follicles and contributes to produce micro-comedones, skin congestions and even inflammations. On the scalp, thick sebum can weigh down hair roots, trap dirt, and contribute to limp, oily-feeling hair.

AS A BASE FOR AROMATHERAPY APPLICATIONS

Custom Blending: 

• Use as neutral base for essential oil blends. For adults, add up to 2% essential oils (20 drops per 100g) when creating personalized massage butters or therapeutic balms.
• Create solid lotion, massage and serum bars
• Create solid perfume with Absolutes and Essential oils
• Create Beard and moustache balms
• Use to make whipped butter

TIP: 

ABOUT ARROWROOT POWDER: To make your butter feel less oily and improve its texture or spreadability, you can add a bit of Arrowroot powder. Arrowroot is gluten-free, derived from the Maranta arundinacea plant root, and is a popular addition to body butter recipes—especially in natural and vegan skincare—because it helps reduce greasiness and improves the overall experience, without interfering with the benefits of plant butters and oils. 

Arrowroot absorbs quickly and can make even the richest blends feel lighter and more comfortable (might be important for people with oily skin or those living in warmer climates). Unlike clays (which may sometimes leave small particles), arrowroot powder dissolves seamlessly into melted oils and butters, leaving no visible residue on the skin. Furthermore, arrowroot can impart a gentle mattifying and skin-perfecting effect (helpful for people with high shine or combination skins)

Typical Ratio: between 2–5%. 4% is common for homemade butters, that is 4g of Arrowroot per 100gr butter/oil); some go up to 10% for very matte finishes (too much can make the product feel dry or “floury”.

How to Use: Add to the melted (but not hot) oil and butter stage, whisk well to fully incorporate, then cool and whip as usual.

WHIPPED BODY SOUFFLÉ (100ML): Soften 85g shredded butter (do not fully melt), whip with hand mixer 3-5 minutes, add 15g light carrier oil (grapeseed) or aloe vera gel while whipping. Optional: 15-20 drops essential oil (adults only).

SOLID MASSAGE BARS: Melt 75g butter blend with 25g beeswax in bain-marie, pour into silicone moulds, cool completely. Creates firm bars that melt on contact. 

ADDING ESSENTIAL OILS: Keep total essential oil concentration ≤2% and omit for young children or sensitive skin.

• Oily scalp clarifying: Tea tree, Rosemary (0.5%)
• Relaxing massage: Lavender (1%)
• Energizing body butter: Citrus blend (1.5%)
