Carrot Karma
I was sooooo looking forward to getting Brambleberry’s Karma type essential oil blend (based on the Lush perfume). I even devised a special recipe. But when it came in the mail — and I had stupidly thrown caution to the wind, buying the 4 oz size — it didn’t do a thing for me. It didn’t smell like my perfume bottle at all. It wasn’t a sprightly. But I was committed; the oils were all measured and just needed to be warmed up. So I forged ahead:
6 oz coil
4 oz oo
4 oz sunflower
6 oz palm oil
8 oz crisco
4 oz cocoa butter
123 g lye
8 oz fresh carrot juice (instead of water; adds a lovely orange color)
3 TB Karma type EO blend
2 TB grapefruit FO (trying to recapture some zing)
I made it yesterday morning and cut it in the evening. I think I hate it–but of course, there’s no telling until it’s actually used.
