Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 I would love to share. The base recipe I got from a book a while back and I can not for the life of me remember the author. I will try to look it up again at the library and see if I can get it to you. It is full of natural recipes for skin care/body care products. And of course you can change the recipe to suit your needs or make it your own " trade secret " . The base recipe for making arrowroot gel is 1tsp arrowroot to 4Tbsp water. I use distilled water. Heat gently and stir continuously till thick and clear. Arrowroot gel for hands recipe 30ml hydrosol/distilled water/herbal infusion (your choice) 1/2tsp arrowroot powder 1tsp coconut oil Place the liquid in double boiler jar and stir in arrowroot powder. Add coconut oil and keep on stirring till thick and clear. Put in bottle (may need to let it cool if using PET plastic) and cap. Shake well and shake occasionally as cooling. I changed it a bit when I made it to the following: 3Tbps Rose hydrosol (Butch's of course) 2Tbsp Neroli hydrosol (wish it was Butch's) 1Tbsp vegetable glycerin 1 1/2tsp arrowroot powder 1Tbsp virgin coconut oil I am betting you could sub in any oil of your choice or even omit the oil. I have dry skin so decided to use it on my face, hands & legs and it was wonderful. It could even be a oil free moisturizer for oily skin. Oh the possibilities Have fun!
