Organic beauty should be thought of as food as well as cosmetic. This is because the skin is the largest organ and you are eating what you are wearing. That being said, it's wise to use only those products that contain 100% organic plant essences that are safe enough to eat and drink.
A good approach to this is to act as if you're going to use a mixture of fruits, herbs, and plant essences to make a delicious salad. Chop up your favorite colorful herbs and fruits, like chamomile, mustard, indigo, avocado, beet, orange, and mix them well to make a colorful delicious hair tint, facial makeup, or skin moisturizer.
You'll also need ingredients like glycerine, soy lecithin, and fruit pectin, jojoba wax or beeswax, coconut oil, hemp seed oil, or olive oil. You'll also need some kind of nut or seed milk to add a thick consistency to the mixture and moisturizer to make the mixture smooth and creamy so it feels soothing and comfortable to the skin and hair.
The idea is to have fun and be childlike when making a colorful herbal living foods beauty mixture. You'll want to experiment at first until you have the measurements accurate and you know what works. That being said, it's wise to use ingredients you feel comfortable eating and drinking or brewing in a tea, so that if you make a mistake and you don't like the result, you can always eat or drink the mixture. Have fun, enjoy, and keep it safe, organic, and edible!
