Body Oil Making Workbook for Beginners: Make Your Own Moisturizing Body Oil | Digital PDF

Learn to make body oil and understand what each ingredient brings to your blend.

Make Your Own Moisturizing Body Oil is a beginner-friendly digital workbook from Island Goddess Body Essentials. Clear ingredient explanations, exact weights and numbered methods help you plan, make and document your own body oil practice batches.

Start with a two-ingredient Foundation blend of high-oleic sunflower oil and golden jojoba oil. Then explore a Refined version that replaces part of the sunflower oil with caprylic/capric triglyceride to investigate changes in spread and after-feel. Both formulas make fragrance-free liquid body oils using a room-temperature process.
