Ingredients & Supplies

Safety Information

  • Safety & Dilution: We recommend a small patch test to ensure there is no skin sensitivity.
  • Kid Safety: Safe for kids 10 and over.
  • Shelf Life: This is a one time use blend, but if you are making for later, or there is some leftover, it will keep in the fridge for up to a week. If it gets to dry, feel free to add more peru balsam infused jojoba.

Directions

  1. 1. Blend together pureed pumpkin and vegetable glycerin with a small wire whip or spoon. 
  2. 2. Add dry pumpkin spice such as cinnamon, ginger, and clove to pureed pumpkin.
  3. 3. Measure out white kaolin clay in a small bowl making sure clumps are broken up.
  4. 4. Add clay to the pumpkin blend little by little as the final amount of clay might vary, stirring well after each clay addition.
  5. 5. Finally, and make sure this is added last, add 1 tsp of Peru Balsam Infused Jojoba oil. Add a small drizzle a little at a time blending well. 
  6. 6. If the blend is too thick, add more pureed pumpkin. If the blend is too thin add more kaolin clay. The final product should be a smooth, easy to spread consistency like frosting.
  7. 7. Gently smooth onto clean face, neck, and decollete. Spread remaining over hands. Let sit on skin for approximately 10 -15 minutes or until the skin starts to feel tight. Rinse off with warm water, massaging face and neck as you gently exfoliate. Finish with a warm washcloth and spray with your favorite hydrosol or toner.

Hi, my name is Karen Williams. As a professional aromatherapist, I love to create amazing blends that inspire and promote a healthier lifestyle. I got my start many years ago as a registered nurse working in the hospital system. But along the way I knew something was missing. I wanted to help people more holistically. Then, I discovered essential oils, and my approach to life changed forever. Now, I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve learned about aromatherapy with my friends, family, and the world. Because - life is so much better with health, happiness, and community.
