Recipe: Mineral Clay Mask
4 ounces Rose Petals (used to make rosewater)
1 teaspoon French Rose Clay
1 tea spoon French Green Sea Clay
1 tea spoon Rhassoul Clay
Remember when a face mask was a beauty treatment?
Place rose petals in a bowl, fill with water, and cover. I usually put a plate or saucer inside the bowl. Heat in microwave on a low power setting for 90 minutes.
I usually start mine right before I go to bed, when no one needs the microwave. My mine goes from a power setting of zero to 10 and I use a 2. A double boiler on the stove top is best practice, but requires more attention.
The rosewater has a wonderful floral smell. I spray it on linens, my clothes, and even my hair.
Mix rosewater with the French Rose and Green Sea Clays. Stir to get an even blend. Add the Rhassoul Clay last. Store in the refrigerator for maximum shelf-life. Now you have a mineral clay mask, just like at the spa
1 tbl spoon illipe butter
1 tbl spoon pomegranate oil
1 tbl spoon passion fruit oil
1/2 tea spoon raw yellow beeswax
Melt beeswax (30-60 seconds in the microwave).
Add illipe butter and reheat until the mixture melts (another 0-30 seconds).
Stir in pomegranate oil and passion fruit oil. Shake. Store upside down.
At room temperature, the creation takes about a day to cool and sets. In the meantime, you can use it as a liquid or put it in the refrigerator or freezer for faster setting.
1 tbl. of kokum butter
1 tbl. of cocoa butter
1 tbl. of ivory shea butter
1 tbl. of tamanu oil
Heat kokum butter until it melts, about two minutes in the microwave for big clump and about 1 minute for small pieces.
Stir in cocoa and ivory shea butter. Depending on how hot the kokum butter is, the shea and cocoa may melt on their own, but the mixture might need up to 30 seconds in the microwave.
Stir in the tamanu oil and shake.
You can experiment with texture by varying the amount of kokum butter (more kokum means a more solid product).
Reheat for 1-3 minutes if the ingredients begin to separate. Store upside down.

1/4 cup sugar
1 tea spoon of ground vanilla, mint, or lemon balm
1/4 oz aloe vera oil
Mix the sugar into the honey and stir. Work in batches if the honey is thick. Stir in aloe vera oil and vanilla, mint, or lemon balm. Store upside down in leak-proof container.
I prefer aloe vera oil to the gel because I find it mixes into honey more easily.
Which sugar is right for you? Demerara? Sucanat? Light Muscovado? Dark Muscovado? Date? Coconut? Personalize your Prismatic kits to see.
Did you know that the ancient Mayans used cocoa beans as money? Well, they had a good reason for doing so.
Many of our kits include this luxurious cousin to chocolate in its pure, raw form. Cocoa butter is filled with vitamin K, Vitamin E, oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, Cocoa butter's structure makes it uniquely able to help seal moisture into the skin, and help collagen production. Cocoa butter is believed to be an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. It may even help boost the immune system. Shouldn't we give nature's gift to us a try?
