Tein tuplasatsin ruususalvaa, johon laitoin maseroimaani öljyä, mehiläisvahaa, ruusunmarjaöljyä, muutaman tipan E-vitamiinia ja ruusun eö. Olin ajatellut laittaa salvan tämmöiseen ruusuiseen purkkiin, mutta salva mokoma tulikin purkin pohjasta läpi, joten tuli vähän kiire etsiä korvaavia purkkeja. Loppujen lopuksi salvaa tuli yksi kasvovoidepurkillinen ja kolme pikkuista matkapurkillista. Hukkaan ei onneksi mennyt kalliita aineksia kuin ihan vähän, ja siitäkin ison osan onnistuin kaapimaan iholleni. Ruusun tuoksu tuntuu minusta tässä yllättävän heikkona, vaikka pullossa se vaikutti voimakkaalta.

Kahden käyttökerran jälkeen voide tuntuu hyvältä ja on oikein erinomainen meikinalusvoide myös.
Ruususaippua odottaa vielä vuoroaan, se vaatii vähän enemmän aikaa ja keskittymistä. Pyykkisaippuaepisodien jälkeen olen aika varovainen, taas hetken aikaa...

Yesterday I made those rose products I had planned. First I shifted rose oil which had post-matured five days after three hours pre-simmering. I was little disappointed because the oil didn't get any rosy colour from petals. I don't know if it was different result with fresh flowers.Oily, dried petals looked just like beacon chips! :D I had made ( and put to freezer ) rose tea earlier, now I could use that too.
I made double portion of rose salve, with maserated oil, beesvax, rose hips oil, few drops of E-vitamin oil and rose eo. I had planned to put salve to this rosy tin, but salve got through the bottom, so I was in hurry to get some other jars. At the end I got one face cream jar and three little travelling jars full of rose salve. Fortunately I could save most of those expensive ingredients to my skin and only littel bit got wasted. Smell of roses is not so strong than I thought it would be, in the bottle it was much stronger.
Then I tuned my own version of TheNerdyWife's rose cream recipe with those ingredients I had. I put this same stuff than to rose salve and shea butter, BTMS, emulsifying flakes, Optiphen-preservative and just a hint of pink argiletz-clay to get some rosy colour. I wasn't sure can I put clay to the cream but then after Google-searching I found out that many lotions include some kind of clayt - so I took the risk and tried. That small amount of clay didn't bring any rosy colour I hoped, only hint of peach. Once again I got too less jars so I put rest of the cream to same bottle with my lavender face cream left overs. Now I have very flowerly cream the rest of the summer! :D
I have used that cream twice and it feels very good. It is also good as make up base.
Rose soap is still waiting it's turn, that needs more time and concentration. After those laundry soap-episodes I am very carefull, at least for some time...
