NOURISH AND NURTURE The Healthy, Natural Skincare Guide
Equipment Needed Methods
Most of the equipment needed can already be found in your kitchen, or can be picked up easily. A closer look and further explanation of the methods used in the recipes in this ebook.
DOUBLE BOILER-
2 This is the most commonly and effective way to melt your waxes, butters and solid oils. To
melt using the double boiler method, you will need a pyrex or heatproof bowl and a
1 saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water (about 3/4 full) the bowl needs to sit nicely on the
3 saucepan, so that it is not touching the water (so be sure to use a saucepan that is the right
size). Put saucepan onto hotplate and boil water with bowl on top and your ingredients in the
bowl. Leave boiling until melted, and keep an eye on it for drying out or boiling over.
6 4 O T H E R W A Y S T O M E L T-
5 If you are in a hurry, it is possible to melt most ingredients in the microwave. Although I
believe they may lose some of there nutrients in the process, so only use if you really need to.
This can be handy for quickly melting coconut oil.
9 Another way to melt coconut oil (as it has a low melt point) is to put the container with your
8 7 coconut oil into a bowl of boiling water (from the kettle) and the hot water will melt it. You
12 can also melt it fondue style in a bowl over a candle.
10 IMMERSION BLENDER-
11 The easiest way to blend, for creating whipped butters and emulsified creams is with an
immersion blender. If you wish to use another blender, that is fine, this is just the easiest way.
It is easy to clean up and cheap to buy.
13
GRINDING-
14 To make oat flour or to crush nuts into a fine powder for scrubs and bath soaks, a cheap
coffee grinder, is a great way to quickly grind small quantities.
15
S T R A I N W I T H M U S L I N C L OT H -
When infusing oils with herbs, to stain them use a piece of muslin cloth hanging over a bowl
and slowly pour oil over it, so the herbs are caught in the cloth and the oils drain into the
bowl. Then pick up the edges of the cloth and ring out the last of the oils by hand. You can
