DIY - I make my own cosmetics


Je me lance dans la fabrication de cosmétiques maison

In a few years, the "Do It Yourself", in French the "do it yourself" has gained ground in homes. If this trend started with decoration and creative hobbies, it quickly spread to the field of beauty. There are now many blogs and specialized sites offering hundreds of DIY cosmetic recipes. But why make them yourself when many cosmetic brands offer very effective, laboratory-tested complete ranges at affordable prices? Simply because making your own cosmetics offers total freedom and independence in the composition of your product. You can perfectly control the origin of each raw material, customize your product down to the drop and according to your wishes, reduce packaging by aiming for zero waste with recyclable glass containers and save on the cost of your finished product. Everything is possible. Deodorant, day cream, styling wax, shower gel, after-sun milk are yours !


My own cosmetics, yes. But not anyhow !

Si la démarche de fabriquer ses propres produits de beauté semble alléchante, quelques précautions sont toutefois à prendre pour préserver votre santé et celle de ceux qui utiliseront vos produits. Ne vous lancez pas tête baissée dans la première recette récupérée sur internet.

If the process of making your own beauty products seems attractive, some precautions should however be taken to preserve your health and that of those who will use your products. Do not go headlong into the first recipe found on the internet.

1 - The first of the rules is hygiene. The work plan must be well disinfected, sterilized. Hands should be washed thoroughly. Strict rules are imposed on manufacturers in terms of hygiene to market their products. If you have nothing to fear about a possible official inspection in your home, still impose these common sense rules on yourself to avoid any microbial contamination. So disinfect all your utensils with 70% unmodified alcohol. Utensils that you will have patiently recovered beforehand (old pots and tubes) and silicone molds that you will have bought in a specialized store.

2 - Secondo, before committing to making your own cosmetics, make sure you have no dermatological allergies or intolerances to certain raw materials, essential oils or spices. For this reason, you must do tests directly on your skin (a small drop of EO in the bend of the elbow and wait 24 hours to confirm that there is no allergy).

3 - The third rule: You will use natural products that do not contain a whole bunch of chemical preservatives (or endocrine disruptors). However, and in order to properly preserve yours, you will need to add a few drops of natural preservative to the product during its manufacture (Benzyl alcohol, dehydroacetic acid, wheat germ oil, etc.). Keep them cool, away from air, light and heat.

4 - Fourth rule: respect the dosages! Putting double the amount indicated in your homemade cosmetics will not make your care more effective! Essential oils, for example, are powerful active substances. It is therefore essential to respect the dosages indicated in the beauty treatment recipes. You have a margin of 1 to 2 drops, no more! You should know that they are not recommended for pregnant women (the first 3 months) and for children under 3 years old (with some exceptions). It is also important not to apply them to the mucous membranes or around the eyes. 

List of materials needed

To get started in the manufacture of your cosmetics, a minimum of material is necessary. Pyrex bowl, mini whisk, spatula, measuring spoon, transfer pipette, mini funnel, small saucepans for making. Bottles or containers, preferably in glass, for packaging your finished products. No need to turn your kitchen into a little chemist's workshop either.

 

The book of essential natural hygiene & beauty recipes

You have taken the plunge, determined to develop your own daily cosmetics. This book of 36 Anaé recipes will help you in this process. For several years, the Anaé brand has been developing an ecological range of simple, natural, long-lasting and economical products in the field of hygiene and cosmetics. It is therefore quite naturally and to extend this approach that the idea of this recipe book was born. All the recipes in this notebook have been tested and approved. Their requirement was to design a recipe book that was simple to prepare and made up of a minimum of ingredients to be accessible to as many people as possible and not to clutter up the bathroom! Most of the recipes described below in this file are taken from it.
