How to Make Lotions From Tea and Herbs

RSS

I have one lovely customer recently telling me about how she has been making lotions and a few topical tonics from our teas, so I thought I'd put together a list of both her recipes and a few others too. Images have also been provided by our customer too, so they may look a little different to our usual style.

We will most likely be adding recipes here over time so be sure to check back once in awhile or even better - contact us to add your own!

Stinging Nettle - Robyn.M

stinging nettle lotion in bottleIced Tea
"Two heaped tablespoons worth placed within a pot of boiling water. Steep this for several hours and then refrigerate. Drink 3-4 cups daily.
This is also excellent when used topically with cotton balls or makeup remover cloths. They will take the sting out of dry itchy rashes."

Lotion
"Place a couple of tablespoons of dried nettle in a glass screw top jar and fill with a cup of olive oil. Leave in a sunny spot for a week, shaking the jar daily. Strain into a clean jar and label.  Good for lotions and salves using any dried herb." (This lotion would be a great natural solution for itchy skin and rashes as mentioned above too - Toby)

Chickweed Salve

2 tbsp (30 g) shea butter
2 tbsp (30 g) coconut oil
2 tbsp (30 g) chickweed infused oil
1 tsp (5 g) neem oil
1 tbsp (15 g) beeswax  (grated)
10-15 drops of essential oils: lavender, menthol or peppermint

 

Chaparral and Cleavers Salve

2 ounces beeswax
1 ounce jojoba oil
7 ounces infused olive oil (half and half Chaparral /Cleavers)
1 ounce coconut oil

Optional...1 teaspoon of lavender essential oil and 1 teaspoon of peppermint essential oil.

"Melt wax and oils, take off stove, cool slightly then add essential oils. Pour into jars.  I also poured some into a silicon mini cupcake mold. Easy to pop out when cold and store in the fridge and use cold." - Robyn.M

Chrysanthemum Lychee Blooming Flower Tea

Another lovely mellow tea bloom

The yellow chrysanthemum bloom is very beautiful sitting on it's bed of green as this bloom opens into a slightly aniseed smelling tea at first, but when fully brewed tastes like a mellow silver needle tea that has a very subtle, fruity, sweet overtone. It's not overpowering or dominating in anyway and is very refreshing.

Hi Casey, thank you for your review! I really hope those samples have arrived....

Decaf Ceylon Black Tea

Happy with my tea

Unable to purchase Decaf leaf tea from the supermarket It was refreshing to find that i could purchase this seemingly elusive product online at "Tea Life".
The service was excellent and the tea arrived promptly. I'm very happy with my tea purchase and would recommend this company. Many thanks Tea Life.

Hi Liz, thank you. We'd love to expand our decaf range actually but it's difficult to get a hold of. Hopefully this year will bring some new decaf teas!
