What a great list! So many to try! Thanks for including my Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub! Have a wonderful week!

Hello, Thank you for sharing these recipes. Could you advise how long they can stay fresh for or how long they will last in the fridge etc please?

Reply

I would use most of them within 2 weeks.

Reply

Is there any way to make them last longer

Reply

Sorry. Handmade beauty products are all natural with no preservatives. You can make them last a little longer by storing in the refrigerator.
