This is a bit late to get to make gifts to give out, but it's a perfect gift to give anyone with interests in making your own beauty products!

Majestic Mountain Sage offers ingredients and recipes you'll need to make any skin care item, including lip balms and body butters!  On top of that, they sell kits to make all your favorites!

All the kits include the necessary ingredients, a few fragrances, jars/containers, as well as labels.  It's all super convenient to create batches of body butter or even shampoo in fragrances that YOU like, and guess what?  Since you are making it, you can exclude ingredients that you don't like, including parabens.  If you think, "this sounds like chemistry and I hated high school chemistry", think of it more like cooking made easy.  Melting, mixing, pouring.. it doesn't get easier than that.  Here's an example of their Body Butter Gift Kit:

Body Butter Gift Kit

Our Gift Kit series continues with the Paraben Free Body Butter Base. This kit contains jars instead of bottles because the body butter is so thick and rich! This kit contains: one full gallon Paraben Free Body Butter Base thirty 4 fl oz Low Profile PET Jars thirty Size 70 Straight Side Black Lids an Oval Spoon fragrance of your choice: Polynesian Red, Lilac & Lavender, Pixie Dust or Coconut Lime Verbena. and.... LABELS!

 

Like I said earlier, it's probably a bit late to get this to make Christmas gifts for everyone, but it's definitely great for that aspiring cosmetic chemist in your family!
