As a part of The New Museum’s May 7 Street Fair “Festival Of Ideas” The MoS Collective’s, Liz Nevis of Raganella.com is teaching people how to make natural beauty and home cleaning products. She has great recipes!

TODAY: I am making face lotion from my existing at home ingredients. Recipe I googled below as inspiration. I have an avocado, vit. e could work with the face lotion. So many options here. If I were making this for other people I would go “by the book”. For today, I’m mixing shea, cocoa butter, skin herbs, vit e, olive oil, aloe and… essential oil (not the orange in the photo). Just winging it. For me It’s more fun to add everything in the house and stand back while the mass fizzles and glows. (just kidding- no fizzling).  It get’s tested on my skin as I make it.
