This moisturizing Body Spray is made with Bee’s Milk, a unique ingredient made from emulsified Beeswax, Sesame Oil, and water. Rose Damascena Hydrosol and delicate Rose Attar give this simple recipe a luxurious twist. Rose Body Milk gives the skin a touch of moisture and delicate Rose aroma, one spritz at a time.
Rose Body Milk
Makes about 2 ounces
Ingredients
1/4 ounce Bee’s Milk
1 ounce Rose Damascena Hydrosol
1/8 ounce Polysorbate 20
1/8 ounce Rose Damascena Attar*
1/2 ounce Distilled Water
7 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract
Directions
In a small measuring cup combine 1/8 Polysorbate 20 and 1/8 ounce Rose Attar. Stir well to make sure they are fully combined. In a larger measuring cup, combine 1/4 ounce Bee’s Milk, 1 ounce Rose Damascena Hydrosol, and 1/2 ounce Distilled Water. Mix well, then transfer the mixture to a 2 oz. Aluminum Bottle. Next, add the Polysorbate and Attar mixture to the bottle, followed by the Grapefruit Seed Extract. Top the Bottle with a Sprayer Cap, screwing it on tightly to secure the contents of the bottle. Shake the bottle well to mix the ingredients.
Usage & Packaging
We suggest using a 2 oz. Aluminium Bottle with a Sprayer to package this recipe. When you order the Bottle, please note that the Sprayer Tube may be too long for the Bottle. Use a pair of scissors to carefully trim the tube to the appropriate size. Rose Body Milk should be sprayed directly on the skin, carefully avoiding contact with clothes or other fabrics, as it could stain them. Try using Rose Body Milk after a shower or bath to quickly moisturize your skin.
*For a more econmonic version of this recipe, try substituing Rose Geranium Essential Oil or Red Rose Fragrance Oil for the Attar.

I was reading about polysorbate 20 and it says its not the most effective emulsifier. What is the best emulsifier to help prevent separation?
Emmy Gabriel says
We chose Polysorbate for this recipe due to its gentle nature, but you may have to shake the mixture before use to ensure that is is properly mixed. In other types of formulas, Emulsifying Wax can be used as a more effective emulsifier. It is generally used in creams and lotions, as the wax contained in it would alter the texture of a body spray.

Hello,
I would like it if you could include a button that would add all of the ingredients for this recipe to the shopping cart… would be much easier than having to do it one by one… Please?
Emmy Gabriel says
Hi Barb. We love your idea for coordinating the blog recipes with From Nature With Loves shopping cart. In fact, weve been working on implementing a very similar feature on the blog. Sometime soon, well be linking each blog recipe to a special shopping list page on From Nature With Love. Youll be able to quickly add as many or as few items from the recipe to your cart in one easy step. This feature is still in the works, and it will be a little while before we have it added to every recipe, but we are looking forward to making shopping for our recipes easier.
