Homemade Cosmetics This is a really cool site ! Not only can you make your own cosmetics but you also learn a lot about chemistry and the ingredients used in cosmetics. There are recipes, kits and of course all the raw ingredients and containers to store them in. Just reading the catalog is very informative. I love the idea of knowing how to read labels and understand why the ingredients are needed and how they are used. There are ingredients for making sunscreen ! You can make your own SPF, How cool is that... This would make for a good homeschool project lesson plans. They say you can even sell your products. For me I'd just like to find a makeup that doesn't irritate my eyes. Tuesdi
