1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. macadamia nut oil
1 Tbsp. walnut oil
1/4 cup Dynamic Health Mango Purée
Juice of one lemon
2 tsp. lemon zest (grate the outside of a lemon rind)
2-1/2 cups coconut sugar
1/2 cup sea salt
3 drops grapefruit essential oil
3 drops rose essential oil
3 rose petals, chopped into tiny pieces

Liana’s note: Instead of mango puree, try using canned organic pineapple chunks. Or opt for fresh pineapple, mango or papaya – but blend up fruit before mixing so it’s smooth.
