Plants are 30 to 150 cm (12 to 59 in) tall with globular flower heads having yellow, orange, or red flowers. Each branch will usually have from one to five flower heads containing 15 to 20 seeds per head. Safflower is native to arid environments having seasonal rain. It grows a deep taproot which enables it to thrive in such environments.	Silybum marianum (milk thistle) is an annual or biannual plant of the Asteraceae family. This fairly typical thistle has red to purple flowers and shiny pale green leaves with white veins. The medicinal parts of the plant are the ripe seeds.

It is in the  black beldi form of a slurry becomes smooth in contact with water.

Once the scrub soap done, you will get rid of dead skin cells and you will find a soft and silky skin.
 

Massage Oil

There are many different types of massage oils available.
 After my study all of them I decide to use two of the best carrier oils:

1. Grapeseed oil makes a great massage oil, it has  a smooth, silky texture without being greasy. It is absorbed fairly well into the skin, but not too quickly. This makes it an ideal choice for an ingredient of massage oil. Grapeseed oil is "long" oil, rich source of omega-6, vitamin E. Helps mature, damaged, tired, stressed skin.
2. Jojoba oil has antibacterial properties and contains long chain wax esters that closely resembles skin sebum. Antioxidant, conditioning, reach in vitamins and minerals. It is very well-absorbed, is  not irritating to skin, is "medium" oil.

 

To choice of Essential Oils depends on the purpose of massage. Would you like to relax and get a portion of energy?

So, these EO will help: Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange.
