MY LITTLE GARDEN IS SMALL COSMETOLOGY RESEARCH CENTRE

I didn't really know such a very little garden has potential for so much. In my past posts I'd been contemplating how to include the beneficial properties of mango leaves in my bathing soap and hair wash. 

I don't know if it is science-based or indigenous knowledge or my 50 year old brain thinking deep. Maybe it's divine revelation. But it just occurred to me that I could infuse those qualities of mango leaves indirectly into my bathing soap and hair wash through the growing Aloe Vera plant(s). 

This entails manuring the Aloe Vera plant constantly with mango leaves. 

I already manure with lemon grass - I can use the fresh lemon grass and mango leaves and/or the remnants left after boiling them for tea. 

While on that it occurred to me I can as well use the peels and other remnants of oranges, also pawpaw leaves and stalks, soya bean chaff etc to manure the Aloe Vera.

The Aloe Vera juice i.e. that inner slimy part is a very vital ingredient I use in compounding my bathing soap and hair wash. 

Rather than go through processing all these other leaves or herbs and fruits to add to cosmetics, it is possible to get at least one of the vital ingredients already used infused with those materials  while it is growing.

When I start growing the other cosmetic  ingredients I use i.e. spices, I can also infuse them with anything I find to have beneficial qualities.  

Which reminds me- this lemon-scented plant  that sprouted on its own in my garden can also become a regular manure for the Aloe Vera so I can tap into the lemon qualities. 

So the Aloe Vera I would be growing going forward would be Super Aloe Vera. By using it in cosmetics, I surely would  not need  to lay foundation on my face or paint it even in my golden years before applying ordinary powder  -  with Natural Cosmetics, you don't need to hide your real face
