Escentia Natural Body Cream Base is an unscented cream base designed as a simple, versatile starting point for DIY
body care. It works as a ready-made cream canvas that you can use as is, or customise with essential oils, carrier
oils, plant infusions, and other compatible actives to create your own body creams and lotions. The formula is made
with natural and naturally derived ingredients that absorb comfortably without a heavy, greasy finish. This base is
recommended for body care rather than delicate facial use unless your customised blend has been carefully patch
tested.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: This is the kind of base that makes DIY body care feel approachable without limiting your
creativity. It is easy to work with, fragrance free, and flexible enough for everything from simple body moisturisers
to more personalised blends tailored to your routine.
