WORKING RECORDS
An early notebook.
Read with context.
Selected evidence of the project’s planning: draft documents, source excerpts and questions identified during review.
RECORD 01 · BOTANICAL COLOUR
Botanical cream-blush worksheet
The source lists shea butter, jojoba oil, beeswax, arrowroot and kaolin, with beetroot, hibiscus and annatto colour powders. Optional cacao and vitamin E are also noted. Its three shade directions are Soft Rose, Coral Warm and Deep Berry.
The sheet is labelled a 25 g formula, but the listed weighed ingredients total 15.8 g before optional cacao and vitamin E. The batch basis needs reconciling before the formula could be reproduced consistently.
This illustrates a practical next step: standardising a complete formula by weight, rather than treating an early worksheet as finished.
Read the original draft PDFUnvalidated planning material. Not a public preparation guide.
RECORD 02 · BODY CARE
Earlier body-balm development brief
The project’s master background document, compiled 27 August 2026, records a simple anhydrous direction using tallow, jojoba and beeswax, with an unfinished portion left open for refinement. It also records a decision to simplify earlier infusion ideas.
Later discussion introduced an interest in cacao butter. The Mummy Balm entry therefore describes an evolving formulation direction, not a single final formula.
Selected context from Naturalise Health Project Master Background & Product Development Brief. Its compilation date is not presented as the date a physical batch was made.
RECORD 03 · BOTANICAL FRAGRANCE
Five draft perfume directions
The perfume document sets out five oil-perfume ideas using jojoba as a carrier. The material is an early planning record; its title includes compliance notes, but it explicitly does not certify finished-product compliance.
| Working name | Aromatic direction in the draft |
|---|---|
| Forest Temple | Frankincense, cedarwood, orange, patchouli |
| Wildflower | Lavender, geranium, orange |
| Sacred Woods | Sandalwood, frankincense, bergamot, cedarwood |
| Golden Resin | Benzoin, frankincense, cedarwood, orange |
| Herbal Garden | Lavender, rosemary, orange |
Supplier composition, suitable use levels and the full finished formula still need appropriate assessment. These directions should not be read as five finished or approved products.
Read the original draft PDFContains earlier regulatory planning notes. Not current legal advice, a safety certification or a guide for public use.
Personal accounts still being documented
The shampoo-alternative, chaya and cacao entries currently record Maria’s own descriptions. They do not yet include published weighed formulas, dated photographs, batch logs or validated preparation methods.
Future records can make the process more useful: the actual date, material identity, weighed quantities, preparation conditions, observations and the next question to investigate.
