How do I use babycakes?
1. For ethnic hair care and styles:
- Wherever possible I purchase 100% certified organic ingredients.
- Since babycakes is made in my home and not in a facility, it will not be listed as 100% certifed organic.
- babycakes is made with all natural products. No animal testing, no animals in the jar...
- babycakes contains NO water, or other filler products. You are paying for pure oils and butters blended into heavenly goodness.
- babycakes contains no gluten/wheat protein or wheat oils.
- whenever possible, I purchase fair trade ingredients.
Have you ever wondered why medicines are available in patches and creams? Its because whatever you put on your skin WILL be absorbed into your body and blood stream! This should frighten you into reading the ingredients on the stuff in your shower and under the sink! If you have allergies, you should be especially concerned about what is in the products you are using!

How do I use babycakes?1. For ethnic hair care and styles:
- Put a small amount in the palm of your hand.
- Rub hands together.
- The warmth of your body will melt the oils into a liquid.
- Apply to dry or damp hair.
- I rub a little babycakes down the length of the hair when I am doing twists or braids to help hold the fly aways and also to protect from damage, drying out, or breakage while the hair is in a style.
- After shampooing, I use babycakes to add oils back to the hair.
- babycakes makes a GREAT after-shower moisturizer.
- babycakes is perfect for putting on super-dry skin like hands and feet before bed. Wear cotton gloves for added healing. (tip: don't wash the gloves and use a special pair of socks for several days in a row while you sleep. The oils that are absorbed by the cotton gloves will stay in the gloves and only enhance the moisturizing of your skin in the nights to come!)
- I use babycakes as a before bed facial moisturizer as well as for spot-treating dry patches of skin caused by sensitivity or eczema.
3. Deep conditioning:
- similar to a hot-oil treatment, dampen your hair and use babycakes (melted in your hand) working from the ends up towards the scalp. Cover with a shower cap and let it stay on your hair for as long as you like! Soak in the tub, read a book, clean the house (ha ha!) and then go wash your hair as usual.
What scents do you have?
All of the ingredients have their own natural scents. Therefore, all babycakes will smell like cocoa and a little like coconut, and some of the stronger, earthy scents may be noticeable. I offer a scent-of-the-month as well as natural/unscented all the time. I tend to choose scents that blend well with the cocoa scent, since that's the strongest butter I use. Peppermint, lavender, orange and coconut have been successful options so far.
