Homemade Face Moisturizer
This simple, all-natural homemade face moisturizer is made from carefully chosen ingredients, perfect for keeping your skin moisturized and refreshed.
Servings: 4.5 oz
Equipment
- Airtight container
Ingredients
- 2.75 oz shea butter approximately ½ cup of raw shea butter
- 0.5 oz jojoba oil 1 tbsp
- 0.5 oz fractionated coconut oil 1 tbsp
- 5 drops lavender optional
- 5 drops sandalwood optional
- 5 drops yarrow pom optional
Instructions
- Add shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil to a glass bowl.
- Set the glass bowl over a pot of water to create a double boiler. Melt all ingredients together.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Add in essential oils if you are using them, and stir together well.
- Transfer to an airtight container and allow it to cool completely before securing the lid.
Notes
- I have included the essential oil amounts in the recipe; however, if you prefer to leave it fragrance-free, you can simply omit them.
- Be sure to check out the detailed step-by-step images in the post.
- Whip the ingredients for a softer final product. Similar to my whipped body butter recipe, you can wait for the melted ingredients to set up slightly and then whip it with a hand mixer for 60 seconds or until light and airy. Then, simply use a spoon to scoop it into your container.
- Avoid using citrus essential oils on the face. If you want to use citrus essential oils, avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours due to photosensitivity.
- Make sure you're working in a clean space.
- Be sure to label your moisturizer! After making plenty of DIYs, I can tell you that adding a label is a total lifesaver—it helps keep everything organized and easy to identify.
