Homemade Night Cream
The perfect night cream recipe for your skin!
Servings: 1 Jar
Equipment
Ingredients
- 0.5 oz black castor oil
- 0.5 oz rosehip oil
- 1 oz coconut oil
- 0.35 oz beeswax pellets approximately 1 tbsp of pellets
- 1 oz mango butter
- 5 drops vitamin E oil
- 3 drops geranium essential oil optional
- 1 drop sandalwood essential oil optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (except vitamin E oil and the essential oils) to the glass jar.
- Place the jar in a small saucepan with about an inch of water and melt over low heat.
- Once the ingredients are melted, remove them from the heat.
- Allow the ingredients to cool slightly, then stir in the vitamin E oil and essential oils.
- Once the cream has cooled completely, secure the lid and store it in a cool, dry place (see notes below if you’d like to whip it for a lighter texture).
Notes
If you want to whip this cream, I suggest tripling the ingredients. As written, the recipe makes a small batch, and it can be tricky to whip properly in that amount.
To whip it, let the cream fully set up in a mixing bowl. Once firm, use a hand mixer to beat it until it’s light and fluffy.
Stored in a cool, dry place, it should keep for up to six months.
