Incorporate aloe vera.
-
Add the aloe vera gel and whisk vigorously for 1 minute, or use a mini-blender. The low water content of the aloe vera gives the cream a lighter, mousse-like texture.
Packaging and set.
-
Pour into a sterilized 100g amber glass jar.
-
Allow the cream to solidify at room temperature, then seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place and use within eight weeks for optimal effectiveness.
Instructions for use
-
Skin barrier repair and soothing – The fatty acids in coconut oil and the soothing compounds in aloe vera help to heal minor irritations and reduce redness.
-
Evens and brightens the complexion – Rosehip oil gradually reduces dark spots, and caffeine promotes an even glow.
-
Gentle nighttime use – Fragrance-free (unless you choose this option), alcohol-free and free of drying surfactants, making the cream suitable for most skin types.
-
Economical customization – All ingredients are readily available in supermarkets or pharmacies, and the recipe can be modified to adjust the fragrance, richness, or add active ingredients at a price far lower than retail.
With only exotic ingredients like cupboard coffee, baby oil and vitamin E capsules, this homemade cream offers a velvety texture, intense hydration and collagen-boosting botanical extracts for smooth, supple and radiant skin – without the need for luxury products.
