Ingredients & Instructions
- 3 oz Coconut oil
- 1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil
- 15 drops Ho Wood essential oil
- 15 drops Palmarosa essential oil
- 2 drops Frankincense Frereana essential oil
- 2 drops Vitamin E oil
Melt Coconut oil using a double boiler. Add Olive oil. Let it cool for about five minutes, before incorporating the rest of the ingredients (the temperature should be lower than 98° F for essential oils). Transfer into an airtight container or a glass jar (I used this 4 oz amber glass jar) and let it cool down completely. Coconut oil melts at about 78° F, so at normal room temperature, it will be solid. Keep the cream in your fridge if your room temperature is higher than 78° F.
Apply regularly to keep your skin hydrated and healthy!
Beauty Tip: a variation of this cream for man’s skincare – replace Palmarosa with Sandalwood essential oil for a musky, woody fragrance.
