Creating an evening face cream for mature skin involves enriching, hydrating, and nourishing ingredients.
This recipe provides your skin with natural collagen derived from the cocoa butter and shea butter.
85 g Emulsifying wax
30 g Cocoa butter
40 g shea butter
1 tsp evening primrose oil
1 tsp argan oil
1 tsp wheatgerm oil
900 ml hot deionised water (90 degrees celcius)
optional – preservative – Kemaben
optional q.s. Essential oil or fragrance oil
Method:
Gently melt all the oils and butters and emulsifying wax together in a stainless steel pot on the stove top until just melted. Add this to the hot water and commence blending immediately. You can use a spatula or an electric blender. I find using a stick blender to be more efficient than by hand for this process. Blend it well for a approx 2 minutes (if you are using a stick blender), allow to rest and while the cream is cooling blend for a few minutes every now and then until cooled and smooth. Then add your essential oil or extracts of choice and lastly add the preservative.
