Description

Ingredients

• 41 grams or 3 T Sweet Almond Oil (organic, unrefined sweet almond oil)
• 13 grams or 1 T Rosehip Seed Oil or Evening Primrose Oil (organic cold-pressed rosehip seed oil & organic cold-pressed evening primrose oil)
• 5 grams or 2 ½ Cocoa Butter Wafers (organic, unrefined cocoa butter wafers)
• 5 grams or ½ T Beeswax Pellets (naturally and sustainably-sourced beeswax pellets)
• ¼ tsp Vitamin E Oil (non-GMO Vitamin E)
• 25 drops Lemon Essential Oil (organic lemon essential oil)
• 12 drops Geranium Essential Oil (organic geranium essential oil)
• 5 drops Carrot Seed Essential Oil (different than carrot seed carrier oil used in Scratch Mommy founder Jesss Pronounce Skincare Face Serum, use organic carrot seed essential oil in this recipe)
• ¼ cup Water or Floral Hydrosol (I often use rose water, but lavender or calendula infused water would also work well; check out Founder Jesss Pronounce Skincare Rose Water, too)

Directions

• Add the cocoa butter, beeswax, rosehip seed or evening primrose oil, and sweet almond oil to a medium sized glass bowl. Place the glass bowl on top of a saucepan half full of water on the stove to make a double boiler.
• Turn the stove on to medium high and stir the oil mixture occasionally until everything is melted and combined.
• Remove the glass bowl from the heat and add the vitamin E and essential oils, stirring gently to combine.
• Pour the liquid oil and butter mixture into your blender or stand mixer bowl. I find that using a blender helps keep the oil from separating much better than a mixer.
• Place the oil in the fridge for about 10 minutes, or until creamy looking, but not solid.
• Start your blender, or use the stand mixer with the whisk attachment and slooowly drizzle the water or hydrosol in while its running on high. Continue mixing/blending until its a thick lotion.
• Store in a super clean glass jar and apply to the face, preferably at night.
