Moisturizing facial cream with Avocado oil

This is a very nice recipe, try it in winter

What you need:
  • 10gr Beewax
  • 10gr Cocoa Butter
  • 30ml (2 spoonfuls)Avocado Oil
  • 60ml Almond Oil
  • 5gr of Lecithin powder diluted in 60ml warm water
  • 2 drops of Chamomile Blue essential oil
  • 5 drops of Geranium essential oil

Preparation:
  1. Put all the solid ingredients in a ben-mari heater, so that they will melt slowly.
  2. Put Avocado and Almond Oil in the mix.
  3. Melt the Lecithin powder into the warm water.
  4. Pour slowly the water-lecithin mix into the mix and blend at the same time (either by hand or with a mixer), till you have a white cream (like chantilly)
  5. In the end, add the Essential Oils into the cream and blend again.
Now, your cream is ready, you can keep it into jars and don't forget to put a label with the date of preparation on it.

Of course, all your pots, jars, mixers etc. should be boiled and sterilized from the beginning!

Good Luck! :)
