This cream is very rich and can be used for all skin types and all over the body. It is especially good for dry skin.
Ingredients:
- 50 gm coconut oil
- 20 gm almond oil
- 25 gm rosewater
- 20 drops of essential oils of your choice (e.g. lavender, rose, frankincense).
Method:
Weigh all ingredients.
Use a Pyrex or stainless steel bowl and add almond oil and coconut oil. Put flower water in another bowl.
Place both the bowls in a large shallow pan of water alongside each other over gentle heat.
When the coconut oil melts, add a drop or two of flower water at a time to the oil while beating.
When all the flower water is absorbed and beaten into the oil, remove from the heat.
Stir in the essential oils, mixing them thoroughly
Poor into glass jars with a lid. Leave in a cool place until it sets or you are ready to use.
Tip: You can divide the cream in a few jars before adding the essential oils to make different combinations
