Shea Butter Eye Cream Recipe
Make your own luxurious shea butter and coconut oil eye cream with this all-natural recipe. Many expensive eye creams contain ingredients that don't even work! DIY instead!
Servings: 2 oz
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP shea butter
- 1 TBSP coconut oil
- 1 tsp beeswax pellets
- 1 ½ tsp rosehip oil
- 4 drops geranium essential oil
Instructions
- In a wide-mouth mason jar, combine the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax.
- Fill a saucepan halfway with water and place it on the stove.
- Place the mason jar in the pan of water.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer to melt the ingredients in the mason jar, swirling the jar ever so often to gently mix the ingredients.
- As soon as the ingredients are melted and combined, remove the jar from the water bath.
- Pour the mixture in a small mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the rosehip and geranium oils.
- Scoop the mixture into a glass or steel jar and use a tiny amount under the eyebrow and under eye area at night.
Notes
- If you prefer glass, use these 2 oz round jars.
- No beeswax? Substitute with extra shea butter. The result will be softer but still nourishing!
- You can also use this as a natural eye makeup remover.
- As with anything that’s not specifically for the eyeball, do NOT get this into your eye!
