Face and Hand Cream Recipe






Here's What You'll Need:

Double Boiler
Container for storage
3 Tablespoon Mango Butter
3 Tablespoons Cocoa butter
3 Tablespoons Kokum Butter
2 Tablespoon Sweet Almond Oil
2 Tablespoons Kukui Nut Oil
2 Tablespoon Jojoba Oil




Combine all ingredients in double boiler and allow to melt. Kokum Butter will take the longest so I usually add that first. Mango Butter will take the least amount of time and Sweet Almond, Jojoba, and Kukui are already in a liquid state and can be added at the end. Mix well and pour mixture into tin or other storage container. Allow to cool and solidify. Popping it in the refrigerator for awhile can help speed up the process.

I also like to use Rosehip Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, and Ghee as facial moisturizers, but these are best stored in the refrigerator so I did not add them to my recipe. I simply alternate between them every now and then.



I purchased all of the ingredients and containers here.
