Instructions
Cleansing And Preparing Your Workspace
Before you begin, ensure that your workspace is clean and sanitized. Wash your hands thoroughly and gather all your utensils and equipment. This step is crucial to maintain the integrity of your DIY face cream.
Heating And Combining Oils
In a double boiler, gently heat the carrier oils, coconut oil, shea butter, and emulsifying wax until they are fully melted. Stir the mixture well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Emulsifying The Cream
In a separate container, warm the distilled water. Slowly pour the water into the oil mixture while stirring continuously. This emulsification process is essential to achieve a creamy and smooth texture.
Adding Goat Milk And Essential Oils
Once the mixture has cooled down slightly, add the fresh goat milk and your chosen essential oils. Essential oils not only add a pleasant aroma but also bring their own skin benefits to the cream.
Cooling And Storing The Cream
Allow the mixture to cool completely before transferring it into a clean, airtight container. You can store the cream in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life. Remember, since this cream contains natural ingredients and lacks preservatives, it’s best to use it within a few weeks.
