Today I made a wonderful, nurturing facial cream that is great for mature and sensitive skin. The cream has such a smooth consistency, almost like whipped cream. It leaves the skin moisturized without feeling oily or sticky.


30 ml Almond Oil

  3 ml Borage Seed Oil

  3 ml Calendula Oil

  5 ml Perilla Seed Oil

  5 ml Rosehip Oil

  5 ml Wheat Germ Oil

  4 ml Vitamin E

  6 g Shea Butter

  6 g Cocoa Butter


  2 g Beeswax

  6 g Borax

  1 g Stearic Acid

15 g Vegetable Emusifying Wax

  1 g Xanthan Gum


20 ml Lavender Hydrosol

130 ml distilled Water


8 drops German Chamomile Essential Oils

7 drops Frankincense Essential Oils

4 drops Geranium Essential Oils

4 drops Jasmine Essential Oils

10 drops Lavender Essential Oils


1 teaspoon Honey

1 tablespoon Aloe Vera Gel

Hi V, how did you ship the whipped cream? It sounds to me as if you would have to ship the cream on dried ice to keep the cream from melting. Did you use either beeswax or vegetable emulsifying wax to keep the components together?

Hi -


Do you make this with the same procedure as the instructions for making body cream on the home page, or is there anything different about this recipe? This is all new to me, but I would love to try this recipe. Thanks so much!

Hi Rebbles,


sorry for the late reply. Yes, I do follow the 60-30-10 rule and make this and all my recipes according to the instructions I've listed on this site. You can substitute any of the ingredients if you don't have them at home. Olive oil works also very well. 


Good luck!
