3 Easy Homemade Organic Face Creams

Our skin deserves organic ingredients the same way we nourish our body with organic foods. Many non-organic products contain harmful and toxic chemicals that cause skin rashes, irritation, and in extreme cases, cancer. Homemade face creams are free from these harmful chemicals and preservatives, they are easy to make at home and cost efficient.

How can I make my own face cream?

Without further ado, I am sharing three simple and easy homemade face cream recipes created by Eve Cabanel. They can be made simply by combining and blending butter and oil; for example, shea butter and jojoba oil work best for face moisturizing.

What is the best ingredient for making a face cream?

Hands down, the best ingredient for face moisturizing is Shea butter! It is extracted from shea tree nuts and is an essential ingredient in many cosmetic and skincare products. Shea butter also serves as an itch relief and anti-inflammatory product as it contains fatty acids and vitamins that moisturize, condition, and smoothens the skin. It effectively hydrates the skin, replenishing the skin’s lost moisture. Shea butter is an antioxidant that helps in regenerating cells, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and does not make the skin oily.
