Organic Face Cream: How to Make Your Own Organic Face and Hand Cream Products at Home



You don't have to spend a fortune for a high-quality organic face cream or hand cream. In fact, you can make your own at home with ingredients from your own local, organic grocer. Keep reading for a few fantastic recipes for homemade and organic moisturizers.

Rich Coconut Oil Night Cream for Dry Skin

This night cream is rich in lecithin, which helps rebuild and regenerate cell tissue. Combined with the sun-screening properties of sesame oil and lemon's citric acid, which kills bacteria on the skin, the coconut oil will help seal in the skin's moisture and leave your face feeling incredibly smooth.

Recipe:
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup organic sesame oil
  • ¼ cup organic sunflower oil
  • 1 tablespoon liquid lecithin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh organic lemon juice
  • ½ cup organic coconut oil
At low speed, blend egg and sesame oil in a blender. While blender is still running, slowly add the organic sunflower oil, lemon juice and lecithin. Gradually add your organic coconut oil to the mix and blend it until the mixture is thick.

Refrigerate the skin cream for one hour and then blend again at low speed. Apply this organic face cream to face and neck before going to bed. This night cream should be stored in a jar in the refrigerator and may be kept for up to 2 weeks.

Apricot Oil Hand Moisturizer

Apricot oil is particularly effective on skin that is prematurely aged, dry, sensitive or inflamed – making it great for those combating sun damage.

Recipe:
  • 6 dried apricots
  • 2 cups water, preferable distilled
  • 1 ounce grated beeswax
  • 1 cup apricot oil
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup aloe vera gel
  • 5 vitamin E capsules, broken open
In a saucepan, bring water and dried apricots to a boil and simmer for close to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool. Then, in a double boiler set over simmering water or in a heavy saucepan set over a low heat. Combine the beeswax, apricot oil, and coconut oil and then cook, while stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes. Pour into a glass container and set aside.

Place water and apricots in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a cheese cloth, discard the solid leftovers and put the liquid back into blender. Add vitamin E oil and aloe vera gel. Blend mixture at low speed.

Slowly blend the beeswax mixture into the blender and continue blending until it has the consistency of cake frosting. Pour the hand moisturizer into jars and store in a cool place. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Apply to your hands every time you wash them.

Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher

Particularly effective against wrinkles caused by overexposure to the sun, orange oil helps rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. The almond oil in this unique blend will also help replenish the skin's moisture.

Recipe:
  • 2 teaspoons hazelnut oil
  • 1 teaspoon almond oil
  • 8 drops sweet orange essential oil
Combine the oils and massage gently into the skin. Use morning and night after cleansing. This is a great organic face cream for older skin.
