Homemade products are trendy. Not only for health reasons, you often also save costs. You can also give home-made products as gifts! If you’ve always wanted to know how to make hand cream yourself, here are some tips.
For about 100 milliliters of cream you need:
- 50 grams of cocoa butter
- 40 grams of coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon nourishing oil, such as grape seed or almond oil
- a few drops of essential oil
That’s how it’s done:
- Melt cocoa butter and coconut oil in a bowl over a hot water bath
- Add a tablespoon of maintenance oil and stir
- Let the liquid cool down and add a few drops of essential oil
- Now pour the mixture into a hot rinsed glass and let the mass harden
- The homemade hand cream is ready!
