Embrace the beauty of natural ingredients as we unveil the secrets to crafting a personalized hand cream that leaves your skin soft, scented, and cared for.
Ingredients Needed
- Cream base. It is described as base because it is raw and pure, with no additives. So it has no oils, extracts, color or fragrance added to it. It is meant to be a base to which you add your own additives to make the cream or lotion that you desire. For example, if you wish to make an anti-aging cream, you just add to it the oils and extracts that help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines like this cream here.
- Wheat germ oil
- Rose extract. Consider making your own at home following the guidelines outlined in this article. Keep in mind that preparing the extract will require one month before it’s ready to be incorporated into your homemade beauty products.
- Liquid oily color, soluble in oils, red color
- Rose fragrance oil
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
Tools Needed
- Scale to measure quantities
- Bowl
- Wooden popsicle sticks
- Whisk
- Small containers to store your DIY Hand Cream with Rose Extract
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
