Transfer the cream to a glass container. It can be stored for about 6 months and is best kept in the refrigerator to extend the shelf life.

That's all! It's not as difficult as you thought. Now your skin will thank you for healing natural cream, not for the harsh chemicals found in every cosmetic product you buy. Enjoy!

Before we start creating the cream, it is necessary to disinfect all the instruments and containers. This can be done with boiling water or steam. Then wipe everything with alcohol. This will avoid the multiplication of pathogens in the finished cream. This cream should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 1 month.

We measure out all the necessary ingredients. We add the emulsifier to the base oil and send them to the water bath.

We measure out the hydrolat or prepared water into a second container and, after waiting for the emulsion wax to completely melt, we also slightly heat it up in a water bath.

It is necessary that the 2 phases of our future cream - "water" - hydrolat and "oil" - oil with an emulsifier, reach approximately the same temperature, otherwise, upon subsequent mixing, the desired consistency will not be achieved. Just do not overheat the hydrolat, otherwise all its usefulness will disappear.

We connect our two phases in one container ...

… And start mixing with a mini mixer. Before our eyes, what is formed for which the emulsifier was added - a delicate creamy emulsion.

After waiting for the emulsion to cool to room temperature, you can start adding vitamins and essential oil. If you add them to a hot base for a future cream, then all their beneficial properties will disappear. Added? Mix!

You can already accept congratulations - our cream is ready! But in this form, it can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. To prolong its existence, it is necessary to add a preservative. We will use Sharomix - it is suitable for leave-in cosmetics. It is recommended to add 2-3 drops per 100 grams, so 1-2 drops will be enough for us. We introduce a preservative and mix thoroughly.

So the crucial and solemn moment has come - the finished cream can be put into a beautiful jar!
