This also allows you to know all the ingredients that make up the cream and therefore guarantee its naturalness! Finally, buying the ingredients of a moisturizer separately is often cheaper than the price of a ready-made product. It's always taken!

How To Make Your Moisturizing Face Cream?
Making your moisturizer at home will not take you more than fifteen minutes. Here's how to go about it:
Preparation:
Boil the water before letting it cool. This will eliminate the particles that could then end up in your cream.
Put the beeswax, sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil and coconut oil in the bowl, to heat in a bain-marie. Be careful, the bottom of the bowl must not be in contact with the water in the pan!
Gradually bring the water in the pan to a boil. Gradually, the oils in your bowl will dissolve! Then remove the bowl from the saucepan and mix with a spatula. Be careful not to burn yourself when taking the bowl out!
Add Roman chamomile essential oil and geranium essential oil to the water you had boiled. Mix, then slowly pour the water into the bowl, stirring its contents.
Continue pouring until the mixture has the texture of cream. Your preparation is ready! Then transfer it to your bottle and voila!
How To Store Your Moisturizer?
For your cream to be effective and fully hydrating, remember to use clean and sterilized instruments. You can simply wash them in your dishwasher, or place them for about ten minutes in your oven at 120°C minimum.
Also try not to keep your cream for more than two months after its manufacture. Store it at room temperature – between 15 and 20°C – in an airtight bottle to isolate it from air and moisture.
