Moisturizing and balancing cream with lemon

The nettle, rich in minerals and anti-inflammatory, combined with the cleansing lavender decoction make this light cream ideal for moisturizing oily or problematic skin. The addition of lemon essential oil from its peel or flesh, the fresh fruit and then the extract, has a tonic and firming effect on the pores and regulates the oiliness of the skin.

You will need:

• 1 teaspoon of beeswax
• 1 teaspoon of cocoa butter
• 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil
• 2 teaspoons of emulsified wax
• 2 teaspoons of lavender and nettle decoction
• 10 drops of lemon essential oil

Friday:

Heat the beeswax, cocoa butter and grapeseed oil in a bain-marie.

Dissolve the milky wax in the fresh and still warm infusion of lavender and nettle. Slowly add the decoction to the oil mixture, mixing rapidly for 10 seconds. Once the mixture has cooled, pour in the lemon essential oil.

The mixture is stored in the refrigerator for 2 months in a dark glass jar, sterilized with an airtight lid.
