Base Ingredients
- ½ cup rice milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon shea butter
- 1 teaspoon almond oil
- 1 teaspoon beeswax
Optional
- 3–4 drops essential oil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat Rice Milk: Pour the rice milk into a small saucepan and heat gently over low heat. Be careful not to let it boil, just warm it up to prepare for blending with the oils.
- Melt Coconut Oil and Shea Butter: In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil and shea butter together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and completely liquified.
- Add Beeswax: Add the beeswax to the melted coconut oil and shea butter. Stir gently until the beeswax is fully melted and the mixture has a creamy consistency.
- Combine Rice Milk and Oils: Slowly pour the warm rice milk into the oil mixture while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth and even blend.
- Add Almond Oil: Stir in the almond oil to the mixture to impart a silky texture and added nourishment to the cream.
- Add Essential Oil: If desired, add 3 to 4 drops of your preferred essential oil for a gentle, calming scent. Mix thoroughly to distribute the fragrance evenly.
- Blend Cream: Using a hand blender or whisk, blend the entire mixture for about one minute until the cream is smooth, thick, and well emulsified.
- Pour Into Jar: Carefully pour the finished cream into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid to preserve freshness and prevent contamination.
- Cool and Set: Allow the cream to cool to room temperature where it will thicken and develop the perfect consistency for skin application.
- Apply on Skin: Use a small amount of the cream on your face, massaging gently until fully absorbed for best moisturizing results.
Notes
- Heat ingredients slowly to avoid burning the oils or rice milk.
- Use fresh rice milk for best results and to ensure optimal cream texture.
- Adjust the amount of oils to achieve a thicker or lighter cream based on personal preference.
- Store the cream in a clean, airtight jar to prevent contamination and maintain freshness.
- Optional essential oils can be added to introduce calming or refreshing scents to the cream.
