Homemade cream recipes

You can make protective nourishing fat-based creams with your own hands at home:

1. Pour 2 tbsp. l. dried chamomile flowers 100 ml of water, boil for 1 hour, strain and cool. Add 1 tsp. jojoba oil, add 4 drops of orange essential oil. Beat well. The product should be stored in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator, shelf life no more than 1 month.
2. Take 1 tbsp. l. cocoa butter, add 3 drops of bitter orange oil, ground cinnamon on the tip of a knife and 3 drops of grape seed oil. Place the ingredients in a container in a water bath until the butter begins to melt. Then stir and whisk. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dark place for no more than 30 days.
