Recipe| DIY hand cream
The ingredients for 100g are:
Phase A
- Distilled water 50g (find it here)
- Glycerin 34g Amazon, Dragonspice
Phase B
- Emulsifier 4g Amazon, or Dragonspice
- Shea butter 7g Amazon, Dragonspice
- Avocado oil 6g Amazon, Dragonspice
- Coconut oil 3g (you can find it here)
Phase C
- Gel aloe vera 5g (you find it here)
- Tocopherol – Vit E 1g Amazon, Dragonspice
- Preservative 0,6g Amazon, Dragonspice
- fragrance a few drops (I used lavender)
Procedure | DIY hand cream
1. Prepare Phase A by just adding 34g of glycerin in 50g of water.
2. Weight all the ingredients for Phase B.
3. Melt Phase B in a water bath or microwave and heat up also Phase A in order to have
both at the same temperature.
4. Pour Phase A in B.
5. Mix the mixture with a hand mixer till the cream becomes thick and smooth.
6. Mix Phase C to cool down the mixture. When it will be at room temperature, add Phase C, and mix all the ingredients. In this phase, I used the fragrance of lavender. It is my habit to use hand cream before going to sleep and this fragrance helps me to relax and to alleviate stress and anxiety.
7. Finally, pour your cream into a jar (better if recycled). Here my last idea (Instagram Pics) and that’s it!
The result is a perfectly smooth and moisturising homemade hand cream!
