Making Face Cream
Making face cream
This morning when I was getting ready for the office, I realized I needed a good face cream. I can never find what I like in the grocery store. Today I made it a point to get started on a face cream recipe. If I need one, don’t others need one a good one too?
I went sort of tropical with the ingredients. I included mostly Mango Butter with Palm Kernel Oil and Coconut Oil. I put in some stearic acid to make it thicker to the touch and of course, some vitamin E for good skin care.
I have it mixed up and cooling down. Making lotion is really pretty easy. It is mixing oils with water is all. Emulsifying wax holds it all together. The only tricky part is getting the right ingredients in the right combination so it feels like you want it too on the skin.
Here is a recipe for making lotion on the Soap Crafters website. What I’m doing today is making a face cream, which is a lot different than a lotion recipe because it has a lot less water. That particular lotion recipe has been really popular, though.
When I get this face cream recipe perfected, I will put it up on the Soap Crafters website for sale in bulk. All you’ll need to do is add scent and color if you want color. It will have all the required antimicrobial in it already and it will be ready for packaging and resale.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Right now it is cooling down and I’m stirring it once in a while.

UPDATE:
Finished Face Cream
All done!
It turned out great. I have some samples of it here in the office if you are local and want to pick one up. When you come in to pick up your order, let me know you want a jar to try out.
It is really for moisturizing that extra dry skin.
Now I have to figure out what scent I want in my personal jar I’ll use at home!
